Premier urged Ontarians Wednesday to refrain from lighting campfires, as 54 wildfires burned across the province and smoke from fires in Quebec degraded air quality
TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged everyone in the province Wednesday to refrain from lighting campfires, as 54 wildfires burned across the province and smoke from fires in Quebec degraded air quality.
Ford was responding in question period to NDP Leader Marit Stiles, who said climate change is making the fire season worse. Ford said he was "in shock" that Stiles would politicize the wildfires, and noted they occur every year. "Throughout most of eastern, central, northeast and northwest Ontario, there is a fire restriction and ban in place," he said.
