Ontario citizens working to change land-use policies so farmland & water are protected for future generations. Helped stop the Mega Quarry. #FoodAndWaterFirst
Why in the world would you consider sacrificing farmland?
THIS is the GOLDILOCK zone- Southern Ontario.
Longest list of crops grown in North America except California which has to transport water to their crops. -Mark Kruesser

Ontario is under attack and the Federal Government should quickly re-designate Highway 413 for Impact Assessment under an updated Impact Assessment Act. https://t.co/ErJokivYUx via @envirodefence#Stopthe413#StopSprawl
If you're concerned that this MOU-which does not affect the re-designation of Highway 413 for federal Impact Assessment-presages an intention NOT to re-designate, the best thing to do is keep up the pressure on MPs. Start w @EnviroDefence's online action! https://t.co/BvXC45Ddop
NEW: Behind the scenes in the frantic weeks and months before the Greenbelt and municipal boundary decisions. Internal documents reveal political staff ignored expert advice from bureaucrats. Now, the RCMP is investigating.

Countdown- 45 days to comment on the province restoring the Greenbelt - on first glance we think the Greenbelt should be strengthened to #stophwy413 and grow to protect farmland and sensitive areas from sprawl. https://t.co/NpEkqvArlx
Nearly a year after breaking its promise to protect the #Greenbelt, the Ford government is to unveil legislation that it says will protect the #Greenbelt. Awaiting the details to see if the latest promise is kept. #onpoli#GreenbeltScandal
Ontario's municipal affairs and housing minister is expected to introduce legislation today to return parcels of land to the protected Greenbelt.

New investigation from @fatimabsyed and me:
Internal provincial docs show the Ontario government expanded Hamilton’s urban boundary in large part because of requests from unnamed “third parties” — and despite warnings from public servants. #onpoli

It's #OntarioAgWeek! This week is dedicated to the abundance of food our farmers produce, the hard working people in the industry, the rural communities it supports, and the economic engine it fuels.
The #Greenbelt is proud to support agriculture in this province.
The past year reminded some of our member groups of the fight decades ago to save the Niagara Escarpment + Oak RIdges Moraine. What was so wonderful this time was people rallied across the Ontario. #❤️Greenbelt #HandsOffTheGreenbelt
🎉 WE WON! Thanks to YOUR voices, Premier Ford is reversing the #Greenbelt land removals 🌾🌳🦆
This win gives us the courage and energy to keep fighting. We couldn’t have done it without all of you! 🎊
We are thrilled to see the ON government has reversed its decision to allow development in the #Greenbelt, safeguarding precious agricultural lands for the future. However, our mission is far from over. There is much more to to do. https://t.co/c0WcortRyW
