Ontario's budget faces criticism for lacking direct climate change measures, despite investments in public transit, EVs, and conservation.
Ontario's budget has been criticized for not directly addressing climate change, seen as a "gross abdication of responsibility" by some critics who argue the province needs to do more to adapt to a changing climate. Despite citing investments in climate-friendly public transit, electric vehicle manufacturing, and conservation, the budget has been deemed mostly silent on specific measures to help communities mitigate climate change effects and adapt to its realities, with only two references to climate change. Critics say many tools needed to combat the climate crisis are in the provincial toolbox.
