Will OPG buy American-designed reactors from GE-Hitachi or Westinghouse? Ontario would have to import enriched uranium from the US to fuel them. Will that supply still be as secure in 2050, when it's needed? #onpoli 🙃 #cdnpoli Please invest in sustainable energy for 🇨🇦's sake.

CEO pay is up 49% since 2020. Meanwhile rent and groceries keep climbing, and services we need are failing. We can choose a different path: make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share and invest in the things that make life more affordable. Wealth tax. Now.
