NEW: The NDP is calling on the RCMP to widen the scope of its investigation into the Ford government’s Greenbelt dealings after a watchdog determined that relevant documents were allegedly “permanently deleted” contrary to provincial law. globalnews.ca/news/11243703/… #onpoli

Proposed Highway 413 will cause irreversible environmental devastation. Six-lane, 52-kilometre highway would pave over 400 acres of the Greenbelt & more than 2,000 acres of Ontario’s most productive farmland. Imagine how much healthier we would be without an unnecessary 413.

Of all RFK Jr's dangerously wrong opinions - his attack on HPV vaccines is the worst (and that really is saying something) HPV vaccines like Gardasil PREVENT cancer - so effectively that cervical cancer is on the way to ELIMINATION in places like Scotland, Sweden and Australia.
