Ontario budget faces criticism over climate preparedness and resilience
Critics say the 200 page Ontario budget barely addresses climate change with two references to a sustainable bond program. They point to extreme heat and wildfires last year and a warmer winter that harmed tourism and remote First Nations. Ontario officials defend funding for green bonds and emergency fire preparedness while opponents urge bold action and proactive resilience measures.
