Premier Doug Ford is dismissing federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault as “a real piece of work” over his claim Ontario has no plan to fight climate change.
In a rare display of tension between Queen’s Park and Ottawa, Ford blasted Guilbeault on Thursday over the federal minister’s criticism of the province’s opposition to carbon pricing.“I find it ironic. We want to do EV vehicles and we have a great relationship with the federal government,” Ford said, referring to joint federal-provincial initiatives on projects like the Volkswagen battery factory in St. Thomas.— because they’re great to work with,” he said.
“We’re building the largest transit system in North America to get people out of their cars and get them onto the transit system,” he added. On Wednesday in Ottawa, Guilbeault attacked Ford for saying federal carbon-pricing policies were hurting families.
