Remember, Ontario. We have federal carbon pricing in Ontario because of one person and one person only. His name is Doug Ford. Under Kathleen Wynne, we had a cap-and-trade system, working with Québec and California, that meant the feds left the Province alone. Doug threw that out
thereby bringing the federal regime down on us. At the same time, he demolished wind turbines, tore out EV charging stations, established his unconstitutional gas pump sticker circus, and launched his loser of a challenge to the federal legislation (for $30,000,000).
And his abolition of cap-and-trade cost Ontario’s government an estimated $3 billion (according to his own Financial Accountability Office) and imposed higher costs on Ontario households than does federal carbon pricing.

So, way to go, @fordnation. You lost the case, as everyone said you would, and cost the government and the people of Ontario personally just a tonne of money. And you’re doing nothing about climate change. Again, #onpoli let’s remember come election time.
