Ford government has no climate preparedness plan

July 24, 2024

QUEEN'S PARK — Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner released the following statement in response to news that Toronto’s Don Valley Parkway has flooded for a second time in eight days.

“The Ford government has no climate plan, and Ontarians are the ones paying the price.

Liberal and Conservative governments have had decades to prepare for the effects of unsafe weather caused by the climate crisis.

The Ford government’s own reporting has shown that floods like the ones we’ve seen in Toronto are going to become more common as the climate crisis worsens, and the Premier has continued to ignore the evidence at our expense.

The climate crisis isn’t going away. The government needs to invest in climate preparedness to keep Ontarians safe.”
