It would be very selfish to cancel Cap and Trade. It would mean that our generation was living nothing to our children. Please do not cancel Cap and Trade.
12 years to turn things around. A Nobel Prize that proves Carbon Taxes work. There is no longer any room for political posturing. As a province and as a country we need to be doing all we can to ensure there is a viable world left for our children and grandchildren.
I strongly urge the government to withdraw Bill 4. It is a vital interest of Ontarians to do their part in warding off climate change, and putting a price on carbon, using effective and efficient market tools as far as practicable, is an essential step to that end.

I am writing to express my strong concern that Bill 4 does not acknowledge the urgency of the climate crisis. In my view, it represents an unconscionable step backward in the fight against climate change.

I'm sending a link to the NY Times article on the UN climate report in case you missed it.

Climate change should be at the forefront of the economy. I know if I was in the market to buy a new vehicle I would buy electric. But taking away the government incentive makes it almost unobtainable.

What is the Ontario government's thought on the latest UN climate report? That states we will reach our 2.7 fahrenheit limit in less than 11 years? What is their thought to these wild weather patterns and storms we have been experiencing?

In light of the climate change we are experiencing as a result of our emissions, it is irresponsible to cancel the existing Cap and Trade legislation until a new program has been properly designed.

Our corporate overlords have gone too far already in pushing our politicians to adopt policies that are ruining our environment.
Please put a stop to the long arm of capitalism and don't allow Doug Ford to repeal this province's only protection without having a plan in place.

"A number of authors have wisely made this point: "Stable rules that are not changed retroactively are a necessary condition in order to provide an appropriate risk-adjusted return to induce private captial to flow to low-carbon investments." Similarly, "The government must convince firms that it wi

Repealing action on climate change without another plan in place is criminal negligence for our children’s future. I find it abhorrent how flippantly this conservative government is treating the most important and critical issue of our time.

Cancelling cap-and-trade is a profoundly stupid, short-sighted move given how urgently governments need to effectively address climate change. Stop pandering to corporate interests and represent those whose you were elected to represent: the people.
This is a monumental error based on complete ignorance about climate change and how to correct it. The only justification is money at the expense of our future.
I believe that this program has helped lower our carbon footprint - and it should be kept, expanded and recognized that the UN is now firmly behind the science pointing to the importance of lowering our use of fossil fuels.

I believe it to be horribly irresponsible for our province to opt out of our promises to ensure the drastic reduction in carbon emissions, and to turn a blind eye to the options we have to progress positively in the energy sector and help our environment now and for decades to come.

Climate change is the most pressing issue of our time. The Ford government is seriously delinquent in its responsibilities to the people of Ontario if it does not do everything in its powers to radically lower our carbon emissions in the province.
