Judge rejects youths' lawsuit that asks Canada to develop climate recovery plan

Justice Michael Manson said in a written decision released Tuesday that the claims don't have a reasonable cause of action or prospect of success so the case cannot proceed to trial.

"This is the opinion of a single judge of the Federal Court, and obviously we respect his role and his right to say what he said. But we don't accept that it's correct and we hope that the highest court will disagree with him." They also said subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and the purchase of the Trans Mountain Pipeline highlight Canada's failure to fulfil its own commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Sierra Robinson, 18, a plaintiff in the case, said she is disappointed in the decision but it won't stop the youths between the ages of 11 and 20 from fighting for a better future as many of them become old enough to vote. "The government and the courts are saying that they don't have a responsibility to do anything. That brings up the question: What is an adequate way to deal with these issues if you think this isn't a place for the courts or this isn't a place for youth to step up and try to create change. Where are they expecting change to come from?"

I wonder why? Brainwashed kids maybe.

Maybe the youth should spend more time in school and actually attempt to understand the non existent impact Canada has on the global climate...and stop wasting my tax dollars on their attempted 15 mins of fame.

Youth.. ppfft, what do they know?

youthvote have a difficult task, overcoming the vote-splitting defect of FPTP by endorsing a single party b4 elxn44. simcoenorth bsom

Why am I not surprised by this “The youth are being supported by the David Suzuki Foundation”. The fact it made it this far and into the news is disappointing.

here's the deal, when China and India and the other big polluters around the world cut their coal mining and consumption, we'll do the same.

😡

.....they can’t even get a budget done!
