Ontario party leaders talk climate plans in aftermath of weekend storm

New Democrat Leader Andrea Horwath and Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca focused on long-term climate solutions while Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford touted electric vehicles and clean steel as key ways forward.

Ford also touted his party's plans to build subways and highways in an effort to alleviate traffic congestion. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said her party, if elected, would fix the disaster relief program to get money to affected residents quicker after a severe weather event. New Democrats also have plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, she said.“It's really just obvious he was a crusader against the environment for the entire time he was in office,” she during a virtual press conference.

“We specifically set aside on our sustainability plan to deal with climate resilience to support conservation authorities or municipalities or both,” Del Duca said at a campaign stop in Toronto. Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner has touted a long list of environmental initiatives, including halving climate pollution by 2030, protecting 30 per cent of lands and water by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2045.

Who cares about climate change, focus on more important things for Canada. Let China worry about the climate issue as they are the ones killing the earth.

You now canada is second with the most tornadoes. So what is the big deal with the storm that we had.

Makes sense…

This guy will promise anything OntLiberal he thinks Ontarians forget the KathleenWyne StevenDelDuca corruption liplessdelduca

All the climate warriors should get rid of their cars and use only public transit. Also get rid of anything they use which is oil based and save the climate.

🤗 You guys put a real nice picture of Blue Sky, are they promising Haven Today😂 🤗 Just a question...🙏

To the people who believe in man made climate change you are a 🤡

Yes because the world has never seen a storm like this before. My gosh. Get on it quick.

Who cares about climate when we’ll all be homeless and starving soon.

Too many reporters give Doug Ford DoFo a free pass by not asking why he hasn't given any commitments on accessibility for 2.6 million Ontarians with disabilities Only a few media cover it, led by TVO's Steve Paikin OntarioElection

I remember a storm on the long weekend almost 30 years ago like the one we had. Nobody blamed climate change for that.

Ford “build more highways”

LOL yes the 5 minute thunderstorm we had was all our fault.... this guy actually seems like an o.k. dude just another out of touch dilutional liberal

Didn't Doug say that building highways will help with that? Someone give the man the Nobel prize

Climate cannot be fixed as fast as housing affordability.
