Getting Ontarians moving while saving them money We’re #7 in popularity – help us get to #1! The Ontario Government is looking for ways to stretch its budget while investing in long overdue infrastructure improvements, like expanded transit and safe bridges. Here’s the idea we have submitted: Refocus our electricity system away from high-cost nuclear and toward low-cost water power imports from Quebec. Please give it the thumbs up  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=c231f87495&e=45743fde61> here. Thank you!
