Action Required: Reject Ford's Climate Cancellation Bill

Dear Roger,

We need your help to stop Doug Ford from dragging us backwards on climate change.

The Premier took a day off from Queen's Park today to join rallies in Alberta and Saskatchewan against pollution pricing. That's right. Instead of working on a climate plan, he is joining other provinces to obstruct climate action.

Doug Ford did not win a mandate to turn us into the country's worst climate offender.

If Bill 4 passes, it will eliminate the only climate policy we have. It will cancel pollution pricing. It will erase emissions targets. It will scrap all funding for energy saving solutions.

And worse yet, the Minister of Environment tried to break the law by not even asking the public before making these environmental changes.

Finally, under pressure, the PC government opened a public consultation on Bill 4.

So we have until October 11 to tell Premier Ford that we reject his climate cancellation bill.

We need everyone who cares about the future of our planet to take part in this consultation and demand a real climate plan.

We must do this for the people whose lives have already been affected by the floods, fires and storms that are exacerbated by climate change.

Click here to make a submission. Here are some suggestions of what to say:

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.
