Mark Carney’s first budget quietly provided Canada with the ingredients for something the country has lacked for a century: a truly national electricity backbone. An East-West renewable energy grid. #cdnpoli #onpoli #climate #Budget2025 cleantechnica.com/2025/11/08/a...

Local hydro bills get 29% larger starting this month, though most of that will be hidden in the taxpayer-financed Ontario Electricity Rebate. We all pay through the teeth for these high-cost US reactors & fuel that Doug Ford insists on importing. #onpoli www.pressreader.com/canada/the-w...

The price of electricity in Ontario just jumped 29%, but it's hidden in the tax base. #FordNation 's high cost nuclear + gas plan will cost taxpayers an additional $2 B/yr, on top of the $6.5 B the province already pays to reduce the cost of power. #onpoli www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

On Nov. 1, electricity generation costs for residential consumers in Ontario surged 29%. Doug Ford buried much of this increase on your electricity bill by increasing the Electricity Rebate (OER) from 13.1% to 23.5%. Taxpayers foot the bill again. #onpoli www.manitoulin.com/hydro-one-ra...

Almost no new climate spending. More cuts to climate-related programs. Misses the opportunity to supercharge the smart energy transition while doubling down on dirty oil and gas. #climate #budget #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/04/n...

⚠️ The Independent Electricity System Operator’s latest plan for #Toronto? A swing and a miss. It ignores Toronto’s climate goals, doubles down on costly reactors & gas, & will lead to higher bills & more pollution. Time for a #renewableenergy lineup. #onpoli 👉 Read our bulletin: shorturl.at/2gczE

The IESO just struck out ⚾ ❌ — doubling down on polluting gas & overpriced nuclear instead of clean, affordable renewables. Toronto can do better. Tell City Council: go #renewable NOW! 🌞 🌬️ #onpoli #topoli www.cleanairalliance.org/win/

⚡💰 #Ontario ’s hydro rates just rose — & #DougFord 's government is hiding it behind taxpayer-funded subsidies. We’re paying more on our bills and in taxes to prop up costly nuclear + gas: shorturl.at/MgYsh Time to invest in #renewable #wind, #solar + storage instead! #onpoli

Starting this month, parking lots in South Korea with more than 80 spaces will be required to install #solar canopies and carports. Another great idea that we should be doing here in Toronto to replace the dirty Portlands gas plant. #onpoli #climate #topoli electrek.co/2025/11/02/n...

Electricity rates for Ontarians increased today by 29% though will be partly offset by a higher provincial rebate. We responded: “This massive subsidy disguises the real cost of keeping the lights on with expensive nuclear reactors.” #onpoli #fordnation www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

💀 #Toronto’s real house of horrors? The Portlands gas plant 😱 City Council asked for a phase-out plan by 2035 — but #Ontario ’s grid planners brought back a horror sequel: more gas, more costly U.S. nuclear, & no escape from pollution! Take Action: shorturl.at/m4qEe #onpoli #climatenews

A gas-fired power plant in the heart of a planned “net-zero” #Toronto neighbourhood? 🤔 The Portlands Energy Centre’s expansion casts a spotlight on policy contradictions — & the health impacts on local residents: shorturl.at/jjEKo #onpoli (original article is in french, translated via link)

“Instead of investing in lower-cost #wind & #solar, the government is doubling down on expensive US-designed reactors. This increase is being hidden by a massive taxpayer subsidy. It is the most expensive way to pretend rates are affordable.” - Jack Gibbons, OCAA Chair shorturl.at/eXVlF #onpoli

This October 31st at Midnight #Ontario families face a SCARY 29% surge in power-generation costs — haunted by our dependence on expensive U.S. nuclear. #DougFord’s “fix”? Use our tax dollars to mask it. 👹 Learn more & take action: shorturl.at/TzWza #onpoli #ontarionews

#Toronto councillors are pledging to phase out the gas-fired Portlands Energy Centre by 2035 to align with the city’s 2040 #netzero goal — but the province’s grid operator sees fossil generation still needed. Delay = COST. 😬💰 🔗 Read more: shorturl.at/pTorv #onpoli

Residential electricity generation rates to rise by 29%! Wind and solar – not nuclear – is how we can lower rates. #onpoli www.cleanairalliance.org/rates/

Even little 🐾 Pfeiffer showed up at our rally to vote for #renewables! She gave her loudest "awoohs!" for #Wind 💨 #Solar ☀️ & #Storage 🔋 Because #Toronto deserves better 💙 #topoli #onpoli #onclimate

Power to the people (literally)! ⚡💪 At Tuesday's rally, we made it clear: #Ontario NEEDS (& wants!) #renewable, affordable, local energy. ❌ NO more gas. NO more billion-dollar U.S. nuclear deals. ❌ Didn't have a chance to stand with us in person? 📢 ADD YOUR VOICE 📢 , here: shorturl.at/mglo7

Ford’s record expansion of private for-profit nuclear power will drive rates up - public risk, private profit. #onpoli #fordnation rabble.ca/environment/...

Tell PM Carney to build a modern east-west electricity grid powered by low-cost renewable energy – wind, water, solar and storage – not nuclear. #cdnpoli #onpoli www.cleanairalliance.org/carney-wrong/

The Carney gov't commits to spend more billions on nuclear projects that are 2-8 x more expensive than wind and solar. All Canadians will pay the bill for these bad choices. And the climate will get short shifted. #cdnpoli #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Hey Toronto - what do you want to see for Toronto - more nuclear and gas OR more renewables and conservation? Tell Council and the ON Gov't on Tues. Join us with your signs, your voices, and your love for the future. #topoli #onpoli Find out more: www.cleanairalliance.org/how-much-lon...

The IESO needs to rethink its plans for Toronto: phase-out the Portlands gas plant and invest in energy efficiency, renewables and storage. #onpoli #topoli www.cleanairalliance.org/irrp/

The Ontario gov't pushed forward TC Energy’s proposal to build a large pumped storage project on Georgian Bay, despite expert advice it would be costly and not meet the province’s current energy needs. Battery storage would be much lower cost. #onpoli thenarwhal.ca/tc-energy-pu...

We made it onto CBC's The National tonight. $21 B for 4 US SMRs that will require US fuel - or... "We've got much wind and solar, battery storage, energy efficiency. All much much lower cost. And they're much quicker." #cdnpoli #onpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB1U...

Pouring a $50 bottle of scotch on the ground is a greeeeat photo-op 🙄 , but what would REALLY help #Ontario manufactuers is low cost power. New U.S. dependent nuclear can't deliver that. CANADIAN #Solar, #wind & storage can. #onpoli

While #DougFord was at Home Depot, he should have taken a look at the cost of #solar panels! Putting those on big box store roofs and parking lots is going to help retailers a lot more than "Officer Doug". #onpoli

Doug Ford gets tired of being the tough guy in home depot parking lot. Decides to go after polar bears instead. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#Ontario gave TC Energy $285 M for a pumped-storage project even after #IESO warned it’s too costly, too slow & won’t meet near-term needs 🔗 shorturl.at/Hc6zB Sound familiar? #DougFord 's nuclear plans have the same flaws. ⚡
