I want a real climate change plan to reduce emissions, help people save energy and create jobs in the $26 trillion clean economy. Scrapping the cap and trade program would allow emissions and energy use to go unchecked, and it would create minimal short term jobs.
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. The money we get from putting a price on pollution can be used for a multitude of government programs to help Ontarians, like retrofitting buildings to be more energy efficient so there's less wastage of energy.
I want legally binding emissions targets in line with our obligations to the Paris Climate Agreement. Canada signed the Paris Climate Agreement and we are obligated to uphold our end of the agreement for the good of Ontarians, Canadians, and the world. We have all agreed that climate change is a major issue that threatens humanity as a whole, and we need to do all we can to prevent it from worsening and try and roll back it's severity.
I want Ontario to be 100% powered by clean energy by 2050. Non-renewable and polluting energy sources are unsustainable and expensive. The more we invest in clean energy, the quicker we can get there, save money, and live more healthily.
I want Ontario to end subsidies and handouts for fossil fuel companies and redirect this money to clean energy solutions.
