"So, opposition parties, the choice is yours. You can ... continue to split the vote, increasing the likelihood that Ford remains premier. Or you can learn from the French that... desperate times calls for desperate measures — and try something different." tvo.org/article/heres-how-to…
Lake associations gathering Saturday for @foca_info AGM to hear from experts like OPP Sgt Moffatt on life jackets, celebrate accomplishments of our members and our ED @treesatthelake at his last AGM. Thx for 20 years Terry!
Greenbelt protection is more than returning the lands to it. It needs investment. Add your voice to this campaign for the Greenbelt to be specifically considered in the 2024 budget nwmd.social/s/twitter/4AmPYV…
Conservation Authority changes - had the same level of consultation and understanding as the others they have reversed
Let's add to the list of Ford Conservative reversals! What would you want reversed next?
I have a long list, but ending the privatization of healthcare & reversing classroom cuts are at the top... oh & the Ontario Place 95 year, $650m giveaway.

Just two more flip flops to go - back off Peel Region disassembly Bill 112 & repeal changes enacted through Bill 23 to the Conservation Authorities. Faster and better is best done in working with those in the know. Time for real consultation on housing solutions
Premier Doug Ford is scrapping planned uneeded expansions to municipal boundaries in another major policy flip-flop related to the $8.28-billion #Greenbelt land swap scandal now under criminal investigation by the RCMP. #onpoli

Waterfront property owners have a “front row seat” to changes in our climate. Learn how to protect your family and your property from Cheryl Evans, Director, Flood & Wildfire Resilience; Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at FOCA’s 60th AGM and Spring Seminar on Sat. March 4th.
Glad @MikeSchreiner is considering this-there is no time for unproven leadership and unfortunately not enough space for three parties in the election races. We need more than just a jump across parties to halt the destruction of Ontario
