I’m glad that six years after they cancelled energy efficiency programs, the Ford government is finally listening to Ontario Greens’ call to help people and small businesses save money by saving energy.

It’s unfortunate that people have had to wait six long years for this government to act because home retrofits like heat pumps, solar panels or even just new windows and doors help Ontarians save money every single day.

Given the high cost of living that’s pinching Ontarians across the province, we call on the government to be more ambitious in helping people and small businesses save on energy.

This government spends over $7 billion every year subsidizing electricity bills in a way that disproportionately benefits the wealthiest. Greens would focus these subsidies on low- and middle-income households to provide more funding for retrofit programs so that more people and businesses can save money now and to implement a free heat pump program like the one in PEI.

I want to remind the government that people need affordability relief today. That is why the Ford government needs to inject more ambition into this program in order to get Ontarians maximum savings.

Silence from Sylvia Jones, Doug Ford, Stephen Lecce, Kinga Surma, Paul Calandra and Prabmeet Sarkaria as Tina Yazdan reports that over 11,000 Ontarians died waiting for surgeries, MRIs and CT scans as Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones cutting $21B from Heathcare.

@Solojetset @CTVNews Providing social housing is a provincial responsibility - look up Ontario Housing Corporation. or the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Why do you stay living in #Canada? Is it the longer life expectancy? how corporations can't make political donations? Access to free healthcare? How weed is legal across Canada? Our great public parks? #Canadalove

Doubling the joy today! I'm thrilled that my local friend Danella Olsen joined me to dance together beside majestic, frozen Fish Lake in the Yukon wilderness at -20°C. When joy is multiplied through connection in nature's embrace, it creates a positive ripple effect. Now it's your turn to join the celebration with a hearty double clap!
Happy Holidays! 🎄

Investigation into Enbridge's influence in Ontario for @thenarwhalca & @TheLocal_TO. It shows Enbridge is fighting the inevitable shift away from fossil fuels by doubling down on natural gas at the local level. #climateaction #fossilfools

Ford wants to slightly boost Marit Stiles' official opposition New Democrats, currently in third place, in order to hinder Bonnie Crombie's Liberals. This is why we need to run candidates strstegically & vote strategically. https://t.co/BNvQcMCeZW @OntLiberal @OntarioNDP

[Green Party of Ontario @OntarioGreens]

Our grid is getting dirtier thanks to the Ford government.

They cancelled green energy contracts and ramped up gas plant generation and as a result we're paying more for dirtier power.

The Ford government is a disaster for your wallet and the planet.

Visit https://t.co/rh8iWBMjZU to take part in our call to end Ford's fossil fuel subsidy.

With record profits, the CEO making $18 million in compensation. Should Enbridge be paying local govt to put their pipes on public land?@AMOPolicy

[Mike Schreiner @MikeSchreiner]

This week, Aislinn and I put forward the No Free Ride for Fossil Fuels act which would allow municipalities to charge fossil fuel companies for the public land they use in Ontario.

We're going to keep fighting to get the government out of the pocket of big oil & gas and put Green over Greed.

[Mike Schreiner @MikeSchreiner]

It's clear who the Ford government is working for, and it isn't you.

They continue to put Greed over Green to appease their billionaire land speculators by ramming through Highway 413 that will slice up the Greenbelt and ramp up climate pollution.

How about doing audits of provincial MPP's and their political staff- they might find.. trips to Vegas with developers, hockey games to Miami with developers. #onpoli #efto

[Isaac Callan @isaaccallan]

NEW: Ontario is focusing planned audits of school boards on discretionary spending after a series of trips the minister of education called 'frivolous.'

The plan is not finalized and it's unclear if QP or school boards will pay costs of audits. #Onpoli

All signs point to @fordnation calling an early election.

In every election there is a ballot question.

The ballot question in the next election will be…

Is your health care better than it was 6 years ago?

Can you find a family doctor?

Are you waiting longer?…

Because people are not stupid. They know that Highway 413 would be just another way for @fordnation to shovel our money to billionaire sprawl developers: Greenbelt issue a barrier to support for speeding up infrastructure. https://t.co/jwGnBff4IJ #onpoli #stopthe413

[Isaac Callan @isaaccallan]

Ontario’s latest housing bill was supposed to be a major moment in the government’s increasingly difficult fight to build 1.5 million homes. Then it got delayed and cut.

This is how the Ford government watered down Paul Calandra’s housing law. #Onpoli
