The Green Party? This American-born MP and his well paid wife should donate money to the homeless. Or, better still Mike, why not house some of the homeless people in Guelph in your front yard, backyard and basement. The clown of an MP and the useless mayor of Guelph are clueless.

I support 100%

I would suggest Mr Schreiner take an Economics 101 course before suggesting we levy a fee against a company who sells a product with inelastic demand since even a basic understanding of economics would reveal that the majority of that fee/tax would simply come out of the pockets of the consumer. This is a verifiable fact. To that end, by intention or misunderstanding, Mr Schreiner is suggesting that we charge a fee to those who are already struggling to pay their heating bills, namely the working and middle class. Not that I expect anything less from the Green Party, mind you. The economic lesson for the Green Party here then, in layman's terms, is that it is difficult or impossible to tax a company who produces a product inelastic demand (a product whose demand does not vary greatly with price changes) without that tax falling heavily upon the consumers of said product. To suggest these fees, therefore, is to suggest that Ontario working families pay more for their heating needs. Economics 101.

Sam Oosterhoff obfuscates honest dialogue by spewing a jumbled mess of irrational hot words. It is quite a similar tactic that liberals use in the house of commons to reply to hard questions without saying anything meaningful. The mantra is to deflect, confuse, and play on emotional arguments. I, for one, cannot stand it. I immediately do not like Sam Oosterhoff, as I do not like many federal liberals, and many other parliamentarians. Certainly his morals are corrupt; it would be interesting to see if his office is materially corrupt with Enbridge. I cannot imagine defending a private corporation's profits over the public interest.

Let's watch Paul black premier corrupt that is not a government he is not Supreme law of any lands thr Breton one this world n living on my royalties is no a charity to be kepin but a charisma of collusion erosion to our health n he must go

Well done, Mike. So many empty seats. Where are all the missing people?

Well said, Mike.

What's the purple scarf about?

Cut back on immigration insurances rates have risen in Ontario car thefts and accidents it's unfair

Stop the highway Doug Ford is pushing taking land from farmers and residents

Jobs are being handed to immigrants

Thank-you Mr. Schreiner.

Mike, on behalf of the citizens of the province, please stop pretending you’re relevant.

THANK YOU

Thanks again, Mike for joining us on PWD Allies podcast yesterday. Great show!

Hi Mike. Your response to being called "Mr. Green" reminded me of something: You know our common friend Ian? Many years ago I attended one of his courses and in that course everyone had to pick a name or a nick-name. I picked "Little Green Man".... ha ha, so I was first.... there's nothing wrong with being green, it's a compliment. Keep on fighting buddy, your argument is correct.

As soon as a politician says "I want to be clear" it is nothing but a lie. As a regular Canada, you politicians are nothing but one of three things (and the worst ones are combined), liars, cheats and thieves.

And if you do the math just in trees alone we are net zero. Time to put our energies into helping major polluters sure at Chino. We can shut our entire country down and it will do nothing. But of course it is easier for spineless dorks as this to run around in Canada spouting away but can't fight the real fight with countries like China ... and India in order to make the real difference.

So where do you think the energy is going to come from when when the government wants nothing but EVs running round in 2035? Wind? Solar? Or do you think everybody should just live in caves again. Even if Canada shut everything down it would make no difference in the global impact of climate change (or global warming as you started out with). And least I remind people like you that not to long ago your ilk were running around trying to sound the alarms that we were heading into another mini ice age. Well really the human race can live better with a warmer climate than a cold one.

No one is rushing to windmills and solar farms. Europe is going back to coal while China and India are building coal plants.

Green Party heard from; LOL, if they ever take power we will all freeze in the dark!

It is an engineering problem, not a political problem. You greens who wanted to scrap Site-C dam in British Columbia that could have affected the future of electric vehicles in the province. Using natural gas for heating will make solar and wind energy more feasible, reduce the cost of electricity, help switch to electric vehicles, and people won't freeze when power lines go down because of a storm.

So many should visit a bridge in Mexico..brain dead and corrupt

bro, you're out of touch and your government is out of money. Make current energy cheap and end the deficits.

