As an election looms, will climate policy be an issue in Ontario?: Recently the Progressive Conservative government released a climate plan. Actually, they specifically said not to call it a "plan". It's a set of emissions targets and how they plan to hit them. It's not very long and thin on details, and the government's budget didn't add much to it. But does any party in Ontario have a serious climate plan? And with a pandemic, a housing crisis and an inflation spike blowing through household budgets, it's worth asking how big an issue the climate will be in the upcoming election campaign. But what happens to us if it isn't? GUEST: Fatima Syed, Ontario reporter, The Narwhal by The Big Story
