@alisatweetsmore @SmallsCreek What's even worse is that the replacement trees will be planted far from the clearcut site.

Systemic problem is not just Mtx reckless "progress" or Smalls Creek's ESA protected ravine. "Someone needs to be held accountable" for @fordnation and the City of TO failure to deliver on #climate #biodiversity. We are not going to grow out of this! #overshoot

[Richard Payne @TOCreditorLaw]

@Diana_C_McNally @Metrolinx @cityoftoronto The contrast between the speed at which @metrolinx carries out destruction (very fast) and actually builds transit (very slow) could not be more stark. @SmallsCreek @dontmesswthedon @TorontoRavines @SaveJimmie @BradMBradford @Diana_C_McNally @metromorning @breakfasttv

Someone in Mulroney’s political office ordered public servants at the Metrolinx transit agency to exclude opposition MPPs from alerts that trees were to be cut in their ridings,

[Richard Payne @TOCreditorLaw]

Our experience @SmallsCreek was very similar. I think as residents of a democracy we are shocked that our words and actions have no impact at all on @Metrolinx which is a fundamentally undemocratic entity. @floyd_ruskin @dontmesswthedon @SaveJimmie

@xkeya @alisatweetsmore @Metrolinx 😢

[Richard Payne @TOCreditorLaw]

Sadly, we @SmallsCreek had a similar experience with @Metrolinx. I was playing hockey at Moss Park Arena last night and saw the sadly familiar destructive signs of the handiwork of Metrolinx. Shattered trees, piles of sawdust and fencing....everywhere fencing. @FOMossPark

Just come from the protest against Metrolinx cutting down the Osgoode Hall trees. Minus 18 but a big crowd.

[Richard Payne @TOCreditorLaw]

Perhaps @Metrolinx should adopt a new logo showing a train zooming past a field of stumps! ‘I can’t walk past those trees without crying’: Metrolinx to cut down Moss Park’s mature growth, leaving residents upset @SmallsCreek https://t.co/fkY2xVE8Mq via @torontostar

[Friends of Smythe Park @SmytheParkTO]

People have the power! The @enagbcampaign to protect the Humber & Eglinton Flats against @metrolinx was powerful!! Lots of allies attended @SmallsCreek @BuildtheParkTO @LostRiversTO @naturestewards @HopiMartin @AllianceBlack @STOPthetrains1 plus many more! BURY THE TRAIN

[Humber River Calling @HumberRiverTO]

It was a great protest today held by ENAGB to protect the Humber & Eglinton Flats from #Metrolinx destruction! Many groups united from across the City! @MichaelFordTO @FrancesNunziata @SmallsCreek @BuildtheParkTO @STOPthetrains1 @enagbcampaign @AllianceBlack @fordnation
