The Ontario Greens Leader, Mike Schreiner, criticized the Ford government’s recent passage of bill 165, claiming it prioritizes the interests of fossil fuel giant Enbridge over the well-being of everyday Ontarians. He highlighted the contradiction of this move as wildfire smoke from Alberta and British Columbia envelops southern Ontario, calling it a disgraceful decision that locks residents into costly fossil gas dependency. Schreiner urged the government to respect the Ontario Energy Board’s independent decision aimed at consumer protection and to repeal the legislation that subsidizes fossil fuel interests at the expense of ratepayers.
