Land use effects us all. We all live downstream. Only 5% of Ontario is productive farmland, the province is turning it to sprawl. @gghfriends.bsky.social

🤯 Premier Ford is now seeking Trump-style authoritarian powers to exempt "friends", political allies, and even U.S. billionaires from ~any & ~all provincial laws: labour rights, safety & clean water & even speed limits & trespass laws. 👇 act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/170384/ac… #onpoli #Bill5

Doug Ford's Bill 5 will trample on Indigenous rights, labour standards and environmental protections. This Bill needs to be stopped. Protecting Ontario must include protecting the people and places we love. That's why today I called on The Premier to shelve Bill 5 and instead

Focus Ontario: The Ford government's Bill 5 has raised concerns that the province is giving cabinet unilateral power over yet-to-be-named economic zones in Ontario. We spoke with the CCLA and Independent MPP Bobbi Ann Brady about the worry. #onpoli

Media Release: The Ford government's new proposed Bill 17 ignores the housing barriers that MATTER, while scapegoating green building and urban design rules that can actually help make construction more efficient. environmentaldefence.ca/2025/05/13/bil…

And @Fordnation is trying to turn its Greenbelt and farmland headwaters into concrete with Highway 413 and his scorched earth Bill 5. #ONpoli #Stopthe413

..there’s a pattern of the government, top political staffers in the premier’s office, actually making it very difficult, hiding information, emails in private accounts as a way to get around the laws. #GreenbeltScandal globalnews.ca/news/11194475/…

More sprawl coming to Barrie. This wouldn't happen if the provincial Growth Plan was still in place. Barrie sb growing up around its GO station. #sprawlagenda #barrie #onpoli barrietoday.com/local-news/bar…

Rain or shine, Ontario Nature will always show up for endangered species. Thanks to Wilderness Committee Ontario Office for organizing the rally. We were in good company with Neskantaga First Nation, Turtle Protectors, Ecojustice and so many more powerful speakers. We all had one message in common: #StopBill5

MPPs from three parties that are usually at eachother's throats are standing together & fighting tooth & nail to defend the rule of law in tonight's line by line amendment & debate on #Bill5. They're trying to stop the Premier's grab for unprecedented authoritarian powers. 🧵 👇

My goodness ! Elected MPPs successfully ran out the clock last night on bill 5 committee hearings, so it seems they can't continue until next Monday. That shrinks the window for the government to actually get the bill passed before summer break.
