Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the pledge during the 2019 election campaign, and the goal was repeated during the government’s 2020 throne speech setting out policy objectives.

5 years and not much, 2-3 % of the goal

Heck if they had just asked every new immigrant/refugee to plant just 1 tree immediately they’d be much further into this goal.

I actually like the idea of such a program that I just dreamed up. Newcomers to Canada should be excited to fulfill their patriotic duty to plant 1 tree to “grow new roots” in their home country
