80 Toronto election candidates have signed the Renewables-Ready Toronto Pledge! It calls for more local solar, battery storage and a phase-out of Portlands gas power by 2035. See where candidates stand on clean energy & GO VOTE!! shrlnk.ca/s/GQLmeWRV

A new BBC analysis shows solar produced 13% more electricity than nuclear over the past 12 months. Solar is growing even faster than experts predicted, driven by falling costs and expanding battery storage. Time for #Ontario should take note! 🌞 #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/PTVFZzEb

Ford threatens to cut electricity exports to the U.S. And now, Ontario is contracting 600 MW of American generating capacity while cutting its electricity rebate from 23.5% to 15.7%. 🤔 Our Chair, Jack Gibbons, calls out the irony. shrlnk.ca/s/biyUnbY2

🇨🇦 Captain Canada? More like Captain Buy America. Doug Ford talks tough on the U.S. while pursuing American electricity, nuclear and gas. Help us expose the charade. Donations matched up to $30,000. #elbowsup #buycanadian #ontario www.cleanairalliance.org/captain-cana...

☀️ A 70-year-old building at Saint Mary's University now generates #solarpower! Its new roof and solar panels will save at least $28,000/year in energy costs. Imagine if #Ontario universities put their rooftops to work, too! shrlnk.ca/s/xP77Qgot

Ford’s office is declining any comment, following news that Ontario just contracted for 600 MW of dirty electricity from the U.S. Remember Ford's public threats to cut off Ontario electricity to the U.S.? Tough talk, no action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=deF7... #onpoli #elbowsup

OPG’s price of nuclear electricity is set to rise by 60% next yr to 20 cents/kWh. Earlier this yr, Ontario purchased NEW wind & solar energy for only 8.9 cents/kWh. By tripling renewables, we can lower bills and reduce our dependence on American energy imports. shrlnk.ca/s/qcgPGg9g #onpoli

So much for elbows up! Today's @thestar.com exposes Doug Ford's hypocrisy - while talking tough about cutting off electricity exports to the U.S., he has contracted to import dirty American electricity, making us more vulnerable to hostile actions by Trump. #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/xG5TTI0J

The Carney gov't wants to declare the Deep Geological Repository, a burial and abandonment project for all of Canada's high level nuclear fuel waste, a “Project of National Interest”, thereby bypassing any impact assessments of health and safety. #cdnpoli #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/uF2sKlSV

Ford’s “brilliant” comeback to U.S. trade action? Buy dirty electricity from an oil-burning New York plant instead of Ontario's cleaner options. Are we winning yet? shrlnk.ca/s/lXuyqJxT @billmckibben.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @governor.ny.gov @nytimes.com #Oswego #onpoli

🇨🇦 A Canadian company just installed 76 offshore wind turbines in Poland, enough to power 1.5M+ homes once operational. Meanwhile, Ontario still bans offshore wind in the Great Lakes. We have the wind AND the expertise. Let's use them! 🌬️ shrlnk.ca/s/HLDrBFut

☀️ Four #FirstNations are teaming up to build an 8.5 MW solar farm in northern #Ontario! 100% #Indigenous-owned, the project could create jobs, power a local mine and avoid 4,900 tonnes of CO₂ annually. Renewable energy AND community opportunity. 💚 shrlnk.ca/s/Vafik6rA

☀️ Solar power you can plug into a wall? It's already happening! Small balcony-friendly 3solar panels are helping renters & homeowners generate their own electricity AND lower their bills. Germany has over 1 million systems! Why not #Ontario? 👀 shrlnk.ca/s/gkXbtfJF

☢️ Where will Canada’s nuclear waste go, and who gets a say? Join We the Nuclear Free North for a webinar on efforts to change how major nuclear projects are reviewed. 📅 Oct. 8 ⏰ 7 p.m. ET These decisions are moving fast. Get informed + involved. 🔗 shrlnk.ca/s/QZUjaoOG

Where do Toronto's leading mayoral candidates stand on solar and wind energy? Which candidate will lead our city toward a bright renewable energy future? We asked them. www.cleanairalliance.org/to-candidates/ #topoli #onpoli

🧡 Reconciliation can't end on Sept. 30. On Oct. 1, Canada designated a major oil pipeline a Project of National Interest. Keepers of the Water says Indigenous rights, lands + waters must be respected. Reconciliation can't be symbolic. shrlnk.ca/s/VMBdOhgT

