New figures show Ontario's greenhouse gas emissions have jumped back to pre-Ford government levels, with 2022 emissions up 5.7% from 2020's pandemic-induced drop.
Gideon Forman expresses worry over Ontario's increasing emissions, highlighting that they are moving in the wrong direction from the emission reduction agenda.
Ontario's current emissions are close to 2017 levels when the cap and trade program, a previous emissions reduction initiative, was in place and subsequently scrapped by Ford's government.
Forman warns that if Ontario continues its current emission trajectory, achieving the 2030 reduction target of 144 megatonnes will be challenging.
