Doug Ford and the PC government have made one thing clear:
They’re not here to protect your community.
They’re here to help their friends profit.

This isn't economic policy.
It’s autocratic planning—top-down control with zero community say.
We don’t need “zones” where the law doesn’t apply.
We need affordable, climate-ready communities built with the people—not against them.

It’s a playbook built on:
🔹 Deregulation
🔹 Secret deals
🔹 Silencing dissent
🔹 Selling out communities to big developers

The Greenbelt grab was just the beginning.
Bill 5 is the sequel.
This time, Ford wants the power to override laws anywhere in Ontario.

There’s no public debate.
No accountability.
No rules—just raw power.
Sound familiar?
Trump used “emergencies” to break rules and help his allies.
Ford’s doing the same here.

In a SEZ, Ford’s government can:
❌ Cancel environmental protections
❌ Override local planning
❌ Ignore Indigenous consultation
❌ Shut out public input
All so his hand-picked “trusted developers” can do what they want.

At the heart of Bill 5 is something called Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
These let Ford’s Cabinet pick spots in Ontario where normal laws no longer apply.

The precedent is chilling: SEZs under Bill 5 could spread across Ontario, gutting local, environmental & labour protections.

SEZs allow mega-projects to bypass zoning, planning, and environmental protections. This could pave the way for unchecked development in your neighborhood. Local governments? Irrelevant. 🏠🚧

Schedule 9 creates unaccountable Special Economic Zones where environmental and social regulations are gutted. It’s a corporate dream and a community nightmare. 🏗️💰
