Hi,

I’m incredibly disappointed in the direction taken by the recent government. Wanting clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and nature to enjoy is NOT a partisan issue. We can all differ on the ways to accomplish this, but the current provincial government seems to be actively taking steps to harm the above. I want a real climate change plan to reduce emissions, help people save energy and create jobs in the $26 trillion clean economy. I want Ontario to put a price on pollution, making polluters pay for their emissions and returning the revenues to the pockets of Ontarians so they can lower their carbon footprint. I want legally binding emissions targets in line with our obligations to the Paris Climate Agreement. I want Ontario to be 100% powered by clean energy. I want Ontario to end subsidies and handouts for fossil fuel companies and redirect this money to clean energy solutions.

Finally, I want Ontario to be a leader in this area, not a regressive embarrassment on the national and international stage. Sadly, I don’t think this will be the case for years to come.
