Ontario Ministries being muzzled from mentioning Climate Change on social media

Not you too, Canada! You're supposed to be the version the United States is supposed to aspire to!
It's Ontario - I'm so embarrassed Doug Ford won the election. This guy and his regressive 'policies' and bullying, ugh.
All it takes is one bad election--like we've seen in the states.

Also when Doug Ford's conservative government came in power, the 'Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change Resources' changed to 'Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks'.
They want free license to destroy the planet and profit from it. Environmental protection safeguards prevent that from happening.
Kathleen Wynne was effectively our Barack Obama... a lesbian drove the rural communities into a tizzy and now the fat cat right-wing cronies are looking to profit from it.
Sometimes I wish a place of eternal suffering like hell exists after we die so these fuckers can pay for their greediness.
Goddamnit. Canada was supposed to be our escape route when things go 100% to shit here.
Wait, maybe this is how they get us to stay away. Very clever, Canada.

Only 1 brewery seems to be on board,
and it's down from $1.25...
So for .25 cents in savings for crappy beer,
some voted for this moron.
It's Ontario, a province in Canada, not all of Canada.
A province is sorta like a state.
If Bernier gets his new right wing party off the ground in time for the upcoming election,
it will split the right leaning votes.
Conservatives and right-wingers will ensure damage from climate change will be maximum. I know this is just about social media but it has effects, and to a larger point these troglodytes and their efforts to divert or remove resources and efforts to combat climate change will contribute to more people and animals dying and being displaced, more damage to environments and ecology and it will hurt us more financially as well.
These people are so fucking idiotic they are dangerous to the planet. Don't ever fucking tell me these are just fellow Americans/Canadians with a "different point of view." They are enemies.

Yep.
It's honestly not over exaggerating to say that these people are far FAR more damaging to society and the world than terrorists.
Good going Canada. I thought you were supposed to be the better example for North America. I guess you can join us down here in bad decision making and global representation.
Conservatives: It's wrong to silence right-wing conspiracy theories on social media.
Also conservatives: Posting science that is financially inconvenient on social media is a fireable offense.

Harper's administration did the same shit. Conservatives don't like truth when it interferes with profits. If the Earth is fucked in the process oh well, they won't be alive for it to matter to them.
Well these idiots have already changed their tune from "climate change doesn't exist" to "climate change exists but it's not man made".
There is no point in arguing with these people.
Ah yes, the "volcanos put more stuff into the atmosphere than people ever could, so it could never be caused by people" and "climate change is good because plants need CO2 so it actually helps the planet" rationalizations. Because admitting it's a problem means liberals are right about something
Ontario does not represent all Canada.
Canada is not just a single blob, despite how it is usually portrayed in American media.
This is incredibly frustrating... why are politicians the beacon of news, why are so many people stupified by these idiots and ignore actual experts like scientists?
This should NEVER be allowed, and more and more people keep being fooled by these populism platforms.

It's like the plague of this ignorance has migrated north. I hope the rest of Canada will not be impacted.
Just wait till it happens on the federal level, despite Bernier
I mean, it's beyond even that now. Their corporate benefactors are finally starting to realize that they have to face the music and that climate change is a very real problem that they'll have to deal with or suffer consequences. But at this point, climate change denial has morphed into a dogma of conservative ideology rather than just being a tool for unhinged profiteering.
Harper was muzzling scientists long before Trump. It's par for the course for Conservatives in this country.
Unlike Red states, even Ontario with Doug Ford still has an electorate that's heavily left leaning. The problem is that unlike the two party system you guys have, there are multiple parties in play. The left and centre left have the Liberals, the NDP, and the Greens to choose from, and the right have the Conservative party. In an election system that rewards ridings wholesale to whoever has the most individual share of the votes, you can see how a guy like Doug Ford can be opposed by 60% of the electorate and still end up winning.
