THE best farmland in Canada (or so). Every southern Ontario city needs a greenbelt of its own. twitter.com/annekersmit/st…

@shawnmicallef @BellWhitworth Lots of this happening in Hamilton and Niagara—best soil and climate for grapes and other tender fruit everywhere, best wineries and yet…sprawl. And lots of families would do just as well in townhouses or stacked condos…more affordable rental is critical. They need Greenbelt

This morning at @HamOntESN's rally I read the statement I wrote for @AcornHamilton about #HamOnt City Council's recent "Advocate Registry for Homelessness" motion & the idea expressed by some that an enforcement approach is preferred over a housing approach.

Community Press Conference at @cityofhamilton hearing from #HamOnt residents & community orgs asking to: -get rid of the registry motion immediately -stop all encampment evictions -fund housing now @HamOntESN @HousingLogement twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Today is the last day to register #HamOnt!!! twitter.com/EnvHamilton/st…

“Using modelling data, researchers were able to determine that emissions traced back to 88 oil companies resulted in an additional 80,000 kilometres squared being burned. That's an area larger than the size of Ireland.” cbc.ca/news/canada/wi…

@BrentToderian says that we will always have a vocal minority of NIMBYs. We need to ignore them now. Tonight is last —IN PERSON — chance to have your say on urban boundary expansion. More info: engage.hamilton.ca/growinghamilton #HamOnt

Excited to see the new bicycle boulevard and modal filter on Breadalbane yesterday evening with @cycletherapyHam! Was looking forward to seeing mini-roundabouts, but these simple bump-outs should be installed all over @Ward2Hamilton until full road reconstruction is planned.

#E4CS members out front RBC downtown! Way to go Elders! Why do an action in front of the bank? Because RBC is #1 for funding oil, coal, and gas, and resource projects on Indigenous land #ClimateActionNow #RBCIsKillingMe #NoMoreFossilFuels #NoMoreDirtyBanks

Trading 413 for the battery plant while letting transit systems fall into a death spiral would signal that the federal govt has signed onto the Ford govt’s car dependent sprawl agenda & further blow up chances of meeting 2030 transport sector GHG targets. thestar.com/politics/provi…

So @fordnation cancels the 50million tree program which actually planted trees on the land and now is allowing a micro brewery to plant trees in one prov. park -Ontario Parks so underfunded they can't afford to plant trees in our parks

Bananas. Once this is gone it's gone. If somebody speculated on farmland as an investment purchase rather than, like, farming, they should get into bitcoin. twitter.com/jm_mcgrath/sta…

My team @envirodefence has been warning that @SteveClarkPC's scheme to KILL "smart growth" in Ontario could wipe out what remains of Ontario's tiny supply of quality farmland. Now EVERY Ontario farm organization is demanding the government back down! ofa.on.ca/newsroom/joint…

#HamOnt Tell the city planners and councillors to prioritize growth to within our former urban boundary on this quick 3 minute city survey, not sprawl development on 7000 acres of Ford-stolen Hamilton farmland. engage.hamilton.ca/growinghamilto… twitter.com/Gasp4Change/st…

@SaundersWard10 Probably best to reach out to @SmartCommuteHam directly!

Uh-oh. @fordnation went too far with Bill 97. The farmers have drawn a line in the sand. #stopsprawl #HandsOffTheGreenbelt twitter.com/OntarioFarms/s…

BREAKING: All Ontario farm organization unite in their fight for survival against @fordnation and @SteveClarkPC attacks on our future. ofa.on.ca/?p=44612 #StopSprawl #HomesInCities #HandsOffTheGreenbelt

Finally got a sighting of @NeilLumsdenMPP at the @CollectiveBrew greenwashing announcement this morning! A bit like observing an endangered species as he refuses to meet with people in his own riding. Frustrated but not surprised: he wouldn’t take five minutes to talk to us!

This is a war on agriculture and that’s wrong,” Says Mark Reusser of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture on @fordnation’s latest decision including Bill 97. Please retweet if you believe it’s time for @LisaThompsonPC to stand up for Ontario Agriculture. twitter.com/Thetrilliumca/…

@DavidPiccini and @NeilLumsdenMPP tried to keep this morning’s press conference a secret. Then his handlers dropped @DavidPiccini off at the closed entrance of @CollectiveBrew. Neither MPP was happy to see us. But we left a “leaflet” on one of their cars. Greenbelt forever!

Unfortunately the ability to grow the ingredients for beer in #Ontario that @CollectiveBrew makes is under threat thanks to the Ford government - this government cannot greenwash making a fatal blow to our agriculture: liveableontario.ca/alliance-resou… #HamOnt twitter.com/JGaidolaCHCH/s…

‼️🚨Frustrated with the paving of farmland, overruling of our local democracy, & potential sell off of Conservation lands? Come down to the sidewalk outside of Collective Arts Brewery at 8:50 am for a peaceful protest #HamOnt👇

Great to see @MikePMoffatt confirm that we can build the housing we need in the form that the climate emergency requires - the missing middle is precisely what we have been pushing for #HamOnt to address instead of wasting time and resources on sprawl!

This report confirms what many in #HamOnt already knew - that we need to build more housing of all kinds in the city, but as noted in the report it must be climate friendly! That means infill developments instead of paving over farmland! twitter.com/mr_lois_lane/s…
