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

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.

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!

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
ALT Ontario Greens call for housing solutions including: Allowing for triplexes and fourplexes as of right in all neighbourhoods, prezoning for midrise on transit corridors, requiring minimum densities along transit corridors.

#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.
This Canada Day, as we celebrate, we also commit to the ongoing, active process of reconciliation. #CanadaDay

#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.

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

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
Hooray! #C226 to confront environmental racism just passed 2nd Reading - All Liberals, NDP, Greens and @KevinVuongTO voting FOR. Not one CPC or Bloc vote. 177-146. Closer to being law! @ZannLenore @ingrid_waldron @DavidSuzukiFDN @TomLiacas @AmitaKuttner #GPC

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/

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.
