Emma Teitel: Ford’s win is the city’s loss in curbing climate change

, despite the fact that on any given day the premier takes a colossal thrashing online at the thumbs of nurses, teachers, infectious disease doctors, high school students, myself — the list goes on.

In other words, though the election wasn’t a referendum on the pandemic, it was in one sense a referendum on a far scarier crisis: climate change. Do we care about it enough to not elect the government that cares about it the least? The answer, unfortunately, is no. According to a city report on its net zero strategy, “Approximately 36 per cent of emissions come from transportation, with almost all of this coming from burning gasoline in our personal cars.”

Now, unless I’m missing something and Doug Ford recently bought a Prius, it seems unlikely that a provincial leader who touts a new highway as a means to reduce congestion is going to be the ideal partner in the city’s net zero venture.

Blah blah blah. More Liberal Star BS.

Climate change is a hoax invented by Marxists.

A city alone will do nothing for climate change, a country itself will do nothing for climate change.

The whining, crying from biased Liberal rag 'The Toronto Star' has stared!

How many voters have decided that we’re already at the point of no return when it comes to climate change?

Cdn media included Toronto Star promoted Doug Ford so you get what you voted for. People can’t complain now as Ford landed a landslide with only 40% voted.

And NOW you talk about it? I guess now that the campaign is over (and with your Conservative owners' permission) you can go to back to pretending to be concerned about Ford's governing and not during the campaign when it mattered the most.

Lots of tears at the Red Star last night

Great leap of junk-logic here of blaming fordnation after only 4 years in power for the past 100+ years while dealing with pandemic, massive immigration & expansion in a huge ever growing congested overpopulated city.

Ford’s win is proof we’re not drinking the global warming Kool Aid like you are Emma.

People vilify those on assistance. They want them to suffer, to remain in poverty. They don't want to give them a chance to improve their situation. How totally unlike Trudeau Ontario and its media is...

And helping people in poverty and in having an earth or farmland...or giving free healthcare to those suffering...

Shut up. Climate change isn’t Ontarians priority.

Climate change isn't real. Why do you post this shit?

We already are way past net zero. Canada absorbs more C02 then we emit.

Ford has governed centre. How is burning down the world?

No one gives a damn about climate change, people would rather focus on their own business. Who cares about the future of Earth? I'd be dead for million years when humans finally screwed

Give up the climate change, they them people kind rhetoric. Plastic straws didn’t end it?!?! Al Gore became a billionaire from global warming and California still hasn’t sunk. Be more worried about nuclear war

The People of Ontario disagree.

Rex Murphy: Latest act of green fanaticism really takes the cakeHow did throwing confectionary at the Mona Lisa raise awareness about climate change? These are the people driving an SUV to a climate march and leaving a trail of garbage behind them both there and back. That was a stupid stunt, but Rex Murphy is still irrelevant. One nut bar. How is this even a news story?
