🚨 New: Big Oil’s Playbook 🚨 Tactic 2 – The “Good Neighbour” 🤝 Fossil fuel giants fund local events & projects — not out of kindness, but to buy consent and protect profits. This isn’t generosity. It’s PR to keep polluting. lnkd.in/g_cGbP6S #BigOil #ClimateJustice #ExposingThePlaybook

Toronto’s Mayor Olivia Chow declared today Single-Use Plastic Free Day. As #PlasticFreeJuly ends, this is a good reminder to the government we want Canada to be Single-Use Plastic Free every day! Tell the government to break up with single-use plastics: act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/171711/...

Once again, the Ontario government is prioritizing industry over people and the environment. This time, the attack is on water. We need to tell the government that water is not for sale! To take action, submit a comment through the ERO portal by August 1st 👉 bit.ly/4laDeSF

#Breaking—up to 66% of future investments in Canadian oil & gas could become unprofitable as global demand falls. Restricting oil and gas production can help prevent stranded assets & protect gov't revenues.

📢 Our ad hit newsstands today! Environmental groups representing over 1 million people across Canada are calling ‪@PrimeMinisterOfCanada to #FixBillC5. Bill C-5 weakens environmental protections, sidelines Indigenous rights, and could fast-track polluting projects. We need a climate-safe Canada

This year's Greenbelt review must explicitly prevent any removal of protected lands and commit to expanding protection in areas threatened by sprawl. As land speculators continue to undermine Greenbelt protections, we must remain vigilant in our efforts to protect it! #HandsOffTheGreenbelt

New findings from the Integrity Commissioner earlier this week reveal the #Greenbelt scandal continues to threaten Ontario's protected lands. The 2022-23 attempts to remove Greenbelt protections have created uncertainty for farmland that was meant to be permanent. We need stronger safeguards now.

🏡 Ontario’s housing crisis is only getting worse—fewer than half of the promised 1.5M homes will be built by 2031 unless we take radical action. Sprawl development is clearly not working, and the proof is in the numbers:
