Premier Wynne herself has said that Ontario won’t ban the use of natural gas for home heating as part of its climate change action plan. She said it in Alberta where people hate the idea as passionately as they do in places like Leaside and Larder Lake. And it is important to note that the gas-ban fear has stalked the province for many days. Often it seemed as if the Liberal Party’s plan was to pretend no one had said such a thing. Who knows, but the Premier has called the report “false” and said natural gas will “absolutely” be used to heat Ontario homes in the future. “The criticism that we have been getting is that we were going to be banning natural gas, and that is not something that we’re doing,” Wynne said after meeting Alberta Premier Rachel Notley in Edmonton Thursday.
