Ahsanul Hafiz (Liberal) and Mark Bekkering (Green), candidates in the Scarborough-Southwest provincial by-election, are calling on Ontario to triple its renewable energy by 2050 to lower electricity bills and reduce climate-damaging pollution.
Fatima Shaban (NDP) supports “a substantial expansion of renewable, reliable, and affordable clean energy towards the goal of decarbonizing the Ontario economy by 2050.”
