HAMILTON – New Democrat Leader Andrea Horwath unveiled an “ambitious” plan to fight climate change Saturday as she breezed through a leadership review with 84 per cent support. That was the best showing for New Democrats since the Bob Rae government of the early 1990s and came as the unpopular Liberals were reduced to just seven MPPs, below official party status. “I believe we are seeing the ripple effects of electing just a single Green in Ontario,” he said in a statement. “The world’s leading climate scientists are telling us that climate change is moving faster than expected,” Horwath told party activists gathered in a downtown convention centre. Horwath’s climate change plan also promises “the largest building retrofit program in the world” if New Democrats win the next provincial election.
