The air over the province is thick with smoke from the wildfires burning in Ontario and across Canada.

This is what climate change looks like in Ontario.

The Ford government isn't listening to the alarm bells as they continue to invest in fossil fuel energy.

Dismantling environmental protections, bulldozing the Greenbelt, attacking local democracy—none of these will solve the housing crisis. Smart, sustainable planning will. We have the solutions. We just need a government willing to implement them. #onpoli