☀️ Solar has officially overtaken nuclear. In 2025: ☀️ Solar: +510 GW 🌬️ Wind: +159 GW ☢️ Nuclear: +1.5 GW Solar also generated more electricity globally than nuclear for the first time. The energy transition isn't waiting around. shrlnk.ca/s/flW8XLIG

Nuclear projects including uranium mining, reactors, & waste impinge on traditional Indigenous lands. We're grateful for the life-affirming values and spiritual guidance provided by Indigenous wisdom posted here: www.ccnr.org/index.html#ind #TruthAndReconciliation #OrangeShirtDay

Six Meaford election candidates oppose TC Energy’s proposed pumped storage project. Even the IESO says it does not compare favourably with available alternatives. See where the candidates stand: www.cleanairalliance.org/meaford-elec... #Meaford #OntarioElection

☀️🌬️ 80.4% #renewable power. Australia just set a new record for #solar + #wind on its main grid. Even better? Rooftop solar alone supplied more than HALF of electricity demand for a period. #Ontario, take notes. shrlnk.ca/s/DhTBsyhc

#Ontario spent nearly $6.9B last year keeping electricity bills down. If affordability is the goal, why keep betting billions on costly new nuclear? Let’s lower the actual cost of power with efficiency + lower-cost #renewables. #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/TopD4edE

🌎 What happened to Mark Carney the climate champion? After years of warning about climate risk, Whitmore + Pineau say Carney is now accelerating fossil fuel development. Canada should be accelerating renewables instead. Read the English translation: shrlnk.ca/s/tFmX7pgE

UofT can walk its talk on sustainability by rapidly expanding on-site solar power generation. It's time to develop a plan to make solar shine across the university’s three campuses. #topoli #toronto #uoft www.cleanairalliance.org/uoft-solarsu...

☢️ RIP SMRs? After a decade of hype, many SMRs proposed for Canada have lost proponents, private backing or been abandoned. Meanwhile, Ontario is betting billions on one at Darlington. Time to give lower-cost renewables a fair shot. 🌬️☀️ shrlnk.ca/s/ESePTuMh

Affordable #renewable electricity is becoming one of the BIGGEST economic advantages a country can have. The costs of renewables, batteries + electric technologies keep falling. #Ontario should be racing to take advantage of this shift. ☀️🌬️🔋 shrlnk.ca/s/K4vPJ9pg

☢️ Burying Canada’s nuclear waste is not something to fast-track. Ottawa may designate NWMO’s nuclear waste repository a “Project of National Interest.” Nuclear Free North says it deserves full, independent scrutiny. Comments close Oct. 26. shrlnk.ca/s/peCkhyI9

Pickering’s reactors were state-of-the-art when this TV was. Now Ontario plans to spend $26.8B rebuilding them, even as cheaper wind, solar and storage sweep the world. Nostalgia isn’t an energy strategy. Tell Ontario to #triplerenewables www.cleanairalliance.org/nostalgia/ #onpoli

☢️ Point Lepreau is offline for the 2nd time in two weeks, this time after a heavy-water leak. When one big reactor goes down, a lot of power disappears at once. Another reason to build a more diverse grid with wind, solar + storage. ☀️🌬️🔋 shrlnk.ca/s/s7mjbBgv

🐟☢️ Millions of fish overwhelmed Bruce Nuclear’s cooling system, shutting down one reactor and reducing another. Bruce Power said the event “challenged reactor safety.” As our climate changes, Ontario needs a more diverse, flexible power system. shrlnk.ca/s/10UOU8nO

We know what we can build at scale, right now. #Solar. #Wind. #Batteries. Bill McKibben says we could DOUBLE or TRIPLE global solar deployment, alongside wind + storage. Missing 1.5°C isn't a reason to give up... It's a reason to move FASTER. shrlnk.ca/s/glnNY9Xg

🇨🇦 Ontario imports virtually all its gas, with roughly 2/3 coming from the U.S. 😒 Want to make #Ontario less vulnerable to Trump? Cut our reliance on imported gas and build more Ontario wind, solar, storage + efficiency. Let’s make our power our own. ⚡ shrlnk.ca/s/6e4ALlfe

