Restore ECCC Weather Services

Gord Johns · 720 signatures

Petitioners say Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) plays a critical role in public safety through weather forecasting, warnings, climate monitoring and research, and that Canada is experiencing increasingly frequent and severe weather and climate events. They contend recent and proposed reductions to ECCC staffing, research capacity and public weather services risk weakening Canada’s ability to predict, monitor and respond to dangerous weather. Petitioners call on the Government of Canada to reverse cuts to ECCC; restore and maintain Weatheradio and other public alert systems; protect and expand observation and climate-monitoring stations; ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding; and recognize forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.

Save Local Radio

Kelly DeRidder · 1,377 signatures

Petitioners state that on July 7, 2026 Rogers Sports & Media closed six radio stations, including 570 NewsRadio Kitchener and 660 NewsRadio Calgary, and say these stations provided local news, emergency alerts, traffic and weather information and municipal reporting that national outlets or online platforms cannot fully replace. They ask the House of Commons to direct Rogers to keep local stations open via legislation, to order a CRTC public inquiry, to legislate minimum local radio services with penalties for non‑compliance, and to strengthen oversight of Rogers, Bell and TELUS to protect local media and residents with limited internet access.

Audit Canada's aid to Ukraine

Bardish Chagger · 35 signatures

The petition, submitted by Canadian citizens and residents, states that since February 2022 Canada has committed over CA$26 billion to Ukraine (including over CA$13 billion in direct financial support and about CA$9 billion for military support) and cites several reports and publications alleging systemic corruption in Ukraine (including a 2021 European Court of Auditors audit, a 2023 book by Ron Derrickson, a U.S. Inspector General quarterly report for April–June 2026, and a New York Times investigation of 6 September 2026). Petitioners ask the House of Commons to request an audit by the Office of the Auditor General of all Canadian financial and military aid to Ukraine since February 2022; appoint an independent commissioner to investigate and report publicly on alleged corruption in that aid; establish an all‑party parliamentary committee to investigate; stop sending Canadian funds and weapons to Ukraine; and cancel a 100‑year partnership with Ukraine. The petition does not include a government response.

Charlottetown Farmers' Market Repairs

Sean Casey · 28 signatures

Petitioners say that after a Christmas Day fire at the Charlottetown Farmers’ Market, talks with Agriculture Canada and L’nuey PEI have not resulted in a long-term lease or repairs, which they say has put vendors’ livelihoods at risk and left a temporary venue in use. They ask the Minister of Agriculture and Agri‑Food to enter meaningful negotiations with the Epekwitnewaq Mi'kmaq respecting their sovereignty, to support food sovereignty and local food production, and to back fiscally responsible repairs to the existing asset. The submitted material does not include a government response.

Adopt metric units for commerce

Will Greaves · 76 signatures

Petitioners say the government seeks to diversify Canada’s trading partners and that most countries use the metric system, arguing that alignment on weights and measures can facilitate trade. They request that the Government of Canada phase out commercial use of Schedule II units under the Weights and Measures Act (including pricing, packaging, advertising, billing, and measurement devices), phase out Schedule II units in federal communications, digital services and procurement, and require consumer products to display Schedule I units by default. The petition text does not include a government response.

Reform Education and Training Benefit

Scott Reid · 75 signatures

The petitioners say the Education and Training Benefit (ETB) is meant to help veterans transition to civilian life and cite a 2022 Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) evaluation that identified opportunities to improve short-course funding and access. They ask the House of Commons to reform the ETB by creating a single flexible entitlement for multiple approved education and training types, allowing transfer of unused entitlement to eligible family members, making ETB payments non-taxable and excluding them from certain income-tested federal calculations, preserving eligibility while VAC adjudicates timely applications, protecting eligibility time affected by VAC rehabilitation, and reviewing service thresholds including Reserve service toward a graduated entitlement model. No government response is included with the petition.

National Strategy for Infection-Associated Disorders

Kent MacDonald · 407 signatures

Petitioners say that infection-associated neuroinflammatory conditions, including PANS and PANDAS, can cause sudden severe neuropsychiatric deterioration in children and that early identification and treatment are critical to preventing long-term complications. They state families across Canada face care gaps and diagnostic delays and note the federal role in setting national standards and funding research. The petition asks the House of Commons to establish a national strategy, direct targeted CIHR research funding, and partner with Health Canada and professional bodies to fund and require accredited continuing medical education and training for health and educational professionals.

