The Dresden Landfill is exactly what Bill 5 was written for. It’s taking Ontario in the wrong direction.

A future working people can afford won’t be built through division and power grabs. It will be built through partnership. That’s the Ontario I believe in. That’s why I’m all in.

The Ford Government already unleashed coyotes on Liberty Village with their sloppy destruction of animal habitat at West Island, a few of which were euthanized today. Now the Ford Government wants carte Blanche to destroy fish habitat around Ontario Place. Say no to Bill 5! #topoli #onpoli
