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.🤑

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.

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.

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
