Today at least two individuals asked not to be filmed multiple times and
@CarymaRules
posted the exchange. This is highly unprofessional and can endanger people being filmed. (Counter protesters.)

in addition some Federally regulated workers may earn less than the average
If you ever drank coffee, alcohol, or smoked you used drugs. It’s time to stop discrimination against people addicted to currently illegal drugs.

has launched a war room against environmentalists and First Nations that oppose oil. I oppose Alberta’s oil because of wetland loss ,lack of respect for First Nations and lack of funding for remediation

I'm helping organize an event for this Thursday to protest Bill23 due to environmental deregulation included in the bill along with restrictions on public engagement, weakened municipal funding and increased urban sprawl.

It’s shocking that
@JeffLealPtbo
ignored two points of order and went on a rant which demonstrates that he does have a conflict interest that was not declared.
#ptbo
this was disgraceful behaviour. A conflict is not just financial.
I support a movement to ban transphobic, homophobic and racist signs outside all public buildings and Drag Story time events in

I ran for the Green Party as a candidate because I believe the Green Party has the best policies. I don’t believe the Liberals had the best policies when it comes to housing, the environment or disability support.
I noticed that Mayor Jeff Leal does not get the same level of criticism as Dianne Therrien did at least not on social media. It’s clear the sexism is involved.

Okay will you challenge your party position on transgender rights? Now that you say you’re inclusive. Hopefully you wished people a Happy Ramadan as it is also occurring this weekend

The Girl Guides are not part of the government or controlled by them. How is this decision pitting neighbor against neighbour exactly?

One thing often overlooked when talking about ending homelessness or the housing crisis is that unhoused people have solutions to end homelessness.

I will point out that Justin Trudeau said no such thing about parents being hateful
@mferreriptbokaw
. Kids have rights to express their identity and there are unsafe parents.
Over the last 10 years only 30 wetlands have been evaluated according to the Auditor General. "Between 1983 and 2022, a total of 2,257 wetlands in southern Ontario ...[has] been evaluated"

If biweekly pickup of garbage is rejected because of concerns about mice and rats then Council has to explain why it rejected waste collection at for encampments of unhoused people.

notice of motion regarding asking the provincial government to reverse Bill 165. Natural gas should not be forced onto residents. This is a climate emergency and there are more affordable options that aren’t fossil fuels.

No
@premierbhiggs
you are not listening and are not supporting students. You are endangering the lives of kids who don’t have supportive parents at home.
Susan Holt & Justin Trudeau don’t believe parents need be involved in such critical discussions as gender identity, even in children as young as 4.
In New Brunswick, we’ll have a safe learning environment & better mental health supports, while still respecting the parent’s role.
We should be concerned that students are left out of transit decisions and that no Councillor contacted Fleming or Trent despite both contributing millions to transit.

Please tell the government of Ontario to keep their hands off wetlands and natural spaces. Residents in

Since when are organizations forced to march or not march in parades due to the Federal Government or any other government. That would be unconstitutional.

There was a treatment centre approved by Peterborough city council which you should know. Also people with addictions are not criminals.
Today is day 133 of asking politicians to stop and reverse cuts to environmental law.

if you’re concerned about the cost of driving then maybe you should stay of the Greenbelt and increase density targets.
At Queen's Park -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford tells the opposition "not to fall in step with the federal government" and call on Ottawa to reverse the latest increase to the carbon tax.

It’s angering that Councillors don’t respect transit users or the transit union.

The committee is called “Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities” I don’t see where the carbon levy would be relevant to this committee

we have good ambulances services but, when seconds count they aren’t fast enough. Staff can save lives.
Managers at a local hotel, restaurant, and brewery all say insufficient transit service is hurting business, because employees can't get to work on time.

The Thunder Bay Field Naturalists say it well «The Complete striking out of the wetland files section is abhorrent, bad scientific process, irresponsible
@alexbierk
Why is natural spaces being used to build homes that are not affordable as 80% market value is not affordable. In addition there is an increased risk of flooding ( which can cause homelessness) and or habitat loss
🧵 thread on successful activism:
At the end of April, when all the platforms were out, was wrenching to see only

Felt very bleak. Devastating. So a bunch of us got together determined to do something. Non partisan.

All unevaluated wetlands should have at least 120 meter buffers preferably more so provincially significant wetlands aren’t developed.

From reading the section 12 of the Auditor General Act it’s within the scope of the Auditor General to examine the Greenbelt even more so if money changed hands
@CityofPickering
I disagree with the assertion that the lands are degraded so it’s okay to develop. There should be a duty to maintain provincial significance of a wetland once it is provincially significant. Yes
