TALK WITH OTHERS! NEW POLLING SHOWS : 58% of Canadians say transitioning away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy is more important than ever, in light of U.S. aggression. 59% believe Canada would be safer if it produced more renewable energy. 67% say reliance on oil and gas increases the risk of international conflict.

Canadians are strongly opposed to foreign aggression to secure access to natural resources. 70% say that it’s completely unacceptable for one country to use military force to take control of another nation’s resources. 72% percent say it would be unacceptable for the United States to have arrested Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to access oil reserves. 80% say it would be unacceptable for the United States to seize Greenland for its natural resources.

New poll conducted after the U.S. actions in Venezuela and threats to seize Greenland finds that a majority of Canadians believe made-in-Canada renewable energy is MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER for strengthening Canada’s national security.
