Today in #onpoli: Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles asks Premier Doug Ford to commit to taking serious climate action in the wake of the wildfires. Ford says she is "politicizing the wildfires."
FACT CHECK: climate change isn't political. It's science & pretty undeniable right now

How does climate change cause more wildfires?
Temperatures are increasing because of emissions produced by human activity. This is causing dry conditions that allow wildfires to break out. They spread because we're cutting down more trees to build stuff so the ground is drier.

As much as the Ford government has been talking about its emergency preparedness team, the fact is I hahe been trying to talk to Ontario’s deputy minister of emergency preparedness for months, and been told repeatedly that he’s “unavailable” for an interview in any time frame.e
Ontario recently pledged $110 million toward disaster relief, but is refusing to answer questions about its plans or progress. We know they've cut the forest firefighting budget. We know they've cut conservation authority powers.
The wildfires are here and I have many questions.
