Under cover of COVID Doug Ford is selling out the environment: Greenbelt. Global warming. Carbon pricing. Reviving the Hwy. 413 bypass but bypassing proper assessments. MZOs. For this premier the environmental is pathological. Thursday's column: https://t.co/qzTZRt73gM
Thank you for the wave of support after a disappointing day 💚
Welcome to our new followers! We will need your voices in the weeks and months to come.

BREAKING: The federal government has decided it will step in and take over the environmental assessment of the Ford government's Highway 413 project.
This is huge news. Many believe this decision will effectively kill the project as the fed EA is much more rigorous. #onpoli
Some of the brightest minds in Ontario on May 6th will explain how we all can curb urban sprawl. While we collectively battle covid developers have been very focused and busy. 🏠🏠🏠
The protection of our Greenbelt is of the utmost importance. If we are to ensure its continued protection we need to carefully select the appropriate individual as head of the Greenbelt Council with a track record of doing so, rather than someone who voted against it in 2005.
Register for the Stop The Big Sprawl webinar hosted by Environmental Defence May 6th 7-8pm. If you live in the Greater Golden Horseshoe then without pushback tens of thousands of acres will be redesignated from agriculture to urban uses this summer. https://t.co/QyJBMv6itk

Just a couple of days left to urge the federal government to stop Ontario from fast-tracking two new highways that will pave over farmland, forests & sections of the #ONGreenbelt. Take action today #StopThe413#onpoli https://t.co/LvGonQKrzY
New from me: The Ontario government is deprioritizing clean energy. Proposed changes in Bill 276 would repeal measures that made it easier to get renewable energy projects on the grid. #onpoli

A new report from @envirodefence shows that if Highway 413 is built, the vehicles using the highway will emit over 17 million tonnes of greenhouse gases by 2050 & cause over $1 Billion in damages from air pollution #StopThe413#onpoli

#Media: Our new report shows Highway 413 will increase transportation emissions in the province, escalate suburban sprawl alongside the highway & cause billions of dollars in damages from heightened air pollution in nearby communities #StopThe413#onpoli https://t.co/aumWpOVu0n
