These Ontario voters want climate change to be a bigger issue in this federal election [Video]

When Sacha Adkins looks at her children, she sees more than the present — she sees a future marred by rising temperatures and political inaction.

A voter in Kitchener-Conestoga in Ontario, Adkins told CBC News that climate change has become difficult to ignore since becoming a parent.

“You’re just really aware of the world that your kids are going to grow up in,” she said.

Adkins is worried the world her children will live in as adults will be very different from the one we live in now, adding it’s “already very different from the one the generation of our parents grew up in.”

The headlines in this federal election campaign have been dominated by talk of tariffs and Canada’s relationship with the United States, but some voters who spoke to CBC News said climate and environmental policies remain a top concern for them as they decide who to vote for on April. 28.
