NEW: Another loss in court for the Ford government. The province was trying to get this climate-change lawsuit https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-youth-climate-change-lawsuit-1.5372440 thrown out. A judge rejected the govt's claims that the suit is unreasonable, so the case can proceed. Decision here: https://ecojustice.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Reasons-for-Decision-CJB-FINAL-signed-2020-11-12.pdf
The case is brought by 7 young plaintiffs & is being argued by lawyers from @ecojustice_ca & @stockwoodsllp. The lawsuit alleges the Ford govt violated their Charter rights to "life, liberty & security of the person" by lowering Ontario's targets for cutting GHG emissions #onpoli
"This case raises a serious justiciable issue and a substantial constitutional issue," writes Justice Carole Brown in her decision allowing the climate-change suit against the Ford government to proceed. #onpoli
