The cost of inaction on our climate is going to be massive and we need to elect a government that will make fighting climate change a priority. Our health is being threatened by bad air quality, communities are being flooded, Ontario’s natural plant and animal species are being threatened and Ontarians are going to have to pay. The National Roundtable on the Environment and Economy says that if we don’t do anything to cut emissions, climate change costs could rise from $5 billion/year in 2020 to $43 billion/year in 2050. Today, we can seize our moment to elect a government that will protect our environment and save our kids money through embracing new opportunities like investing in renewable energy.

The debate over American health care helped show us how lucky we are to have had Premiers and citizens who fought to make sure everyone in our province has access to top-notch health services. We can vote to protect our health system and that means electing a government that is committed to protecting our right to universal public health care.

People worldwide fight tirelessly to get and preserve democracy in their countries and that means fighting for the right to vote in fair elections. Today let’s exercise our right to vote and make sure we get a government that best reflects our needs. Information on where to vote can be found at this link.
