Ontario had distinguished itself as a climate leader, we are now moving towards a future where we are not even a follower. An entire green energy economy had been created in Ontario, which we are now threatening to destroy. Not only is this a bad idea from an environmental perspective, but it is also a bad idea from the perspective of the economy. The current government clearly cares more about making the rich richer, rather than looking out for the health of Ontarians.

Energy reduction programmes help reduce the strain on power generating infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of building new infrastructure. Cutting these programmes is a bad idea and is not based on any facts or science but on misconceptions.

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 by 2050
I want Ontario to end subsidies and handouts for fossil fuel companies and redirect this money to clean energy solutions.
