ABOUT US
We are students, teachers, parents, grandparents - we are open to everyone who wants to come together to demand a livable future.
Last Generation Canada, formerly known as On2Ottawa, is a nonviolent civil resistance campaign that launched on March 1st 2023.
Since then, Last Generation Canada has been mobilizing and growing, conducting 3 weeks of disruption in Ottawa in August and September 2023.
We are the Last Generation. We are everywhere, and we are coming.
who are we?
why disruption?
who funds us?
Sustained, nonviolent civil resistance has been proven to be the most effective method to achieve change in a short amount of time.
We know we don't have much time left. Climate tipping points are nearing as the world around us is being decimated.
Scientists, the IPCC and the UN have been calling on the world to take action, yet nothing has changed. Continuing business as usual is genocidal.
Non-violent civil disobedience exposes the implicit violence of the state and makes it explicit for the whole world to watch. Nonviolent civil disobedience aims to raise the cost of disruption above the cost of meeting our demand
Last Generation Canada gets funding from the Climate Emergency Fund and from ordinary people making donations.
This money is spent on materials such as our safety vests, banners, leaflets, and helps us to host talks and support people participating in direct action.
OUR DEMANDS
a national firefighting agency that trains and employs 50 000 firefighters
Canada IMPLEMENTS Legally binding citizen's assemblies to tackle the climate and ecological crisis in less than 2 years
1.
2.
A size of land the area of Greece burned in Canada this summer and 2 billion tonnes of Carbon Dioxide were emitted as a result of devastating wildfires. Meanwhile, over 70% of Canada's wildfire fighting forces are volunteers. This is at 1.3 degrees of warming, and we must demand that Canada protect those fighting on the front lines of the climate crisis and protect our last precious carbon sinks.
We can't trust our criminal government to take the measures necessary to save us, as they've known about the climate crisis for decades. We must put power back into the hands of ordinary people to reach for the change that is necessary to secure us a livable future.

Canada's 2023 Wildfire Season
2 billion tonnes Co2 released
6,551 Fires
5% of Canada's forests gone
200 000 Evacuated
18.5 Million Hectares burned
At least 6 Dead.
yet over 70% of Firefighters are volunteers. Forces have lost 30 000 firefighters since 2016.
That's almost 4 times Canada's annual emissions, and equivalent to the emissions of 100 countries
This season was 6x worse than average.
Canada's boreal forest was especially hit hard as we lose our last precious carbon sinks.
Climate change is causing seasons to get hotter and drier. More smoke from wildfires produces more lightening, and this creates dangerous feedback loops.
Those living in small northern communities - Indigenous communities especially, are facing the devastating impacts of the climate crisis first. Over 42% of evacuees are Indigenous.
