That's a great question! Sorry for the delay, I wanted to refresh my knowledge of the Citizen's Climate Lobby before I responded. Think of it like this...

The work of the CCL is vital in educating people and mobilizing them to drive change. Our goal is to build on these efforts, to establish "electoral blocks" that will compel politicians to go beyond words and reports. They will know that their political future relies on them taking decisive action as was promised in their election campaign. We will monitor and track them in real time. They will finally have the mandate to enact meaningful policies and if they don't deliver, they will be replaced by someone who will.

Is that clear? Our website goes live in the coming days. You can find out more there.

Kent, that is an excellent question. If politicians don't feel compelled to enact meaningful legislation they will stick with what will ruffle the least amount of feathers. You might trying reaching out to this organization and begin a dialogue

Also why aren't EV's allowed in MB?
