https://davidsuzuki.org/action/stop-highway-413/ We’re in a climate crisis, but Ontario wants to build a new mega-highway through the protected Greenbelt.
If Highway 413 goes ahead, it will rip through some of southern Ontario’s last remaining countryside, cutting down forests and threatening precious farmland and species at risk.
It will destroy wetlands and pave 8.8 million square metres of ground.
And it will divert billions of dollars from transit solutions, like electric buses and light rail, that could address the climate emergency.
But Highway 413 can still be stopped, if the federal government says No!
Please tell Canada’s new environment minister you oppose Highway 413 — while there’s still time. #LandDefence #SaveTheGreenBelt #Ontario #FightDougFord #petition #ecology
Stop Highway 413!

Tell the federal government to stop Highway 413! Please tell Canada’s environment minister you oppose the highway while there’s still time.

I planted wild strawberries in my backyard in 2020. This summer, they’ve spread everywhere and I’ve been picking a handful every day. They’re a gift from the earth, & a delicious reward for working hard at healing the land. I added compost, infusions of soil from a nearby forest, & planted native species. When I first moved here in 2016, almost nothing grew there because of pool chemicals & dog shit. Now it’s thriving and a favourite place for local wildlife to chill. #LandDefence #strawberries

Yesterday I saw my first bumblebee of the year. She was buzzing along a pristine lawn looking for something to eat. I hope she found the dandelions on the next lawn over. Lawns are food deserts for pollinators. Weedkillers starve bees. Pesticides kill more than just the pests. They kill bees & songbirds, too. Don’t make life harder for them (and us). Grow native species so our nonhuman relations have a fighting chance. #ecology #LandDefence #UrbanWildlife #Pollinators #Lawn #FoodDesert #LandBack

Congrats to all those that have been involved in this cause, most especially to the people of Grassy Narrows.

Let's hope and continue to fight for those responsible for the toxic mercury in their community to soon be held to account and repair that issue too.

‘We will never give up on defending our land’: Ontario declares 10-year logging ban in Grassy Narrows

In a letter to Chief Rudy Turtle of the Asubpeeschoseewagong Netum Anishinabek First Nation, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry said it has abandoned its plans to open up a portion of the First Nation’s traditional forest to commercial logging for the next 10 years.

Humans are not a virus, not a plague. We are joyful and playful creatures of the earth who create better spaces, increase biodiversity, and help with the managing of forests, prairies, wetlands....

Now I want you to think about why some humans are still this, and big groups are not. Try to keep away from fascistic concepts - think systems.

The fixing it part? Listen to Indigenous land defenders, hunters, farmers... listen to Indigenous people
