Wow, great crowd in Toronto at #StopThe413 Rally, and some GASP members there too!
Wherever you go in #Ontario, people don't want to carve up the #Greenbelt to save 30 seconds on a commute.
This highway was studied and shelved for a good reason.
Why is Ford so keen on this ?
If you’re curious, here’s the video that Mr. Poilievre is kicking up a fuss about.
Canada is a great country and we can make it even better.
It’s time to build. Together.
Paris is in the middle of a plan to transform into a 100% cycling city. They are also poised to introduce “pedestrian hearts” in each district, inspired by Barcelona’s superblocks, reserving areas for pedestrians, cyclists & public transport. @MomentumMagmomentummag.com/paris-to-showc…

"If we can now build expressways through protected Greenbelts, then there's no green space in Canada that's safe." Help save the Greenbelt, it’s wildlife and the top tier farmland within: ow.ly/tyCC50Rli8U#StopHWY413#HandsOffTheGreenbelt#onpoli
BREAKING: Big news from Quebec!
The Montreal Metropolitan Community, which includes 82 municipalities representing half of Quebec's population, has adopted a new by-law on greenhouse gas emissions from buildings. 🥳

Today, 100+ organizations worldwide, stand in solidarity with Aamjiwnaang First Nation. We urge @s_guilbeault and government officials to close the Ineos Styrolution plant in Sarnia, Ontario, until it meets air quality standards and community demands. hubs.ly/Q02v3WWn0
If you won't take lessons from the Official Opposition on marginalization, take them from @envirodefence.
Your government's policy of letting suburbs exclude most apartments from existing lowrise neighbourhoods is a backdoor way to segregate people by income & even ethnicity.

Did you know offshore wind power in the #GreatLakes could meet all of Ontario’s electricity needs?💡
Why are we ignoring this fantastic opportunity to lower our power bills and take action on #climate?

Negotiations take time. Finding common ground to solve global problems can be difficult. But what should we do if nature doesn't wait?
The urgency of #climatecrisis demands shift action. @billmckibben reflects on what we can do together: bit.ly/BBSBILL

The climate crisis is not a problem for someone else to solve in the future.
It's an emergency that affects us all NOW, no matter where we are 🌍
It is only together that we can tackle climate change.
Happy #MultilateralismDay
"Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity." - Lewis Mumford in 1955.
We’ve known this for a LONG time, but we’ve put massive energy, money, space, and time into pretending we don’t know it.

“Abundantly clear there was a relationship”: texts show that Doug Ford’s former principal secretary visited a Greenbelt developer’s mansion multiple times, contradicting his sworn testimony to the Integrity Commissioner. Scoop by @CharliePinkertothetrillium.ca/news/politics/…#onpoli
Nice work @fatimabsyed@envirodefence showing how Enbridge’s direct line to Premier’s office led to Ford govt overturning ruling of independent regulator (a ruling that would have benefited consumers and climate).

Well, this sounds suboptimal
New study finds climate change likely to do $38 trillion in economic damage a year by 2050.

Last year Canada spent $18 billion on fossils
That same amount of money could have:
- equipped 1.2 million homes with heat pumps
-trained 36,000 firefighters
-ensured everyone across the country has access to sufficient food
