BREAKING: Ontario just rammed through a dangerous bill stripping power from local governments – including their ability to protect residents from fossil fuel pollution.

#ONpoli #SAFECities #OntarioBill17 #StopBill17
Background photo of BC legislature building. BREAKING icon in top left corner of image. Text reads “Ontario strips local governments' power to protect residents from pollution” “Bill 17 was undemocratically rammed through without time for public input or debate. It blocks the ability of local governments to prevent fossil fuel pollution in buildings.

When I was young, I couldn't wait to be able to drive everywhere. Now I'm the old, I can't wait to not have to drive everywhere. There are parts of this city you cannot safely get to at all without a motor vehicle. And parts you cannot safely bike to. #yyt #masstransit #safecities

Doug Ford has successfully rammed through a bill to try to stop Ontario cities from making decisions for themselves, including on how to build homes 🏡

This is an attack on local efforts to phase out fossil fuels 😡

Tell him to back off: safecities.earth/Bill17

Doug Ford is trampling on cities’ rights. We need to push back.
Tell provincial officials to get out of the way of progress and local climate action!
