Ford’s latest scheme threatens Greenbelt and safe drinking water

“Doug Ford’s new bill will make things even worse for people — not better. He is taking us backwards by cutting rules that keep drinking water safe, and allowing Ontario’s cherished Greenbelt to be bulldozed. It’s deeply troubling that Ford has once again chosen his wealthy developer friends over Ontario families and the environment.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Ford try to hand over Ontario’s protected Greenbelt to developers. Video leaked out of Ford making a secret backroom deal with developers just before the election to allow development on the protected land. When he got caught, he said he wouldn’t do it — but it looks like his favour to those developers matters more to him than his commitment to families.
Ford’s dangerous legislation targets not only our drinking water and the Greenbelt, but rules that keep children safe in care, and ensure workers get some basic respect at work. New Democrats are analyzing the bill and its disastrous implications and will have more to say going forward.”

Support Our Students Stop Cuts to OSAP
Ontario has the highest tuition rates in Canada, lowest per-student funding from the province and highest student debt, and the government’s changes, will only make the situation worse.

Please return completed petitions to our office 177 King St. West Dundas ON.
TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO:
Whereas Ontario has the highest tuition rates in Canada, lowest per-student funding from the province and highest student debt, and the government’s changes, will only make the situation worse
Whereas Removing the interest-free six-month grace period means students will end up paying more, and are pressured to pay their loans even before finding a job or starting a career
Whereas The Conservatives’ decision to cancel grants and force students to take loans instead is another barrier to college and university
Therefore, we the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows: Direct the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities to reverse the recently announced OSAP cuts, protect the existing tuition grants, and reinstate the six-month interest-free grace period after graduation.

Whereas Ford’s changes will rip over 1 Billion dollars out of Ontario’s education system by the end of the government’s term;
And Whereas kids in Ontario deserve more opportunities, not fewer;
Therefore, we the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to:
Demand that the government halt the cuts to classrooms and invest to strengthen public education in Ontario.
