A great idea to help with the climate would be incentivizing residential sources of energy change, and encourage people to switch from natural gas as an energy source. That would help decrease emissions dramatically in this country.
I mean, I think a big reason is that Hamilton is one of, if not the worst municipality in Canada for emissions. The health of lower city residents is also becoming more apparent of an issue. I'm also sorry to say this, but now that the lower city is becoming a more middle income area, it's likely the government wanted to avoid looking like they were literally poisoning people, because middle class residents complain more about dying early from lung cancer.
