Premier Doug Ford says Ontario will try to hit its climate change targets by 2030, despite internal documents suggesting the province is not on track to meet the emissions reduction goals.
Ford was responding to a report from CBC News that shows the province is projected to miss a key climate change target by three megatonnes of emissions in 2030. The premier said Ontario is working hard to hit the mark and committing to nuclear energy as a way to help green the province’s electricity grid.
“Our goal is always to hit 100 per cent and we’ll do it as quickly as possible,” Ford said on Friday. “That’s our goal, and that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to do our very best to achieve it.”

For some reason a different article from the same author provides that information.
This makes it sound a lot more attainable. If Doug actually cared about this goal instead of just pretending to care, Ontario could come in below its goal.
