DYK that when surveyed one of the main reasons people didn't vote was because no one asked them. Well I'm asking you to vote. And also please ask your friends to vote as well. #ldnont #climate #vote #ontpoli

You can still vote before Thursday! If voting on election day might be a challenge then you can vote at your riding election office in person until Feb 26th. Check out www.elections.on.ca for details. Your vote matters! Election Day is this Thursday. #ldnont #climateaction #vote #ontpoli

Looks like a great day to Vote! Today is the last day of Advance Polls before Feb 27th. Voting is the #1 Climate Action you can take! Encourage your friends and family to vote. Even better go together if possible! #ldnont #ontpoli #climateaction #ontarioelection2025

For overriding the Ontario Energy Board decision to stop subsidizing methane gas hookups the Ford Government scores another “F” The OEB decision was made to reduce risk for ratepayers as new gas infrastructure will soon be considered a stranded worthless asset. #ldnont #ontpoli #climateaction

Well worth the read. #ldnont #ontpoli #climate thenarwhal.ca/ontario-elec...

For the Greenbelt Betrayal, Scandal and Reversal the Ford Government scores another “F”. Profits over Planet / “Connected Developer Profits” over “Land-use planning advice” rationale leads to climate and environmental harm. Only a slide in the polls resulted in a reversal. #ldnont #ontpoli

No vote! No voice! Please make a plan for voting in the Ontario election. Advance polls are only open for 3 days. With an anticipated low turnout your vote matters even more. Thank you for voting for the planet 💚🌎 #ldnont #ontpoli #climateaction #vote

For removing bike lanes & making it harder to add new ones, the Ford Government scores another “F” Taxpayers are on the hook for $48M to remove bike lanes that took $27M to install. It will further create induced demand, more emissions, poorer air quality & slower commute times #ldnont #ontpoli

For making the Ontario Electricity dirtier the Ford Gov't scores another “F” Initially disgusted as meeting short-term demand increases, the use of Fossil Gas plants is now part of the long-term plans. Between 2019 and 2023 the carbon intensity of the Ontario grid increased 131% #ldnont #ontpoli

A recent US Depart of Energy report confirmed what other reports have concluded. That increased LNG exports to Asia are delaying adoption of renewable energy. When we react to tariffs we need to make decisions on clear evidence not on outdated industry talking points #ldnont #tariffs #canada

For not following Ontario’s Environmental Bill of Rights & automatically approving harm to endangered species the Ford Gov't scores an “F” Auditor's reports - Ford gov’t deliberately ignored public transparency rules & rubber stamps permits to destroy endangered species habitat #ldnont #ontpoli

Is the threat of a Trump tariff war put a focus on nation building projects? Let's look to a future resilient diverse economy. Let's build high speed rail from Windsor to Montreal. Let's invest in public renewable energy, national energy retrofit programs & affordable housing. #ldnont #climateaction

For making it cheaper & easier to pollute our water the Ford Gov't scores another “F” The Ford gov't ended the standardized rules that cover pollution released into waterways, and instead create individual requirements for each industrial operation without any minimum standards. #ldnont #ontpoli

Fossil fuel companies & politicians captured by their lobbyists will be promoting investing in pipelines & LNG projects to protect our sovereignty. Don’t fall for this Bait & Switch tactic Full life-cycle emissions that incl methane leaks are just as bad as coal. #ldnont #tariffs #canada

For the continued push for Hwy 413 and wilful ignoring of evidence the Ford Government scores another “F”. It would have negative impacts on climate change, and the protection of species at risk by destroying habitats and harming historical Indigenous sites. #ldnont #ontpoli

DYK Over 70% of Fossil Gas (aka Natural Gas) used in Ontario is imported from the US? Most is fracked gas If we are concerned about Economic Sovereignty with the Trump admin then let’s transition from gas to electric heat pump and invest in solar energy and battery tech #ldnont #tariffs #canada

For weakening protections to wetlands the Ford Gov't scores another “F” Changed rules make it easier for developers to pave over wetlands. Species at risk cannot be considered & prevents small interconnected bogs, swamps & marshes from being assessed as a network #ldnont #ontpoli #climateaction

With the ongoing threat of tariffs & supply chain issues let's focus on building capacity locally It can mean buying Made in Canada but it can extend to community level renewable energy. Tackling climate change while keeping money within the local economy makes a lot sense (and dollars) #ldnont

For eliminating the rebate program for EVs & slowing adoption of low emission vehicles the Ford Gov't scores another “F” Other provinces cont'd a rebate program in tandem with the previous federal program. Ont could have adjusted so rebates applied only to vehicles under a $ value #ldnont #ontpoli

One of the things we could do to address the Trump tariffs is expand local food production and processing. Sounds like a great idea? Then why would we pave over our farmland? The City of London expanded Urban Growth Boundary would pave over our farmland. It will be lost forever. #ldnont #farmland

For eliminating the position of the Office of Environmental Commissioner, an independent watchdog, the Ford Gov't scores an “F” A commissioner provides objective analysis & recommendations. They hold govts accountable for protecting the environment & following laws #ldnont #ontpoli #climateaction
