A spokesperson for the Law Society of Ontario (LSO) says Metrolinx began cutting down historic trees at Osgoode Hall in Toronto on Saturday before the Ontario Superior Court could hear an injunction to prevent their clearing.
#Metrolinx started clear cutting #OsgoodeHall’s 200 year old trees hours before the injunction hearing at 2PM. This Ford led government has no respect for the citizens it represents nor the laws it supposedly governs.
Councillor Josh Matlow was able to reopen the adjacent city sidewalk for which the province didn’t take out permits, stopping the tree cutting.
The court hears the case at 2PM. Zoom Link: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/69022516465?pwd=YXo1ZExHMmszREVwckdzTWZ2b3lxQT09
Why do I feel like the lawyers will win?
