Friends, a multi-national company using the language of generosity for its real agenda, getting approval of a #megaquarry. Shifting environmental costs onto the community, while donating to a local charity.
Don’t confuse generosity with corporate influence #caledon #megaquarry #ONpoli #TOpoli | The Pointer https://t.co/z6ePmrWuwx
@GGHfriends Strada Aggregates, owned by the DeGasperis family — plans to extract two million tones of limestone annually for over three decades. In September 2023, they failed to weaken the Greenbelt. Now, with Bill 5, they can more easily suppress opposition to a gravel mine.
OLT hearing on Caledon's ICBL to develop better policies to protect residents set for early September, the Town has a strong case but will they win against the powerful aggregate industry #caledon #noneeditsgreed #megaquarry The Pointer https://t.co/IrsETgpdfY
STOP the #Megaquarry in #Caledon - people across Ontario rally to demand a pause on new aggregate approvals until the province fixes broken system that approves more aggregate than we need for the next 20 years. #onpoli #Ontariodayofaction #noneeditsgreed https://t.co/Zflu0A8ckq
@JohnLorinc @OntarioPlace @fordnation @DavidSuzukiFDN @Sandra_Pella There are considerable parallels w successful fight against #MegaQuarry which large ENGOs like @DavidSuzukiFDN were involved with. Joining w farmers, First Nations, foodies to protect farmland. ENGOs often stretched thin but loss of @OntarioPlace too critical to sit this one out
So many similarities between the #Greenbelt & #MegaQuarry battles. In 2011, a US hedge fund wanted to destroy 6,500 acres of prime farmland for a quarry. Now, it’s the province that wants to destroy 7,400 acres of prime farmland. #PeoplePower won then. It can do so again!
Excellent #Greenbelt report by @CityCynthia. Some similarities to the #MegaQuarry fight in 2011. Back then it was a Boston hedge fund trying to destroy thousands of acres of prime farmland. This time, it’s our own government. Shameful. #HandsOffTheGreenbelt #onpoli
We took a lot of drone visuals of the lands that will be removed from the Greenbelt in Duffins Rouge Agricultural preserve. Premier Ford keeps referring to "homes on the other side of the street." This is what we saw. #onpoli

Several years ago 20,000 Toronto residents gathered in a local park to support farmers fighting to save their lands from industrial development #MegaQuarry. City folk support farmers but we ask that you respect our beleaguered health care workers, make your point and #GoHome.
#BREAKING The convoy protest has already arrived on the north side of the Ontario Legislature, with a huge gathering of tractors and a few truck cabs already blaring their horns behind a police barricade that includes a bus parked side to side across the road. @CityNewsTO

Some very sad news. One of our supporters, Wendell Wigle, has died at the age of 91. Wendell & his wife, Christina were instrumental in alerting Torontonians to the #MegaQuarry threat. He was a kind & gracious man. Our condolences to all who loved him. https://t.co/luJ5pzlURv

We remember it well, Faisal! People Power stopped the #MegaQuarry. People Power can stop the attack on conservation authorities, too! #RemoveSchedule6 #onpoli
Several years ago unlikely coalition of environmentalists, farmers, First Nations & foodies came together to overturn boneheaded plan to build a mega-quarry in Melancthon that would have destroyed prime farmland. Same happening now to protect Conservation Authorities @fordnation
Wow! It was seven years ago today that these signs popped up! Thanks to the tens of thousands of Ontarians who helped defeat the #MegaQuarry & continue the fight to preserve farmland & water. #onpoli #Foodstock #Soupstock #localfood #ProtectOurFarmland #ProtectOurWater
