Just before the 2022 provincial election, Doug Ford said five words Ontarians hadn’t heard often during his first term.“I believe in climate change,” he told reporters in May, days after a deadly derecho storm left hundreds of thousands of homes without power. “And we’re doing everything to prevent it by building electric vehicles, having investment into the battery plants.” The premier’s second term has yet to see any increase in electric vehicle production, while promised investments haven’t resulted in operational battery plants so far. Instead, the Progressive Conservatives’ current tenure has been defined by battles over land use, as the government opens up protected land and weakens environmental oversight to ease development, while conservationists, cities and citizens push back against losing farmland, wetlands and wildlife habitat. Despite intense opposition, the government made its omnibus land use bill, the More Homes Built Faster Act or Bill 23, law in late November. That was followed by regulation making its Greenbelt changes official in mid-December: it outlines how 15 separate parcels of land totalling 7,400 acres, including part of the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Reserve, will be removed from the Greenbelt.

Standing in the start house on top of the Panorama course, the race leader could hear exactly how well her competitors were doing.”You can hear the [finish area] announcer on the top, she’s announcing in English, so it’s really getting into my head,” Shiffrin said after the race.

With its latest leak of nearly 600,000 gallons in northern Kansas, the sprawling Keystone pipeline system has now spilled more crude oil in the United States than any other pipeline, according to a new analysis by Bloomberg.Including last week’s spillage of roughly 14,000 barrels of crude — a threat to the environment, drinking water, and public health — the pipeline system that runs from Alberta, Canada to Texas has leaked 26,000 barrels of the toxic substance in the U.S. over the past 12 years, Bloomberg noted Monday, citing preliminary data from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.“While Keystone is the largest spiller of crude oil since 2010, the refined fuel pipeline Colonial Pipeline’s Line 1 has spilled more liquid hydrocarbons than Keystone,” the outlet reported.
