Guelph City Council has taken a significant step by passing a motion urging the Ontario government to enable municipalities to charge Enbridge for using public lands. Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner praised the decision, emphasizing the need to end the fossil fuel industry’s unregulated access to public resources. He criticized the Ford government’s policies that hinder clean energy initiatives and contribute to rising living costs. The proposed No Free Ride for Fossil Fuels Act aims to redirect funds from fossil fuel companies back to local communities for essential services and affordable housing.
