Canadians want urgent climate action, but most not willing to pay more tax: poll

After the worst wildfire season on record and baking heat waves this summer, most Canadians want the government to take urgent action against climate change — but fewer are willing to dig into their own pockets to help that fight, according to recent polling.

More than two-thirds (68 per cent) of respondents to a new Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News agreed that Canada will continue to grapple with extreme weather events.

A growing number of Canadians (62 per cent) also believe that this year’s record-setting wildfire season highlights the need to tackle climate change, which a majority in the poll (63 per cent) said was the reason for the worsening fires.

Ipsos representative Sanyam Sethi expanded on the 65 per cent statistic of residents who believe the government needs to take imminent action on climate change — and how if they don’t, the feds are “failing” citizens.
