After axing his predecessor’s carbon tax policies, the premier has offered the province a new climate change plan that asks more questions than it answers. Repealing the cap-and-trade system also cancels the programs funded by its revenues, including rebates for energy-efficient renovations, transit projects, clean energy production like wind and solar, and a fund for […]

Not so funny Re: How Nice editorial cartoon (October 2018) I have lived in the Annex for 40 years. I love living here and am so glad The Annex Gleaner exists. This is the first time opening the paper made me sad. I have never voted Conservative, never will, and I put in a good […]

I have huge respect for Catherine McKenna, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. Her […]

FOCUS: Putting candidates to the Gleaner test (City Election 2018)

Ironic because decisions made at City Hall have a greater impact on your day-to-day life than those made in the legislature or in parliament. On any given day, Toronto City Council will consider garbage, snow removal, transit, zoning, parks…the […]
