About Bill 5 and Bill 17 –
Bill 5 and Bill 17 will give Ford’s cabinet Trump-like powers to override existing law, rules and authorities. They will scrap Endangered Species Legislation, create Lawless “Special Economic Zones”, deny rights to Indigenous peoples, ban the importation of Green Energy components, protect the Ford government from lawsuits and scrap Green Development standards.
.A Pop Up Protest against the Ford government’s Bill 5 and Bill 17, is being held on Tuesday, June 3rd from 6 to 8 p.m. in front of MPP Sam Oosterhoff’s office which is in a plaza at 4961 King St, Beamsville, ON L0R 1B0.
The Bills give Trump-like powers to cabinet, scrap Endangered Species Legislation, create Lawless Economic Zones, deny Indigenous Rights, ban Green Energy components and Green Development standards and indemnify the Ford government from lawsuits.
The Ford government’s recent announcements are part of its ongoing and unprecedented assault on good governance, Ontario’s environment, on good planning and on citizens’ rights and the rights of Indigenous peoples.
It is urgent that citizens speak up and show up now.
A picket line will be formed along the public sidewalk on King Street in front of the Plaza so that traffic is not impeded to the plaza’s businesses.
