My team at @envirodefence has been warni that @FordNation's scheme to KILL "smart growth" in Ontario could wipe out what remains of Ontario's tiny supply of quality farmland.
Now ALL Ontario farm organizations are demanding the government back down!

It's quite something that the world's top scientists put out a synthesis report that essentially says civilization as we know it will end unless the world comes together to stop rapidly expanding the fossil fuel industry but to instead rapidly end it, and almost no one cares

With #Bill23 passing into law today, here is what you need to know #Mississauga: The legislation will cost @CityMississauga $885M over ten years in development charge and money for new parks. It’s equal to losing 20% of our capital budget.

Remember, when the fresh snow flies in your city, it reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets for cars making them faster & more dangerous, and how much space we could reclaim for people & public life. We call them #sneckdowns. HT @fietsprofessor

It’s the peoples’ greenbelt…
@fordnation is putting the interests of a few ultra rich donors against the interests of the many and the public good.
It’s the peoples’ greenbelt.
It’s not Doug Ford’s to give away…

They need to show surpluses so no one will bother that they will be spending $60 billion on a highway through the most fertile land in Ontario so the 1% can get to their cottages 20 min. faster.

What happens when a "strong mayor" has no ideas? Asking for a friend/city.
