Doug Ford’s budget cut $42 million from Ontario’s wildland firefighting budget, meanwhile climate-fueled wildfires force evacuations across the province, blanketing communities in toxic smoke.

He slashed emergency preparedness funding. He’s ramping up gas plants. And he’s ignoring the climate crisis while Ontarians face the consequences.

Ontario’s firefighters are being left without the support they need.

The Ontario Greens are calling for immediate action:

• Restore wildfire and emergency preparedness funding
• Invest in clean, renewable energy
• Repeal Bill 5 and strengthen environmental protections
• Invest in climate preparedness solutions that keep people safe

We can’t afford to wait. Ford’s reckless climate denial is putting lives at risk.
