As a resident of Ontario who values healthy communities and the ecosystems that support human health, and believes in the strong evidence based science on climate change impacts, I urge the Provincial government to take strong action now – in the form of effective climate change legislation and supp

I have a 12 year old daughter and am gravely concerned for her future that we start to take action on climate change. Cancelling a program that was already generating millions of dollars that were mandated to be used to reduce our carbon emissions in Ontario is not a positive step.

Dear Mr.Ford,
I believe that this decision will harm our environment and speed up global warming. We all have a part to play in climate change. Canada used to be at the forfront of combatting climate change. Not only will this harm the environment, it will harm our reputation world wide.

Given the severity of the issue, and the irrevocable nature of the damage being done, trying to undo even the small advances we have made is appalling. Ford and his party are obviously only interested in the short-term gains, and not in the future.
Regarding bill 4--I think Ontario needs to strengthen policy and legislation to combat the negative impacts of man induced climate change--CO2 emissions, not retract back in time. This is not progressive environmental policy and is sending the wrong message and that we don't understand or care.

Cap and trade is Nobel Prize winning economic policy.
The world agrees that climate change is going to be unstoppable if drastic changes are not made.
Do not cancel this program.
Do not give up on the planet just to balance the budget.

I reflect The Ontario government cancelling Bill4 without consulting the next generation of voters or even the current voters!
Climate change is clearly here and at the local high school here in Collingwood the students overwhelmingly voted NDP last year over their concern for our planet.

Then Nobel prize winning scientist has proven that carbon tax is the most efficient and effective method of reducing carbon. And we MUST reduce carbon if we are to avoid an environmental catastrophe.
This is revenue already established and being paid for by Ontario citizens. The cost to the electorate to repeal outweighs the savings as most of the infrastructure has already been established and in force.

There is no turning back from this. Please listen to the experts, the scientists. Ignoring climate change will cost Ontarians billions which we can ill afford.
Climate change should not be ignored. The province should do more to encourage energy efficiency in homes and buildings. Making solar panels more affordable would be a good way to save energy and help people save money on electricity.

When I heard that Ontario was planning on cancelling their cap and trade regulations, I was in utter disbelief. The government was finally taking a huge leap forward to help provide a healthy and sustainable future, not just for Canadians, but for the entire world.

Canada needs to be a leader in moving towards sustainability. We benefit so much from nature. Carbon tax is needed to incourage the people and companies to burn less fossil fuel and move towards renewable energy.

As a concerned citizen I am extremely frustrated with the cancellation of the Cap and Trade program and the lack of action on climate change by this government. The recent UN Report outlines how serious the climate change situation is, please take action on this now!
