Last week, the United States government launched the American Climate Corps, and I think we need to immediately follow suit up here in Canada.

The idea is to train young peolpe in clean energy, conservation, climate resilience skills and create jobs that will help tackle the climate crisis. The U.S. Government is going to create more than 20,000 jobs for young people that will hopefully give them stable income and help ensure that the country will be just a bit better off when it comes to the climate.