If you went to the place where my parents raised me in the Toronto area. The affordable house they once had is gone... In it's place stands a multi-million dollar monstrosity that takes up the land of not only my parents old home, but the neighbors house as well. This not only fails to help people with the issue of "affordable housing," but actually takes affordable homes (that used to exist) off the market. I am reminded what the American Philosopher Geroge Carlin once said. "I have just the place for low cost housing. I have solved this problem. I know where we can build housing for the homeless... Golf courses. Just what we need. Plenty of good land, in nice neighborhoods. Land that is currently being wasted, on a meaningless, mindless activity." "Golf is an arrogant, elitist game and it takes up entirely to much f***ing room in this country."

Building more housing, but don't count on any kind of government infrastructure around those homes.

Nuclear is the choice to support our consumption needs.

Nicely said, Mike!

'promo sm'

The only part of Ford's health care changes which seem like they might be an attack is that it's public money going into the private system. - Ford is right that a public-private combination health care system is best. But it's best only when the private system is forced to stand on it's own. And if it wants to be competitive. Either be somewhere people happen to be rich. Or in our reality, find ways as a private health care business. To make services so affordable to people that they're able to be paying out of pocket.

THANK YOU MIKE THE NEXT PM OF CANADA GO MIKE GO!! come on people vote MIKE

THANK YOU MIKE THE NEXT PM OF CANADA GO MIKE GO!! come on people vote MIKE

THANK YOU MIKE WE ARE HERE FOR YOU NEXT PM MIKE!!!!!!!

go mike go

Good decision. I applaud you!

Mike, 'electoral cooperation' is a felicitous phrase. I just used it as the name of a new channel in the GPC's chat forum for "Developing our ability to work for progress with other parties." Cooperation of all kinds is essential for dealing with our crises; Greens know that it's something humans enjoy.

Thanks Mike. 💚💚💚💚💚

Ha ha.... so far this video has 2.7K views, many times more than all your previous videos combined. These 40 liberals are already working for you, they are promoting you. Ha ha...

I am impressed Mike!! Your leadership skills and true care for Ontarians is strongly felt and appreciated. I am shocked that less than 18% of the eligible voters gave us this present disgraceful government with no respect for the majority of our people. I encourage you to continue your efforts to implement change to the Provincial Electoral System toward fair representation by population. I pray with you for more Green Party members and a strong Liberal Party leader to work with you for what the people and environment of Ontario truly need.

Respect your stance but disappointed nonetheless. Unseating this barely elected clique of bandits constitutes an emergency and you could have best positioned the only (like it or not) viable alternative to do that. Those 40 people who wrote you a letter made a proposal on behalf of the majority of reasonable minded ontarians who are desperate to preserve the good in our society and would have welcomed an injection of forward thinking policy you brought to the table. Maybe it's not too late to reconsider. Either way, wish you the best.

Awesome! I lend my support to Mike and the Greens!

Excellent presentation. I encourage you to continue your efforts to implement change to the Provincial Electoral System toward fair representation by population perhaps by allotting a number of seats for each county based on its population.

💚💚💚💚💚

Thank you Mike. There was no guarantee you would have become leader of the Libs, if you had gone for it. Hopefully the Liberals who asked you to be leader will encourage fellow Liberals to vote for you and the Greens.

Less than 18% of eligible voters gave us this present government's "mandate"? Wow. We absolutely need electoral reform.

Thank you for your clear explanation of what must have been a difficult decision. You will be most effective in the role you most strongly believe in. Thank you for ending with electoral reform. Without it we will remain subject to being governed by people who do not reflect the will of most people.

Way to go, Mike. Maybe those 40 Liberal grandees should become Green members and bring their experience & networks to bear...? 🤔

Good for you Mr. Schreiner. If the Liberals would like you to lead their party, maybe they could cross the floor to join yours. Their ego on that is baffling. Keep fighting the good fight sir.

Thank you Mike. I am sure the decision was a difficult one.

Correct decision Mike. Did it ever cross your mind to reply to those 40 Liberals who approached you and suggest that THEY switch the party to Green? I mean, if they really want you as a leader, well, there are two ways to do it...
