EXCLUSIVE: When Ontario Premier Doug Ford first took office in 2018, his first environmental minister was given a simple yet central task: get climate legislation out of the way of business.
Here's Ford's environmental mandate.

Premier Doug Ford told the Auditor General that he didn’t participate in the Greenbelt extraction land selection and didn’t know about it until they were already picked by a political staffer.
He told the Ontario Legislature a different story in April.

Your @OntarioNDP Opposition House Leader @john_vanthof is formally requesting the Conservatives recall the Legislature immediately in order to reinstitute Greenbelt protections for the land in question.

The Conservatives rigged the system to help a select few of their donors—to the tune of $8.3 billion, carving up our Greenbelt against:
- expert advice
- public interest
- ethical standards
As a start, Minister Clark must resign.

Your government should be helping *you*, not themselves & their ultra-rich donors.
This Conservative government must be held to account.
I'm calling for three immediate actions:
@breakfasttv I agree with making the park car-free with a few parking spots near entrances. BUT there should be a free internal shuttle/train so everyone can still get around in the park no matter their abilities. Everyone should still be able to enjoy the park.
@tiredicunurse @jnyyz @breakfasttv There was an online input survey on the city website for a while. It asked about how you use the park and input about making it car-free, accessibility etc.But I agree that unless you saw a post about it, you wouldn't know.. they should make more of an effort so people are aware.
Don’t buy what Conservatives are trying to sell you. The Greenbelt Grab isn’t about housing.
You don’t have to choose between one or the other.
We can have both.
All it takes is leadership that puts everyday people ahead of friends & insiders.

Opposition to Hwy 413 is growing! Farmers are saying NO to the destruction of top-quality Canadian farmland, including Max Hansgen of @NFUOntario. Listen to why farmers are concerned about the threat of Hwy 413: https://t.co/ra9s0nJ36f @MooreintheAM@NEWSTALK1010#StopHwy413
Shame on @GlobeandMail giving full page to project’s architects, biased info, even photo of SPA without the building!!! It’s 9 floor height, size if BMO Stadium.
It’s about doing things right AND more important, doing the right things.
Public Waterfront Public Park.
The Ontario government plans to waste eight billion taxpayer dollars on a redundant highway (413) that cuts through protected land. What else could that money buy? Services Ontarians actually need. Sign the petition to stop Highway 413: https://t.co/pFWUEGTnFK
