Contrary to what General Motors and @oilgasCanada would have you believe...people are demanding EVs in record and growing numbers around the world.

Appeal of Caledon ICBL by industry- 97% of OLT decisions favour industry - the planning field is heavily tilted to industry Thankfully the Mayor and Town Council is supporting the residents

This is how Doug Ford corrupt PC MPPs behave in committee meetings. I have watched many. Playing on phones, not listening to the speaker, getting up & wandering around. NO common courtesy. My 8 year old granddaughter knows better!

I’ve never seen anything like this before.

Ford’s new Ontario Place bill prohibits lawsuits against his government with respect to anything done under the Act, including misrepresentations, misconduct, misfeasance, bad faith, breach of trust or breach of fiduciary obligation.

It shouldn't be this hard to protect vital wetlands but the system is in shambles
When will Ontario's environment ministry stand up for wetlands? Environment Ontario

BREAKING: So B.C. has been lobbying the Feds to *not* issue an order to protect endangered Spotted Owl habitat? Tell us why the public had to find out through the media — and not the govt itself — about this shady backchanneling.

It's beyond unacceptable.

BC is ignoring upstream fracking pollution when assessing LNG projects. Current two approved projects would result in total oil and gas sector emissions in 2030 that are double the sectoral emissions target. Net zero? Not so much policynote.ca/the-energy-act…

Lazy days of summer.....make sure to keep watch on Ontario’s Greenbelt: I think Doug Ford Steve Clark Ontario PC Party are hoping everyone will move on to the next thing. NOT a chance -- thenarwhal.ca/topics/ontario…

This—plus the irreversible environmental impacts of paving over critical agricultural lands—is why I've asked the Auditor General to investigate...

...an investigation that De Gasperis has now lawyered up to try and avoid.

Duffins Rouge was the Greenbelt’s ‘crown jewel.’ Over 5 days in June, developers bought 524 acres of it: thenarwhal.ca/greenbelt-gold…

Turns out it's harder and more expensive than @FordNation expected to build sprawl mcmansions in the middle of farm fields, forests and wetlands.
Guess who's going to pay? (hint: not big developers) theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

As foolish as it is that Councillors will be sitting down with developers to 'negotiate' how to best pave over the Greenbelt, there's still opportunities for us all to demand that our elected representatives to do the right thing! Who's coming to the meeting in August? 🙋
