Truth: Canada’s climate performance is the worst in the entire Western world. The exploitation of tar sands is the primary reason Canada will fail to meet its own meagre climate targets, and continues to violate the rights of Indigenous peoples.

Dare: PM Harper, face the music in New York and see how far out of touch you’ve become from the international community and the reality of climate change.

BREAKING: As of today, PM Harper is planning not to attend the UN climate summit -- which shows you just how seriously he's taking the crisis.

We know he's reluctant to go for a reason and we’re prepared to continue to build a chorus calling for real, just action back in Canada.

Either way, the time is now for these ugly truths to come to light, and for us to dare for something better.
