I am horrified by the proposed cancellation of Bill 4. This past summer's worldwide heat waves should be enough of an indication of climate change to have us all buckling down to reduce our carbon footprint, instead the Ford government is proposing to cut the Cap and Trade Act - to boost economic development! What use is economic development if the climate no longer sustains human beings. We need a stable climate to grow food! The United Nations has already stated that we've passed several tipping points heading us towards catastrophic climate change. Are the tornados in Ottawa not enough of a reminder of potential weather catastrophes?

I want a real climate change plan to reduce emissions, help people save energy and create jobs in the $26 trillion clean economy. Ontario must 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. There needs to be legally binding emissions targets in line with our obligations to the Paris Climate Agreement. We must end subsidies and handouts for fossil fuel companies and redirect this money to clean energy solutions.

Ontario needs to be 100% powered by clean energy by 2050!
