🧵What’s #Bill23?
Prioritizing corporate profit over people and the environment is in @fordnation’s playbook. The fight to #ProtectTheGreenbelt is at the intersection of climate and housing justice. Here’s why thousands are mobilizing to #StopBill23 👇 #HandsOffTheGreenbelt 1/8

Last month Doug Ford tabled a new law, #Bill23, to eviscerate our pristine Greenbelt, breaking his promise to leave it alone.
Bill 23 is dangerous. It’s an attack on the environment and democracy—all under the mask of expanding housing. #StopBill23 #ONpoli 2/8

#Bill23 would allow Ford to take 7,400 acres of farmland and natural areas and strip environmental protections that protect wildlife, keep our drinking water safe, guard wetlands, and ensure flood protection. #StopBill23 #ONpoli 3/8
As the climate crisis worsens, destroying land that provides protection, carbon sequestration, and local food makes NO sense.
On top of that, Ford is undermining municipalities’ planning power and foregoing requirements for public consultations. #StopBill23 #ONpoli 4/8

Ford is reducing developer fees and overriding municipal zoning laws to help corporate land developers profit big from the proposal.
#Bill23 is a disaster we can’t afford as we stare down the barrel of a housing and climate crisis. #StopBill23 #ONpoli 5/8

If passed, #Bill23 will let developers ignore environmental laws and prevent real progress on affordable housing.
It would allow developers to set aside a mere 5% for affordable housing—developers whose main focus is profit, not liveable, safe, green communities. #StopBill23 6/8

The good news? Public outrage is growing and there’s still time to stop #Bill23. Rallies have been happening across the province, and a growing network is working to roll back Ford’s plan. People power has won before, and it can win again. #StopBill23 7/8
