Ten Climate Reasons to
Challenge the Ford Government
Governments and corporations that rely on fossil fuels are “choking our planet … when cheaper, renewable solutions provide green jobs and energy security.” It is a “file of shame.”
We cannot know whether United Nations Secretary General António Guterres had Ontario Premier Doug Ford in mind when, two months before Ontario’s June 2 election, he said that.
What follows shows clearly what we do know: it’s a fat file of documented evidence. It proves that the Ford government has a shameful record. It is ignoring – and even promoting – climate breakdown.
Ontario has no credible climate plan. No climate adaptation plan. No just transition plan. We can’t afford Doug Ford.
1. Ford’s climate plan is not meant to reduce emissions
2. Ford is committed to fossil fuels
3. Ford’s bad energy choices threaten our future
4. Ford lets big greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters off the hook
5. Ford rewards big electricity users, while families pay the price
6. Ford’s health care cuts increase climate health risks
7. Ford is destroying the biosphere: forests and peatlands are on the list
8. Ford is paving over wetlands and pushing urban sprawl
