Action item #1: "Improve our understanding of how climate change will impact Ontario"
Pretty sure everyone but @OntarioPCParty already know this, but sure spend millions and months making reports. Oooh maybe some memes?!

Action item #2: "Help Ontarians understand the impacts of climate change"
See action item #1

Item 2.c says "Support communities by demonstrating how climate science can be applied in decision making to improve resilience."
I would pay to see DoFo demonstrate this!

Ooh now we get some drawings of how homeowners can stop basement floods! That's it folks, climate change is solved! 
Action item #3: "Update government policies and build partnerships to improve local climate resilience"
The word "resilience" is used numerous times here. Basically Dougie thinks private money should fix damage from climate change and we should just deal with it.

Well now they've presented a chart with pretty colours on it. Clearly this explains everything.
"The Ontario Carbon Trust is an emission reduction fund that will use public funds to leverage private investment in clean technologies..."
Sounds like while Dougie cancelled energy rebates for people, he's now giving our money to corporations? Not very For The People of him

"As part of our commitment to transparency,
the government is committed to updating and reporting on these estimates once program details are finalized"
Typical Ford logic. Doesn't have a plan yet but he'll get back to you maybe one day. Transparency!

"Our made-in-Ontario standards
will consider factors such as trade-exposure, competitiveness and process-emissions, and allow the province to grant across-the-board exemptions for industries of particular concern, like the auto sector, as needed."
Nice loophole you got there.

"Implement emission performance standards for large emitters"
Its called cap and trade, or also carbon tax. It's hilarious how many times the PC'S say things already established as though they just came up with them.

That is one shitty logo.
So far this whole plan is
- give public money to private sectors and hope they use it wisely
- spend money telling people climate change exists and they need to deal with it
- pictures!!
