SAHA presents expert panelists who will paint a picture of how Community Land Trusts and cooperative ownership can address our local affordability concerns around affordable housing and affordable farmland Register for FREE at bit.ly/SAHA-CLT #Stratford #housing
This is remarkable public service journalism from @WR_Record in how it distills a regional staff report on the dangers of suburban expansions on KW's western edges, and the profound impacts it will have on our water supply.🧵 therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
Join us, @envirodefence and @ActionMilton this Saturday 2 p.m. - 30 minute rally to Tell Ford to keep his promise to stop the #Campbellvillequarry. #Noneeditsgreed #onpoli #Milton #Campbellville #Burlington

Farmer Jenn of @pfenningsfarm explains it well. This is the whole issue in a nutshell. Class 1 farmland is rare in our country. Build industry, but not on the BEST of the BEST farmland. Ford is dismantling our farmland protection. 👇👇

This #EarthDay, all eyes are on Ottawa as the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations kick off. @JustinTrudeau @s_guilbeault it’s time to #EndThePlasticEra. That means: ⬇️ Reduce plastic production ❌ Ban more plastics ✔️ Support reuse & refill
We're only one day away from gathering at the Wilmot Recreation Complex to discuss protecting the farmland that is at stake of being expropriated. Join us tomorrow, Friday April 19th at 1291 Nafziger Road, Baden, from 5:00pm-6:30pm. PLEASE SHARE! observerxtra.com/secrecy-opens-…
Pardon moi? Ford overruled Halton’s Official Plan voted by a MAJORITY of democratically elected councillors. No one wants costly sprawl except a small minority including Mayor Krantz, Zeeshan Hamid, (now PC candidate), and a few sprawl speculators.

(1) Environmental Defence has been warning that greenfield sprawl kneecaps fourplex by depriving small builders of the trades required to build them. Every sprawl McMansion comes at the expense of compact family homes in neighbourhoods.

Will Ford ‘Keep his promise’: ACTION Milton heads to Queen’s Park to request quarry cancellation #onpoli #noneeditsgreed #milton #stopthe413 insidehalton.com/news/keep-his-… via @InsideHalton
On behalf of @envirodefence, I warned @fordnation in my testimony to the Ontario Legislature that trying to accelerate sprawl would "likely result in fewer homes, not more... [bc it would] squander the resources that are needed to build homes." ola.org/en/legislative…
Highway 413 will cause irreversible environmental devastation. Please ask your MP to ensure the proposed highway undergoes a federal environmental assessment. #Stopthe413 ontarionature.good.do/stopthe413/ema…

Please enjoy my cartoon for Tuesday's @TorontoStar
A bedroom community is defined as a small community having “no major industry”. @WilmotTownship has a rich history of agriculture, & part of the largest industry sector in the Region. Council didn’t do their homework or fails to appreciate farming as a business #FarmlandScandal
In fairness, given our tax system, it has always been the case that pretty much everyone pays something to raise pretty much everyone's children. This is not a new thing. I have no children. I've no problem paying. They're be the ones paying / caring for me when I'm in a home.

For less than your tax $$ spent on the parking lot for @ONPlace4All @ThermeGroup private spa 102!!!! HOSPITALS could have broken even
So far, it looks like the @ONPlace4All underwater mega ultra spa parking garage is going to receive more tax payers dollars than Ontario hospitals posted in deficit for FY23. Meaning for less than that parking garage 102 hospitals could have broke even. *Based on draft analysis

I think about climate basically all the time. And one thing I wonder is why the Earth getting irreversibly hotter just doesn’t seem all that scary or even urgent to most people. To me it’s truly horrific. I wonder if my brain just works differently or something.
