Main reasons why the CP should not scrap cap and trade
1. Climate change is a major threat to life on this planet and we have run out of time.
2. Economists agree that carbon pricing is the most cost-effective way to fight climate change.

I strongly disagree with the repeal of Ontario’s cap and trade system. The impending global climate breakdown is an existential issue for humanity. Ontario may only contribute to a fraction of the problem but every jurisdiction can claim this and so each must do its part.

Mr. Ford has failed to submit anything resembling a detailed plan. Apparently this move is supposed to put money back in the pockets of the taxpayers. How? What is definite is that it will benefit those businesses that will be allowed to pollute with impunity,

The cancellation of the Cap and Trade program is a most wasteful action by our government. It is not only an action against the work of reducing GHG, it is an action against people and the planet, and the least loving kind of behaviour possible. It is death affirming rather than life affirming.

I live in Hamilton. I am a born Canadian taxpayer. I believe the most serious threat to my family's life is climate change. I learned about this at the University of Waterloo in the 1990's when Hurricane Katrina had not wreaked it's destruction and chaos on our world yet.

Cancelling the existing cap and trade policy is a reckless and damaging decision. The decision endangers my children and grandchildren and future generations.

Carbon pricing should still be part of Ontario's Climate Plan. Until it is improved on, the Federal Backstop will do for now, so don't fight it. Let the feds recycle the revenue to all legal citizens, regardless of age. Credits to underage children into trust accounts until they are 18.

Repealing cap and trade is insane in an era where the greatest threat Ontario, Canada, and the world face is climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions in farming, manufacturing, and transportation. Cap and trade was used successfully in the 1980s and 1990s to fix the problem of acid rain.

We're going to run out of fossil fuels eventually. This is an undeniable fact. Why are we playing this dangerous game of adding more and more CO2 into the atmosphere?

Cancelling this important piece of legislation is a disgrace. Cap and trade allows us to set up a system for limiting carbon emissions in a way that benefits Ontario's economy.

I believe the cancellation of the Cap and Trade program is a mistake. Green house gas emissions must be controlled and lowered as soon as possible and it is appropriate that the polluters pay.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment .
I support 100% what Citizens’Climate Lobby Canada is requesting to Queen’s Park this October 2018. Because my comments would totally mirror what they wrote I simply copied and pasted their document below. Thank you for seriously considering it.

I am a thirteen year old boy who’s looking out for his own and everyone else of this youth generations well being. I stand by my opinion of disapproving Doug Ford’s decree. The environmental bill of rights is one of the few things keeping this world from total disaster of worldly proportions.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s recommendation is that the Ontario legislature should phase out cap and trade by 2021 while phasing in carbon fee and dividend.

As a Canadian youth I believe that when I disagree with this political decision I stand with thousands of my peers. As the next generation, we will have to live with the disruptive, dangerous, (and avoidable) consequences of Climate Change if this repeal continues.

I strongly believe that Ontario should not scrap the Cap and Trade program because of the multitude of programs it is able to support. We all need to conclude that pollution has a cost and we can't keep pushing it onto our children and their future children.

I am most vehemently opposed to the cancellation of the cap and trade tax. It funded many worthwhile grassroots projects that bade a difference to our environmental health.

The Climate Change Mitigation and Low-Carbon Economy Act, 2016 should not be repealed. It is central to Ontario’s sustainable future and is only the first step in making policy changes to address the already present threats of climate change.

Pulling resources from the goal of reversing climate change is terrifically, fantastically stupid. Even as the first climate refugees appear and microplastics turn up in all our food, commerce has no desire to mitigate its own disastrous impact. That is what government is for.
