The IESO just struck out ⚾ ❌ — doubling down on polluting gas & overpriced nuclear instead of clean, affordable renewables.

Toronto can do better.

Wind and solar – not nuclear – is how we can lower rates.

Carney’s ‘elbows up’ promise to defend Canadian sovereignty seems to have gone up in smoke.

Surely he didn’t mean elbows up and…to the right, right?

Ontario’s old oil & gas wells are more than a legacy issue — they’re a growing danger and cost burden.