Even the Ford government acknowledges wind, solar + batteries have “shorter development timelines.” So why bet Ontario’s energy future on enormously expensive nuclear projects that can take decades? Let’s give cheaper, faster renewables a fair shot. shrlnk.ca/s/XldKyPt8

☀️ Solar panels cost $5-$6/watt around 2000. Today? Around 12 cents/watt. The FT calls solar “offensively cheap.” Meanwhile, Ontario is planning enormously expensive new nuclear. Let’s give cheaper, faster renewables a fair shot. shrlnk.ca/s/QdTLdbI3

🌬️☀️ Quite the turnaround in rural Alberta: Oil & gas once provided 55% of Vulcan County’s tax base. Today, 55% of every dollar the county spends comes from wind + solar. Meanwhile, fossil fuel operations owe the county $13M+ in unpaid taxes... 😒 shrlnk.ca/s/pNVtYWPr #climatenews

🇨🇦 63% of Ontario’s gas came through the U.S. in 2025. Electrification can change that. But what powers it matters. Let’s replace imported gas with #Ontario #wind, #solar + storage, not deepen our dependence on U.S. nuclear technology & fuel. ☀️🌬️🔋 shrlnk.ca/s/eg9XuvSm

Canada has already warmed by 2°C. On our current path, that could reach 5°C by 2100. But the worst impacts are NOT inevitable. The solution starts with cutting fossil fuel use and accelerating renewables, efficiency + electrification. ☀️🌬️⚡ shrlnk.ca/s/JvtzfUZ5

#Canada needs a LOT more electricity. Adamant says the answer is to triple clean power with #wind, #solar, geothermal + batteries, not sink billions into slow, expensive new nuclear. 🌬️ Wind costs ↓ 70% since 2010 ☀️ Solar ↓ 90% Follow the money. shrlnk.ca/s/lAvXF8vf

Another day, another breakdown. Who said nuclear was reliable? The Lepreau nuclear station in New Brunswick was down 26% of the time in the last decade. That costs consumers a million bucks per day. #triplerenewables #nbpoli shrlnk.ca/s/ol4KmsWq

First Google. Now Apple. 🍎 Trump's “Lake America” stunt keeps spreading 🙄 Ontario can send a much stronger message than putting up a sign: lift the offshore wind ban and put our lake to work producing our own renewable power. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/fF23HE0a

🚗🔋 What if millions of EVs could help power the grid? Quebec technology is helping turn EV batteries into mobile energy storage, allowing them to store electricity and send it back when demand is high. A smarter, more flexible grid. shrlnk.ca/s/3jSXrQAx

While Trump attacks wind power, Europe is building more of it. Europe added 8.8 GW of wind in the first half of 2026, up nearly 33%. #Ontario should join the #renewablerevolution & put our Great Lakes winds to work. 🇨🇦 shrlnk.ca/s/yHmM4YIw

#GoogleMaps now calls #LakeONTARIO “Lake America” for U.S. users... 🙄 Doug Ford...put up a sign... How about a stronger response? Lift Ontario’s offshore wind ban & reduce our dependence on American energy. shrlnk.ca/s/GEKaAElF

Thanks to Niagara At Large for sharing our call to put #LakeONTARIO ’s enormous renewable energy potential to work: shrlnk.ca/s/aValfo9L #onpoli #cdnpoli

🇨🇦 #Canada can’t be a #climate leader while expanding fossil fuels. Instead of spending billions on new oil infrastructure, we should be building the #renewable energy and stronger east-west grid Canada needs for a secure, affordable, climate-safe future. ☀️🌬️⚡ shrlnk.ca/s/drBNmkEv

The #OntarioLine was supposed to cost ~$11B. Now it’s $34B+. Meanwhile, Ford is pursuing an infrastructure agenda worth more than half a TRILLION dollars, including an estimated $400B+ nuclear expansion. Who is scrutinizing the costs? #onpoli shrlnk.ca/s/rSskkigP

It's Lake ONTARIO - & if Doug Ford really wants to stand up to #Trump, we can do A LOT better than a sign. Let’s put our #GreatLakes winds to work producing low-cost renewable power right here at home. ADD YOUR VOICE: cleanairalliance.org/ontario/

Want Ontario to do more than put up a sign? Tell Ford & Lecce to lift the offshore wind ban and put our Great Lakes winds to work. 🌬️ Our lake. Our power. Let’s use it. 👉 SIGN LETTER: cleanairalliance.org/ontario/
