I would hope that any government in power in the 21st century would realize the damage humans are having on the planet. Cancelling this program - that is up, running and successful - without a plan to replace it is ridiculously short sighted.

I oppose Bill 4 because of the following reasons:
The consultation process for Bill 4 was insufficient
Bill 4 ignores the urgency of climate change
Bill 4 closes Ontario for business to the clean economy
Bill 4 gives little detail about a replacement plan

I am extremely opposed to Bill 4. It is short-sighted, selfish and throws future Ontarians under the bus. It is critical to act NOW to combat climate change, including giving up economic benefits that green energy would bring.
I’m concerned that this bill has no long term vision for curbing ontario’s contribution to human driven climate charge. I would like to see policies drafted which will disincentivize the increased consumption of fossil fuels within our society.

Bill 4 is a giant leap backwards in the urgent issue of curbing climate change. It gives me a picture of people with their heads in the sand and their hands in the pockets of dying industries. Where is our leadership? Where is our courage? Where is our sense of responsibility to future generations?

I believe climate change is happening. Government must help protect all citizens of Canada. Denial and regression of climate by the governing party of the province of Ontario will not help us all prepare for the future.
It is clear that the world is threatened by climate change. Numerous climate events as well as the slow inundation of several island states as well as numerous unusually strong and damaging storms are all precursors of more serious climate change consequences.

I am 100% against the government canceling the cap and trade bill. As an Ontario citizen this is as foolhardy an act as is possible for my government to do.
I agree with the current Ontario government that we need a market mechanism to combat climate change. But how can you have a market mechanism that does not put a price on pollution? You want to tear down cap and trade, and refuse to replace it with a carbon tax, so what's left? Regulation?

Cancelling any plan at this point is just another delaying tactic. And we know that the current government won't come up with anything meaningful. We are already doing too little.
In light of the UN's recent report on the short timeline of catastrophic global warming, we cannot afford the time it would take to start from scratch with a new provincial climate change plan.

Cancelling the Cap and Trade program, with no replacement is a subjugation of our responsibility to our commitment to the Paris Climate Accord. Ontario moves from progressive climate action to laggards. Less than 40% of the population voted for Ford and his ignorant minions.

It's absolutely backwards thinking to not protect our future generations from climate change. It is not the Ontario way to not care and to not have a plan to protect our planet. It is NOT the Canadian way! We care and we want action!
