Canada is the world's 9th highest emitter of CO2 - see link.

Canada (#9) + Mexico (#13) emit (together) more CO2 than Germany (#6)

What we do matters.

Climate Change is real.

Storms are intensifying and Island nations are losing ground, some are already lost - see link.

Climate Change is unjust. Those who are least responsible for Climate Change are most affected by it - see link.

Drought is intensifying the migrant crisis with an alarming number of people leaving Africa and the Middle East.

Roughly 1% of the earth's population (68.5 million people and rising) are currently displaced.

We need 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.
