Bill 5 has been blocked from going into its third and final reading.

Your efforts are making a difference, every single petition, rally, message to the Ontario government and your MPP – they are being felt.

As an election gets underway in Ontario, documents show the federal and provincial governments at an impasse over Highway 413’s impact on species at risk.

The misleading rhetoric continues. The PC government's own studies show the Bradford Bypass will NOT reduce gridlock and congestion will only get worse in the area in the years ahead without alternative solutions.

The Doug Ford government paid experts ~$1.5M to tell them how to reach net-zero emissions. Experts came up with 18 scenarios; each one urged the phase out natural gas. The Ford government isn't doing that & hasn't released the report

New research shows that the carbon tax caused 0.5% of inflation since 2019
In other words, the carbon tax is NOT driving inflation
I repeat: the carbon tax is NOT driving inflation

The #HousingCrisis is top of mind to many Ontarians.

The next Government must prioritize building homes people can afford within liveable communities – instead of sprawl that destroys natural areas & farmland.

Canada's list of at-risk species is growing once again, environmental experts say.

Four new species have been assessed as endangered, bringing the total of known at-risk species to 860, nationwide⤵️

Our draft Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Plan focuses on practical solutions to do our part to protect our environment and human health from the scientific fact of a warming planet. The four areas of focus will ensure a healthier community, by protecting nature, making smart decisions and ensuring we have resilient infrastructure. The plan is also deliberately designed to save you money by reducing the town’s operational costs and insurance risks. Please review the draft plan, have your say and add your feedback here: https://t.co/RMTPGGfCLM. #onpoli #cdnpoli

Looking forward to celebrating with all of you tonight!

Excuse me?? Govts shouldn’t be in the habit of excusing themselves from liability when they make decisions that they know will harm ppl. Govts should be figuring out ways to avoid harming ppl & making life better.

Among everything else that’s despicable about this, ITS A CLEAR ADMISSION THAT THEY KNOW THAT DOING THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY ENDANGER LIVES.

People rode bikes on these streets before the bike-lanes (albeit fewer) & they will again after. The inevitable blood will be on Ford’s hands.

Here are some of the species at risk in the path of the #BradfordBypass. Pretty sure they will not love 24/7 construction. #undemocratic #LakeSimcoe #endangeredspecies #saltpollution #lakesimcoe #nature #birdwatching #ClimateChange #simcoecounty #yorkregion @OntarioNature

ICYMI: The government says it was the science centre board of directors that ultimately closed the attraction but we have texts showing the premier's office (known as PO) was paying close attention days before. #OnPoli
