Protected, safe bike lanes are CHEAP infrastructure that save taxpayers millions as they get cars off the road and increase health outcomes.
No one believes that more highways reduces traffic, only investments in transit and bike lanes actually reduces traffic.
The Federal government can protect Ontarians from the @Fordnation Greenbelt-eating Highway 413...and put the trucks on the 407. https://t.co/5c5gCAdmCl via @thehilltimes#Cdnpoli#Stopthe413
Western Canada has a lot of explaining to do. Canada’s recently released greenhouse gas inventory shows that every western province has increased its climate pollution since 1990. @bsaxifrage for @NatObserver https://t.co/J5oO16DZX6

Two years ago on March 24th 2022, the Climate-Aligned Finance Act was introduced. Despite hundreds of endorsers, including from 4/5 major political parties, rules to align finance with climate action is still the missing piece of Canada's climate plan.
Let's fix that now: #CAFA.
Ford should listen to his own regulator.
BC’s is also concerned about costs to customers:“rejected a FortisBC plan that would have seen the company’s existing customers paying to provide more expensive renewable natural gas in new buildings.”

The amount of money spent on political @ONgov advertising instead of homelessness, healthcare or housing is obscene & irresponsible of the majority @OntarioPCParty government!
They are responsible to everyone irregardless if they voted for them or not.
Happy Agnes MacPhail Day! An MPP w the CCF (what we now call the New Democratic Party) MacPhail was Ontario's first woman Member of Provincial Parliament. She represented York East, ~corresponding to the northern halves of today's Beaches-East York & Toronto Danforth ridings.
On March 24, 2022, the #ClimateAlignedFinanceAct was introduced to the Senate. Canada needs such legislation in its tool box to fight climate change and keep our economy strong. Let's hope #CAFA doesn't sit for another 2 years before becoming law. @JulieESegal@SenRosaGalvez
🧵 Most alarming - #electricity emissions in the GTHA increased by 26%. This rise was driven by increasing #emissions intensity of the Ontario grid. It’s a decisive signal to phase out natural gas generation quickly.

Greenbelt Grab and Urban Boundary Expansions are two examples of patterns of behavior by Ford.
Take a public asset, destroy it, and sell off to corporate friends.
Frame as a "win" for the public through gov. comms spending and slogans on ads, billboards, and radio.
Call your Mayor if you live in #Milton, #HaltonHills, #Oakville
Mayors have been given powers to overstep councils on the issue of Urban Boundary Expansion.
This is worse than Strong Mayor Power
Councils are powerless to stop this.
Call your Mayor now!

It's easy to forget, but @fordnation and his government have no real interest in solving Ontario's housing crisis. They are focused instead on using it as an opportunity to enrich their suburban developer buddies and punish municipal leaders they consider enemies.
