Climate change protesters, pictured Sept. 27, 2019, on Parliament Hill. It's estimated that 5,000 people took to the Hill for the protest. 'A recent Ipsos poll indicated that 46 per cent of Canadians do not want to spend any additional money in the form of taxes or higher costs of goods to combat climate change. Isn’t this evidence that many Canadians will put their economic welfare ahead of melting glaciers,' writes Gerry Nicholls. The Hill Times photograph by Sam Garcia
