“As dental professionals we believe that climate change is responsible for tooth decay, and Doug Ford is responsible.”
“As proof that the climate is changing we offer the droughts, floods, heat waves, storms and forest fires that happen around the world. These shouldn’t be happening, or happening with this intensity and frequency.”
"The cause of climate change is the burning of low-cost, reliable fossil fuels. Doug Ford plans to increase the amount of natural gas fired electrical power generation in Ontario, which will contribute to climate change.”
“Relying on our authority as dental
professional, we say that climate change causes tooth decay. Since he is going to increase climate change,
Doug Ford is responsible for tooth decay in your children.”

The Federal government announced its intention to increase immigration to 500,000 new immigrants a year by 2025. I haven’t heard anyone complain about its effect on Canada’s contribution to climate change.
