#Metrolinx spills 5,000+ litres of diesel at layover site 1h north of #Toronto. Imagine 5000+ litres spilled in Toronto’s lower Don Valley. Do you still think it’s a good location to park your diesel trains Metrolinx? #ONpoli #Topoli

#Greenbelt doesn't just include protected farmland & forest outside of cities, but urban river valleys in Toronto, Oshawa, Ajax and more. If Doug Ford gets away with #Bill23 what is stopping him from destroying the parks and greenspace in heart of our cities as well? see map 👇

While public transit is most necessary, Metrolinx “vandalizing” the city’s cultural, architectural and rare green spaces is criminal.

TO staff will continue recommending inaction to reduce Toronto’s noise levels. Builders will remain free to make unlimited noise during permitted hours. Leaf blowers will continue blasting 100 dB noise in TO’s hoods, poisoning our air & killing pollinators.
