The Doug Ford Tories wasted no time in mowing down the ousted Liberal government’s Green Ontario Fund.

The fund was paid for with cap-and-trade proceeds, and Ford has vowed to scrap the carbon pricing “slush fund” and fight any attempt by the Justin Trudeau government to replace it.

“We will use every single tool at our disposal to make sure that the federal government doesn’t put a burden of the carbon tax on the backs of families, the backs of businesses, backs of industries,” Ford said Tuesday to loud applause at the first official meeting of the new PC caucus. “It is absolutely the worst tax anyone could put on the workers and families of Ontario.”

Although his government doesn’t formally take office until June 29, members of the public who opened up the Green Ontario Fund website Tuesday found a list of programs now closed, including rebates on windows, solar, ground source heat pumps and insulation.

“Doug Ford received a clear mandate from the people of Ontario to cancel Kathleen Wynne’s cap-and-trade carbon tax and the slush fund that was paid for by the carbon tax,” Ford spokesman Simon Jefferies said. “Doug Ford is delivering on his promise to put more money back into people’s pockets.”
