There's a big hole in Toronto's Climate Plan.
A policy that would tackle the biggest source of pollution and make our homes safer is at risk of being shelved this week 😨
We can prevent that from happening by speaking up right now!

Why is the media consistently saying "energy," when they actually mean "oil and gas"?
"Alberta energy deal" rather than "Alberta oil and gas deal" etc.
This is obfuscation.
It serves to present these agreements as beneficial to all, rather than specifically beneficial to the oil and gas industry.
