FACT CHECK ✅ $2.5B from LCBO sales funds our province?! taxes + SALES = public revenue for schools & hospitals 🥂 That’s why WE lose out when alcohol sales are privatized. STOP FORD from handing YOUR DOLLARS to BILLIONAIRES.🤑 keepitpublic.ca #FordsDrySummer

The @OntarioNDP are calling on this government to cancel this shady deal with Therme that uses taxpayer dollars to build a private spa at #OntarioPlace instead of investing in health care, education and housing. #ONpoli

As fall migration brought a pulse of birds through Chicago early Thursday, a single building killed a staggering 964 birds. It's an extreme case of an all-too-common phenomenon & has amplified calls for broader changes to stop preventable collision deaths. audubon.org/news/more-1000-b…

This is a map of the Province of Ontario. The Greenbelt is a sliver of land in the context of the Province. I was going to draw it on the map but it was as thin as a pencil line at this scale. But an important pencil line - it is the richest farmland in the entire province. It is also the Carolinian forest - which contains an extremely high biodiversity of species, over 500 of which are considered rare on a global scale. The Greenbelt was created to ensure we didn't pave over this rich farmland. It was created to halt sprawl. The #GreenbeltGrab has never been about a shortage of land. Look at this Province! There is so much abundant land that isn't Greenbelt. The #GreenbeltGiveaway has never been about building housing, either. It is about the profit, the uplift in value, that comes from re-designating agricultural land to residential land. Uplift in value. At the expense of prime, irreplaceable agricultural land. That's what this is about.

We followed the first foreign firefighters to arrive in Quebec to help fight Canada's worst wildfire season on record. Some of the blazes were 100 times bigger than any they had ever seen, they said. Here's what our journalist saw on the ground. nyti.ms/3CMQCst

Tensions between the Ford government and Mississauga have reached new heights after the province overruled more than a decade of local planning, allowing a developer to almost double the size of a major waterfront project. globalnews.ca/news/9699394/m… #onpoli

Why care about one rare species? Why care about one wetland, or any other seemingly random place? Ultimately, it comes down to understanding why conservation and nature are important at all, writes @KbaCanada's @PeterSoroye in @cottagelife. bit.ly/3V2ss5q #ForNature
