Episode 143
Monday, 23 March, 2026

Ontario is facing a mounting tire crisis after regulatory changes lowered recycling targets from 85% to 65%, leaving millions of tires stranded across the province. Adam Moffatt, executive director of the Ontario Tire Dealers Association, about how reduced obligations have triggered service cutbacks, stockpiles and growing fire, safety, insurance and environmental risks, especially in rural areas. Moffatt outlines the urgent need for government intervention, higher targets and regulatory fixes, and calls on dealers, municipalities and consumers to pressure to help alleviate the situation.
