The provincial Minister of Transportation will introduce legislation that will require municipalities that wish to convert vehicular travel lanes in to bike lane(s), to acquire his permission first - a clear overstep on municipal responsibility.
Fund public transit!
“Ontarians must see these bike lane attacks from what they are: a tool to distract us from the real problems pressing this province,” Shellnutt added in a statement hinting at the RCMP investigation of Ford’s $8.28-billion Greenbelt scandal.
“Even in Toronto, most will recognize that it is the sheer number of cars on the roads … and maybe the baffling number of construction projects that are actually increasing gridlock.” https://t.co/KjLML51ZKb
🚨BREAKING🚨
#Ontario government plans to never get rid of congestion in cities, and restrict freedom of choice by adding red tape to smart infrastructure projects.
This is *bad*. Like *really* bad. It cannot be allowed to happen. @ChandraPasma @JoelHardenONDP
Every AC that's installed is a decarb opportunity lost for 15-20 years.
Check the blue bars. Those need to go. Until we are at 100% heat pump sales, we don't start the 15-20 year clock to electrification.
Many will have furnace backups for a while.
I don't think it's possible anymore to do in the next 5-10 years. Prove me wrong?

Everything I'm seeing in home electrification right now is f*cked.
It's hard to watch.
Simple math: a new home HVAC system today should last until 2039-2044.
We need to be at 100% heat pumps NOW to hit 2050.
No overcomplicated programs, no early adopter focus.
Change ACs to heat pumps. Full stop.
Here's your future, Alberta. Happens over and over. Foreign coal companies don't give a flying f*** about our water or our mountains no matter how many park benches they paint. They'll take all the money and leave the mess with the taxpayer, 1000%.

This is the letter I wrote to Ottawa's mayor urging the city to ban disinformation from Big Oil and Big Tobacco.
These misleading adverts are proliferating on public property and pose a threat to human health.

Ontario used to lead the country in reducing GHG pollution, now we're in last place.
While the world invests billions in clean, safe renewables, our grid is getting dirtier as the govt ramps up fossil gas generation.
We need to join the global energy transition. More fossil gas is taking us in the wrong direction.

For the millionth time, zero is a number. Don't say that you did not attempt to account for the costs of climate change. Be clear in what you did: you set them to zero, @PBO_DPB. And that runs counter to the approach recommended by Treasury Board for analysis of regulations. 1/
@SeanFraserMP I want the people complaining about this to tell me seriously that this street doesn't look like a nice neighborhood.
These are actually low-rise apartments, much bigger than fourplexes and they're still on a green and quiet street.
Warning: the following images of fourplexes may frighten some politicians.
They want to make sure these family homes remain illegal to build.
Maybe my elder millennial is showing, but these homes in great locations look like good options to me!
Good question Marie. My wife and I built a home that runs on electricity. We generate clean and renewable energy from solar panels on our roof. We’re connected to the electric grid so we always have electricity. Heating and cooling is performed by an air-source heat pump, with an electric furnace backup for exceptionally cold days.
We have two vehicles – one of which is fully electric, and a few bikes.
Pierre Poilievre showed up this morning threatened to huff and puff and force a $630 million election. The problem was that he wasn't going to stick around for the vote.
Pierre had to skip town for another fundraiser with the lobbyists.
lol Pierre.
