Dufferin—Caledon Greens 🪴

Today, on the Greenbelt's 18th birthday, Ontario Greens continue to push back against the Ford government's Greenbelt land schemes. We can build 2 million homes within existing urban boundaries. Let's protect our Greenbelt so that we can enjoy it for generations to come. #onpoli

Join @mikeschreiner and @ryannorrissci tomorrow at 3pm, on World Wildlife Day, for a conversation about the Greenbelt ecosystems that are home to 78 species at risk – and what it will take to protect them. Watch tomorrow: bit.ly/3J462MK #onpoli #HandsOffTheGreenbelt

Ontario’s nurses should not have to leave the public system to find fair wages and manageable workloads. We need more nurses in order to provide high-quality care to Ontarians. Investing in nurses is investing in a healthy Ontario. Add your voice: bit.ly/3mnHbuo

Fish communities are strongly linked to stream temperature. The upper/middle watershed supports mostly cold water fish species, like brook trout and longnose dace. The lower watershed supports cool & warm water species, like smallmouth bass. #CVCwatershed cvc.ca/WatershedPlan

Yet another disastrous reason why Doug Ford needs to #StopThe413 ❌ Bulldozing habitat & greenspace are reckless, short-sighted decisions made by the Premier & this govt. Ford needs to stop disregarding environmental protections! #SpeciesAtRisk #onpoli #StopHighway413

To Doug Ford: We have solutions at our fingertips that don’t require more research, studies, and task forces. It's time for real leadership to solve the #HousingCrisis. Let’s get to work. #onpoli #Housing #AffordableHousing

#CanadaDay is time to celebrate what makes our country great, and it is a time to reflect on our past and how we can make the future better especially for Indigenous peoples. Let’s commit to truth, healing and reconciliation.

#Hwy413 will pave over 400 acres in Greenbelt, 2000 acres of prime farmland, & threaten or destroy 75 wetlands. Now add to Ford's list of destruction - internal govt documents say a min of 11 species at risk live along the route. #StopThe413 #onpoli

Despite the election outcome, the fight to stop Highway 413 is far from over thestar.com/opinion/contri… via @torontostar

Doug Ford’s sprawl agenda is paving over the farms that feed us; making grocery bills even more expensive. If we want to bring costs down, we must to support #LocalFood. I'm fighting to: - Cancel #Hwy413 - Permanently protect farmland - Freeze urban boundaries #onpoli

Kudos @ElizabethMay for continuing the incredible work of @ingrid_waldron @ZannLenore +others: today her bill to confront environmental racism is one step closer to law It's past time we end harmful industries being too often sited in Black, Indigenous & marginalized communities

The Ontario Greenbelt, established in 2005, protects over 2M acres of land, including some of the most biologically rich regions in Canada. It is home to the Niagara Escarpment, Oak Ridges Moraine, and prime farmland. 6/7

Under winner-take-all systems, incl. FPTP and #RankedBallots, many/most votes cast elect no-one (federal-52%, Ontario-54%). This affects supporters of every party. Proportional voting systems ensure 80-95% of votes cast elect a rep. 3/

Today is #WorldRainforestDay and we would like to celebrate The Great Bear Rainforest, home to the Spirit Bear. This global treasure covers 66.4 million hectares on British Columbia’s north and central coast – equivalent in size to Ireland. (1/2) 📷: @JohnEMarriott

The rules were set to change in 2017 when it came to cracking down on methane pollution in Alberta. Then, they were weakened for some of the oldest and dirtiest oil and gas facilities in the province — an investigation by The Narwhal reveals. #abpoli thenarwhal.ca/alberta-climat…

Warning people about extreme heat is not an intervention when you have not ensured AC in schools, LTC, for disabled folks etc. Warnings are not enough.

Today we celebrate the significant contributions & customs of Indigenous ppls. Indigenous teachings on sustainability & community help us be better stewards of the land & water. I'm calling on the govt to support Indigenous ways of knowing: 1/2 #IndigenousPeoplesDay
