RE:RE:RE:Cluelesssince i don't live in Ontario, so i go by googling
In 2003, coal represented approximately 25%, or 7,560 MW, of Ontario's supply mix. In 2014, coal represented 0%, all while grid reliability and domestic supply improved.
In April 2019, the federal government imposed a carbon tax on Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick. Prince Edward Island, Nunavut and Yukon opted to use the federal program in-part or whole. The rest of the provinces already had programs that met the federal requirements. I was trying to correlate GHG emission reduction to carbon taxing. Ontario shut down coal plants before the national carbon tax implementation, therefore i can not link carbon tax to GHG reduction from coal plant shutdown in Ontario.

* Ontario SHUT DOWN 5 LARGE COAL POWER PLANTS with a MASSIVE 7,500 MW GENERATING CAPACiTY (so a HUGE AMOUNT of CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) EMISSIONS were CUTBACK}
* this was a VERY COSTLY DECISION that could of been MITIGATED with GIANT COAL PLANT SCRUBBERS but they only TARGET SULFUR DIOXIDE (SO2) EMISSIONS {to DRASTICALLY REDUCE AIR POLLUTION but NOT CARBON EMISSIONS}
