Today's federal budget puts nearly $90-billion toward capital spending, national defense, housing & economic growth. But one thing is missing: nature.
Instead, it incl:
❌ The possible end of the oil & gas emissions cap
❌ Cuts to ECCC & the DFO
❌ No new funding to protect or restore biodiversity

⚠️ Ontario’s new Species Conservation Act could strip away protections for 106 at-risk species — incl the piping plover, monarch butterfly & yellow-banded bumble bee.
🗣️ Add your voice: wwf.ca/endangered-species-are-not-red-tape
Tell ON to protect species, not weaken the laws meant to safeguard them.

Canada sued over delay in protecting endangered killer whales
An 'imminent threat' assessment in November 2024 set a ticking legal clock that requires two ministers to recommend an emergency order to Cabinet — but they have yet to do so.
