Doug Ford Is Trying To Pave Over Our Greenbelt – AGAIN

Help Stop Ford Government’s Bill 5

The Bill just passed second reading at Queen’s Park and is headed to committee. Now is your chance for your voice to be heard.

A Message And a Call For Our Action from Ontario’s Green Party

Posted May 9^th, 2025 on Niagara At Large

Bill 5 will give Doug Ford unprecedented power to trample over environmental protections, First Nations rights, and worker health & safety laws to pave over whatever he wants – and yes that includes the Greenbelt.

Ford wants Ontarians to believe that these values are “red tape” – and that shredding them is the only way to strengthen our economy.

Ontario Greens know that this is not true. Environmental assessments, worker protections, and Indigenous rights are not red tape.

Protecting natural heritage, farmland and wetlands protects us from flooding, maintains critical carbon sinks and defends our food sovereignty. Health and safety laws protect workers. The duty to consult is in the Constitution.
