“Our case is asking a simple question: where is the government’s plan to meet Canada’s 2030 climate target? If the Carney government believes its climate plan is credible, it should be willing to defend it in court.” - Sophia Mathur Sign the statement of support now >> ecojustice.ca/take-action/...

For the record, the Ontario Lawsuit is a Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms Case. This lawsuit is an administrative case hinged on federal government's failure to uphold the Canadian Net Zero Emissions Accountability Act - an act I lobbied for in 2020 & 2021 www.thesudburystar.com/news/youth-i...

Life is great. Graduated high school Studying economics and policy next year! My parents got me an autographed Grievous Angels album: @charlieangus104.bsky.social wrote: “You were speaking before the storm.” He was at my very 1st #FridaysForFuture strike — Nov 2, 2018. Full circle. PS #Resist

Album cover for Summer Before the Storm by the Canadian band Grievous Angels. The artwork is a vivid, stylized painting featuring band members playing instruments surrounded by symbolic animals, including a moose, wolf, turtle, bees, a swan, and a flying goose. In the background is a depiction of Noah’s Ark on turbulent waters. The cover is signed by several band members, including Charlie Angus, who wrote a personal message to me, Sophia Mathur, in the top right corner: “Sophia, You were speaking up before the storm. —Charlie Angus.”

The picture is from November 2, 2018

Former Member of Parliament Charlie Angus stands in a park next to a young girl, Sophia Mathur, during Sophia's very first climate strike in Bell Park in Sudbury.

They are both smiling and holding up a small globe together, symbolizing shared responsibility for the planet. Charlie is wearing a dark coat and jeans, while Sophia is dressed warmly in a colorful floral jacket, red hat with a cartoon eye, and grey winter boots. Autumn leaves are scattered across the grass, and handmade protest "parachutes for the planet" are laid out on the ground behind them. The atmosphere is peaceful and hopeful, emphasizing youth climate leadership and intergenerational solidarity.
