Do you have proof of this?
Google "ticks in ontario increasing" for literally dozens of references.
The "probably climate change" is supposition, hence the "probably" disclaimer, but a lot of those references above blame "milder winters" or climate change directly.
Then maybe just leave it out next time. I'm tired of people claiming climate change is responsible with no data to back it up for every natural event. That's no better than someone claiming global warming doesn't exist because they have a cold week of snow.
No, I won't, because it is probably climate change.
So sure leave it in, just know you're at the same level as a climate change denier.

Here are a few sources with two mins of Googling.
Burden of proof is on the commenter. They did not provide proof. The burden is not on me to Google anything when someone else spouts a claim.
Your first article is literally just a guy saying it has changed with nothing to back it up.
From the second study which I'm guessing you haven't even read-
"Climate and other environmental changes are expected to increase the risk of ticks and TBDs in a number of ways."
"Prolonged extremes values of temperature (high or low), low humidity and intense rainfall could adversely affect tick development by reducing their activity and increasing their mortality rateFootnote 5. These changes in temperature are expected to have less of an effect on ticks than on mosquitoes because of the tick’s ability to find refuge in their woodland habitats"
"It is important to note, however, that the relationship between tick-borne diseases and climate is not linear."
Notice the key words EXPECTED and ANTICIPATED.
Ticks carrying Lyme disease are exploding in Ontario, probably because of climate change. It makes sense to get this into the rotation as soon as possible.
After COVID, we suddenly have everybody is acting like vaccines are something weird, odd, new and scary.
