Ontario municipalities are dealing with crisis after crisis, while the Ford government tightens budgets and downloads costs; all driving up your property taxes.
At AMO this year, I called for a new deal for municipalities: one that respects local democracy and puts affordability first.
Highway 413 would pave over conservation reserves like this one, wiping out endangered species habitat and destroying our waterways making flooding worse. All to save drivers 30-60 seconds. This isn't about gridlock, it’s about rich people connected to Ford cashing in billions at our expense.

The UK and Australia are now generating so much energy from renewables, they're literally giving it away to residents. Meanwhile Doug Ford is ramping up gas plants, putting fossil fuel billionaires ahead of affordable energy for the rest of us.
Ontario is being left behind. But we don't have to be. Join our fight for cleaner, cheaper power now

We are deeply troubled by the devastation people across B.C. are facing during this wildfire emergency.
This is what the climate crisis looks like. Our government continues to choose the fossil fuel industry that is driving this crisis over protecting Canadians.
We can’t let tech billionaires come in and take over our communities.
That's why we're calling for a moratorium on AI data centres until guardrails are in place to protect people and communities. It’s time to take our power back.
Why does a party that gets 17% of the eligible votes get 100% of the power in Ontario?
@MikeSchreiner chats with Alex Kiiffner about Ontario's voting system and the need for electoral reform in 'Queen's Park 101', available wherever you get your podcasts.

4,000 social service workers are on strike across Ontario. They're holding our communities together with love and duct tape, while their real wages have fallen every year since 2018.
Poverty in this province is a policy choice.
Join us on the picket line and help us send a message to the Ford government: workers and the people they serve are worth fighting for.
Doug Ford wants to break all the rules to hand public land on Lake Muskoka to a private developer, no local input, no planning laws. 1,400 units, 3 hotels, one bay being sold off to the highest bidder.

Doug Ford says he'll "not spare a penny" fighting wildfires. But firefighters have been warning his government for ten years about being underprepared and we keep losing them because he won't fix it. That's not doing everything we can. That's ignoring the people who actually fight the fires and putting Ontarian lives at risk.
"Every year when the Ontario budget comes out in the spring, including this year, you see a cut in the budget for wildland firefighting. We need to have fully funded crews.”
@MikeSchreiner
A year on and still relevant. If you missed it, catch former GPO and GPC LNC candidate Carol Dyck talking to @mattbrownldn about #climatechange & the need to make #ldnont more resilient to climate impacts. #climateaction https://t.co/6CbW56wwBm
#wildfires in northern ON & across Canada devastate those directly impacted, have health risks for people far from the fires, & enormous social, env'tal & economic costs. Consider writing your MP and/or MPP. Let them know it's time to take #climatechange seriously. #climateaction
My heart goes out to everyone evacuating Northwest Ontario due to the wildfires. We need a preparedness plan that funds and supports wildland firefighters before there's an emergency, not after the fire's already putting lives at risk.
I talked with Chief Gord of the Carling Fire Department about why wildland fire prep can't wait until fire season starts. We need to get to fires while they're small, invest early, equip our firefighters properly.
The Ontario Greens are ready to work across party lines as we call on the Ford government to fund a real wildland firefighting preparedness plan.
We've seen what a Ford majority government looks like.
If you're a wealthy, well-connected insider, it's going great. If you're not, then life in Ontario has only become harder and more expensive.
Imagine what we could accomplish if we put everyday people first.
Did you know that in Doug Ford’s Ontario, @fordnation’s ministers can hand out $8.5M of your hard-earned money as wedding gifts to their lobbyist friends?
That’s exactly what @DavidPiccini did.
One very expensive wedding gift… that you paid for.
This is NOT okay.

Political leaders were in Ottawa on Tuesday to reaffirm their continued opposition to a proposed nuclear waste disposal site at Chalk River, located approximately 180 kilometres northwest of the city | @FraserNeedham

WATCH: @ElizabethMay, leader of the Green Party of Canada, joined Indigenous leaders in supporting Kebaowek First Nation’s fight against nuclear waste at Chalk River. Protecting the Ottawa River means listening to Indigenous leadership.
