I support him!

Maybe because co2 is not pollution, stoopid.

What about the Ontarians who voted him in for specifically this reason?

Except everyone who voted for the PCs.

Complete nonsense. The election of FordNation & the PCs proves the overwhelming majority of Ontarians support his decision to scrap cap and trade.

Amateur hour at the National Post?! Trying to makes sure of that ongoing subsidy? Thirty pieces of silver was needed for one historic betrayal, does that equate the hording received by disrespecting 2.4 million voters that voted Doug for that reason?

I’ll support scraping Dougass. Our environment is more important than Ford.

Seems like the voters supported this. This commissioner is not qualified for the job.

What's next'largest majority in history'

The election results say otherwise. The voice of the people always hold more validity that the opinion of one commissioner.

I supported it.

Sad. Canada has their own fake news too.

Absolutely false. Your reporters must not get up until noon.

FakeNews

Over 2 million dont think so get your shit together

Excuse me but who won a majority ousting the Liberal loving carbon tax people to 7 seats

Except who counts...the voters

excuse me, but wasn’t that like the main campaign promise he won office on?

Really many people dumped the Libs and ignored the ndp because they dont wsnt the government to redistribute income from thr poor and working class to the chattering classes amd big business

What utter nonsense

The ppl that voted for him did.

When the National Post publishes this type of article, they are not representing the best interest of average Canadians. Recognize this for what it is, liberal propaganda.

Fake news from National Post

FakeNews

The Commissioner is a true believer. That explains everything. Real science does not matter.

😂😂😂😂😂

I support it and so did my bills

Fake news. Liberal loving National Post.

'The Commissioner is appointed by the government... for a term of five years, and must swear to...impartially exercise the functions of the office,' Current commissioner appointed by the Liberals... Ford is cutting her budget...nuff said re her impartiality.

National Post is post national.

He has a majority govt because he called out the climate con, you ridiculous losers who now populate the intellectually empty shell that is now the Nat post.

National Post, rapidly approaching bankruptcy, with the apparent gleeful support of its lefty SJW management and staff. Good.

Keep trimming the fat Doug you're doing a great job

At least fordnation campaigned on removing cap and trade. Unlike Trudeau who said nothing, then brought the provincial environment minister to Ottawa on the premise of discussing it. Locked them in a room and held a news conference behind there backs Frigging back stabber.

Even if only 4 ppl supported banishing it, this would make sense as there is no economic or scientific reason for it. Emeritus Prof. Francois Gervais explains that CO2 causes negligible impact on climate.

Commissioner is clearly living in a different reality

Hardly anyone voted for Doug Ford, oh wait didn’t he won a majority government.

Sure

“Hardly anyone” — does he not know that ford was voted in with a majority? After campaigning on getting rid of cap and trade? Stfu and sit down.

Yeah, yeah, baby, tax us more, baby, tax us harder. We like it more than anything.

except for, like, the majority of voters.

Wrong.

A commissioner who is full of shit.

Hardly anyone reads or cares what the national post says... equilibrium restored

Except the majority of voters in Ontario jackass..

Except for Allllll The people that voted for him . Except those guys right?

Hey Canada 🇨🇦 did you support Doug Ford's decision to scrap cap and trade in Ontario? envirolaw1 cdnpoli

Wow have you already cashed your first liberal_party check. Everyone who voted supported swapping the ponzi scheme

I did.

What a ridiculous statement

2 million voters

justinjournos

Liberals use the carbon tax to hurt the middle class and invest that money in expensive inefficient “Green Energy” Which Canada already kills most countires at

Voter confidence changes constantly, something this current political infrastructure cannot punctuate into actual change of mind

Well 76 seats and 40% of the popular vote supported to scrap it.

Except the voters.

What a pile of horseshit. EVERYONE I know supports the scrap. Then again everyone I know aren't downtown Toronto elitists but hard working parents.

ALL THE REASON TO RESPECT FORD'S DECISION...

Duh! No kidding !

Complete bollocks. He won a landslide election.

Can you say FAKENEWS. I guess the National Post is starting to “pay back” the $595M Trudeau used to payoff the Canadian media.

'Ontario’s environmental commissioner says fewer than one per cent of people who weighed in on the government’s decision to scrap the province’s cap and trade system expressed clear support for the move.' The voters weighed in last June.

This is what happens in an autocracy. Bad/terrible decisions with zero support from both the populous and remaining government representatives, still get passed or approved because the only power is the “dear leader”.

Didn’t he campaign on that?

Except the ppl that voted him

It was a major part of his platform

I doubt that.

Ford Govt cuts fees for University Students ! Activist Response is: Nazi, Misogynist. Your going to hurt the most vulnerable. Ford Govt rraises fees for University Students ! Activist Response is: Nazi, Misogynist. Your going to hurt the most vulnerable. Wash Rinse Repeat

So why was he elected with a huge majority?Sounds like a biased political comment to me...

Did Trudeau appoint this commissioner. Time to get rid of this partisan and utterly blind commissioner.

Lol only every tax paying citizen that voted overwhelmingly for him. No, hardly anyone supported him. 🙄

Doug Ford will destroy Ontario

Wrong- The Citizens Did

Simply not true. The lengths these liberal liars dill go to is scary. Ford ran on that promise and liberals were relegated to minivan status.

Because they do not understand that it is a fraud and tax grab.

Um, 2,322,422 people voted for fordnation 's party in Ontariowe Primary platform issue.

That's not really a good sample to make that assumption.

oh come on. 11000 respondents out of 13 million people more means Hardly anyone responded.. mostly likely because they are HAPPY with it

what a joke of an article. great work NP.

Is the commissioner playing the Bird Box game again? I guess he can't see the millions who voted to scrap the tax.

Poll must have been conducted south of Bloor.

I would say that the winning of the election on a promise to get rid of the scam would say that the to be a lie. McKenna, Butts, Trudeau nd their band of stupids are the ones who want the scam to remain.

Jam a soiled sock in it.

sjefferies73 ?

I did.

Bullshit!!!

Except the voters.

So just like his brother, Dougie listens only to the constituents in his head.

Except the voters!

Jenni Byrne’s redemption story in Doug Ford’s government comes to a disconcerting endThe departure of the principal secretary is a worrying indication of what comes next for Ontario’s government Whatever.

Doug Ford can end ‘hallway medicine’ by letting health-care providers actually competeOpinion: Ontario should implement value-based funding to administer health care, and finally discontinue this flawed system fpcomment No, private medical clinics don’t compete they just collude to fix prices. fpcomment The problem is with the public not understanding what is an ER problem and what is a walk in clinic problem. Stuffy nose, vomiting, Diarrhoea, coughing (unless you injured yourself coughing.) Are all thing you should usually have dealt with by a Doctor or walk in clinic. fpcomment Why not charge an ER user fee of $25.00? This might eliminate the runny nose people
