Ford’s new Housing bill attacking local green building standards would pave the way for additional gas pipelines and hookups, locking people into using polluting gas furnaces and boilers for years to come. 🚨

Green building standards mean safer homes and lower monthly heating and cooling bills.

Doug Ford is rolling out the red carpet for fossil fuel giant Enbridge Gas. 🤑

🛢️Enbridge already supplies gas to most of Ontario residents for home heating — and it wants even more customers.

More gas users means more profits.

Big oil profits as Iran ceasefire offers no relief for businesses and consumers High oil prices since the start of the Iran war are set to deliver a multi-billion-dollar windfall for Canada and its oil companies – but the impact on other businesses and consumers threatens to destabilize a tariff-embattled economy.

Only #BigOil & Gas in Canada benefits from war in the Middle East - everyone else from small businesses, to consumers, to farmers and even other industrial sectors lose.

THIS is why hitching our future on more oil and gas doesn't make any sense.
