The Ontario government just introduced a new housing bill that tramples on climate policies and local democracy.
Fifteen cities across Ontario use Green Development Standards to make homes more resilient to climate change, less polluting, and more affordable to heat and cool.
Now, Doug Ford is trying to kill these local green building rules.
This Bill will benefit Enbridge Gas, which wants to build more pipelines and hook up more homes to polluting gas. The Bill will also allow developers to cut a few corners and avoid adopting modern building practices.
For the rest of us, it’s bad news.
