I don't want to be part of a generation that saved a few cents on gasoline to leave our kids an unliveable planet. I don't want to be part of a generation that was too lazy to have my vehicle emissions checked every few years. I want there to be an Ontario worth discovering.

3 yrs ago 6 of 10 premiers were women. Not one made it through to being reelected. We've never reelected a woman premier/pm. I saw up close the way we treat women once they are established leading a gov't & I'd suggest we need to reflect on how we frame women in those roles

This will truly go down as the Scheer, Ford & Kenny economic suicide pact. Building Canada's economy on expectations of a mythical oil future is like opening a shop to sell land line phones. We are well in to a transition to a new energy & technology platform.

This is not true. First off, inaction is way more expensive. Climate change will undermine our food & water security. It will blow the family budget to pieces. Secondly, the federal government gives all the carbon tax revenue back to taxpayers in a rebate check.
The federal carbon tax will cost the typical household about $650 each year by 2022. That's less take home pay, money that could go to a mortgage, pay bills or take your family on a vacation. We’ll keep fighting this terrible tax with every single tool at our disposal.