Build Canada Stronger Climate Program

Elizabeth May · 158 signatures

Petitioners say recent heatwaves, wildfires, glacier melt, droughts and floods demonstrate a climate crisis caused by burning non‑renewable fossil fuels and require urgent action. They call on the Prime Minister to create and fund a “Build Canada Stronger Climate Program” to accelerate transmission interconnections, scale up renewable electricity (solar, wind, geothermal and batteries), reduce carbon in buildings and industry, electrify transportation, and redirect fossil‑fuel subsidies to help fund the program. No government response is included with the petition.

Tim Hortons seniors discount

Iqra Khalid · 513 signatures

Petitioners ask the House of Commons to urge Restaurant Brands International and Tim Hortons to adopt a consistent national seniors’ discount for people aged 55 and older, proposing examples such as $1 for a small coffee or tea and 25% off baked goods. They state such discounts would improve well‑being and reduce social isolation, citing the 2025 NIA Ageing in Canada Survey and Sinai Health figures (the petition attributes 43% at high risk of social isolation and 57% experiencing loneliness) and contend current Tim Hortons offerings are inconsistent across Canada. The petition does not include a government response.

PEI Basic Income Pilot

Brendan Hanley · 44 signatures

Petitioners state that the Prince Edward Island Special Committee on Poverty's November 2020 report recommended immediate negotiations between Prince Edward Island and the Government of Canada to develop a Basic Income Guarantee demonstration program, and that the report was passed unanimously. They request that the federal government begin negotiations to implement a five- to seven-year demonstration in PEI that would be implemented, monitored and evaluated. Petitioners argue the demonstration would benefit all of Canada by providing information for broader implementation, asserting that poverty is a primary social determinant of health and requires bold approaches.

Stop Canada Post cuts

Marie-Hélène Gaudreau · 83 signatures

Petitioners say Canada Post and the federal government plan cuts that would eliminate door‑to‑door delivery, lower mail delivery standards, lift a moratorium on rural post office closures, and reduce jobs; they state a Canada Post plan submitted to government has not been made public and that seniors, people with disabilities, rural, remote and Indigenous communities would be particularly affected, with about four million households and thousands of workers impacted. They call on the Government of Canada to stop the cuts and to launch an immediate, fully transparent public review of Canada Post’s mandate allowing meaningful stakeholder input; the petition does not include a government response.

Protect postal services

Marie-Hélène Gaudreau · 85 signatures

Petitioners say Canada Post and the governing Liberals are planning service cuts that would eliminate jobs, end door‑to‑door delivery, lower delivery standards, and lift the moratorium on rural post office closures, and that Canada Post submitted a plan to government that has not been made public. They contend these measures would disproportionately affect seniors and disabled Canadians (which the petitioners say represent over 40% of the population), rural, remote and Indigenous communities, and that up to four million households and thousands of workers could lose services or jobs; they also allege the government relied on an Industrial Inquiry Commission report developed with limited public input. The petition asks the Government to stop the cuts and to launch a fully transparent public mandate review of Canada Post allowing meaningful stakeholder input; no government response is included in the petition record.

Rising crime in rural Canada

Kelly Block · 32 signatures

The petitioners, who identify themselves as residents of Canada, say the crime rate in Saskatoon and Saskatchewan threatens public safety, community wellbeing and economic activity; they cite figures since 2015 (violent crime +32%, gang-related homicides +92%) and say repeat violent offenders are obtaining bail more easily. The petition asks the Government of Canada to deliver a detailed plan to address rising rural crime and to repeal what the petitioners describe as "soft-on-crime" and "catch-and-release" policies.

Oppose MAID for Mental Illness

Cheryl Gallant · 27 signatures

Petitioners assert that medical assistance in dying (MAID) will be extended to people with mental illness on March 17, 2027 unless Parliament intervenes, and they say priority should be placed on strengthening mental-health supports rather than expanding MAID. They call for vulnerable Canadians to receive suicide-prevention services instead of MAID, argue MAID risks normalizing suicide, and note that Bill C-218 would exclude mental disorders as a basis for MAID. The petition asks the government to support Bill C-218 to stop the expansion; no government response is included in the petition.

West Coast Corridor Resiliency Partnership

Brad Vis · 35 signatures

Petitioners from Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Merritt and Princeton ask the Government of Canada to recognize the West Coast Corridor Resiliency Partnership (WCCRP) as a strategic partner and to provide predictable, multi‑year federal funding for transportation, flood mitigation and other critical infrastructure. They say the November 2021 atmospheric‑river events exposed vulnerabilities in Pacific Gateway corridors and call for coordinated planning and investment with Indigenous communities, local governments and regional partners to strengthen economic security and climate resilience.
