Ontario's ON FIRE: Who's to Blame? Doug Ford, Climate Change, Glyphosate Or Something Else?
from The Political Orphans · host Nico Lagan
Ontario is burning. 185 wildfires are active right now, and year-to-date fires are already well above both last year and the 10-year average.Toronto's air quality just ranked 5th worst in the world — worse than New Delhi and Lahore, two cities that normally top that list.So what's actually causing this?Doug Ford's government cut the emergency forest firefighting budget by 24% last year — then spent double what they budgeted anyway. Convenient timing for a government now blaming climate change.But there's another angle almost nobody is talking about: glyphosate. Ontario forestry sprays it. So does most of the country. And it dries out exactly the kind of vegetation that turns a forest into fuel.Tonight, I break down the numbers, the budget, and the theories — some call them conspiracies, I call them questions worth asking. You decide what's really going on.💲This show is 100% listener funded. No corporate, government or political money, just you!
