Doug Ford cancels controversial $8.28-billion Greenbelt land swap: ‘It was a mistake’ Yes. Yes it was. https://t.co/IVjiiE8ApZ via @torontostar

[Janet Sumner @sumnerwild]

@TorontoStar @WildlandsLeague Thank you to every person who stood up for the Greenbelt and made the politicians listen

[Janet Sumner @sumnerwild]

we need political will to change

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Our world is becoming unhinged & we seem incapable of coming together to respond.

But the @UN was created precisely for moments like this – moments of maximum danger & minimum agreement.

What we need is determination to heal divisions & forge peace.

Ford’s secret Greenbelt sell off was never about affordable housing https://t.co/zWOZ43EaqO via @torontostar

[Janet Sumner @sumnerwild]

I'm sorry doesn't cut it when you hand developers $8.28 billion and break your promise to the people who elected you. Put the land back. You can still fix this.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Housing Minister Steve Clark "will continue to be part of our team."
The province's integrity commissioner has recommended Clark be reprimanded for his role in the controversial Greenbelt land swap. https://t.co/jYIBKmJbUi

[Greenbelt Alliance @GreenbeltAllies]

Some MPPs should be ashamed of themselves. You promised not to touch the Greenbelt and were trusted. For many rural communities who voted @OntarioPCParty they learned today what really happened. We don't think we have scraped the barrel to the bottom yet. #HandsOffTheGreenbelt

Thinking oil companies would address climate change, only got us a 20 years of delay https://t.co/VJT3JRcLRh

chuckle. nope. never. not one windy or sunny day in AB. how ludicrous.

[Janet Sumner @sumnerwild]

What did the auditor general find with her 'look behind the curtain'? Wednesday can't come soon enough. @WildlandsLeague

[Stop Sprawl Durham @NoSprawlDurham]

Auditor general to release Greenbelt report Wednesday https://t.co/oqTbrRnT52

thank you to everyone who made this statement

[Dennis Ward @DennisWardNews]

I would say at least 1000 people marching down Portage avenue on their way to the Manitoba legislature, chanting #searchthelandfill

[Janet Sumner @sumnerwild]

leadership is here

[Josh Matlow @JoshMatlow]

Toronto, our Greenbelt should be a gift to our children, rather than a giveaway to Doug Ford’s friends. I’m determined to work closely with our regional partners to protect our wilderness, aquifers, wildlife corridors, watersheds and remaining prime agricultural lands.

[Janet Sumner @sumnerwild]

forest fires are raging, so AB decided to turn up the heat

[Tzeporah Berman @Tzeporah]

Alberta has put a moratorium in wind and solar?! And will require mandatory end of lied bonds?!! Is this a joke? There 97,000 inactive oil wells not properly closed and 71,000 abandoned wells requiring clean-up. How about bonds for oil and gas?!!! #cdnpoli https://t.co/PA6kG2wddf

Farmers, scientists, young people and more don't want more roads @WildlandsLeague

[David Suzuki FDN @DavidSuzukiFDN]

Opposition to Hwy 413 is growing! Farmers are saying NO to the destruction of top-quality Canadian farmland, including Max Hansgen of @NFUOntario. Listen to why farmers are concerned about the threat of Hwy 413: https://t.co/ra9s0nJ36f @MooreintheAM @NEWSTALK1010 #StopHwy413

[The Narwhal @thenarwhalca]

Our eagle-eyed Ontario bureau is keeping track of how the Doug Ford government is changing environmental policy in its second term. The newest additions to our rolling list are about Ontario Place, mine waste, suburban sprawl and more. https://t.co/Tg7sSrz5GX

[Janet Sumner @sumnerwild]

leadership that looks out for people and nature looks like this

[Stop Sprawl Durham @NoSprawlDurham]

In case you missed it: Pickering Council is officially and unanimously against development in Duffins Rouge Ag Preserve. Pass it on!
