Based on the #Capilano hashtag, its likely the photo was taken on the North Shore in B.C.

The Deadpool star, who is from Vancouver but currently lives in Pound Ridge, New York, specifically targeted parents in his callout, noting that he wants my daughters to experience the same natural playground I grew up in.

While Reynolds, 42, didnt publicly endorse a party or leader, he highlighted the climate progress made in the last four years. Justin Trudeaus Liberals are seeking a second term in government.

Climate change is affecting kids mental health

Reynolds is among many parents who fear the impact of climate change on future generations not only on their physical well-being but also on their mental health.

In a HuffPost Canada story, parenting expert Alyson Schafer noted that, More and more, our provocative efforts to arouse care and concern on environmental issues are creating a growing amount of fear and anxiety in our children and youth.

Coined eco-anxiety, this new stressor is affecting children around the world. According to a U.K. survey, half of kids between the ages of seven and 11 worry about climate change .
