This summer, we managed to halt the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport together.

But Doug Ford still has control over our Toronto Islands because of Bill 5. Last year we thought it farfetched that he would use these laws the destroy Toronto’s greenspaces, but hindsight is 20/20, and we can see now that was exactly the plan.

The fight to protect our Island and city lands isn’t over until Ford returns them to Toronto. We paused the airport thanks to everyone getting together and organizing. We have to do the same again until Ford leaves Toronto alone.

We won this this first fight to protect our Toronto Islands, but we have to stay vigilant.
The Ford government still has control of these lands and until they’re given back to the city, our schools, wild spaces and public recreation are all still at risk.

This is the government that called tens of thousands of us “fringe” for wanted to preserve these magical spaces.

But this pause on the Billy Bishop expansion shows us that the way we win is together 🤝. The NDP is fighting for what matters to you. I’m hopeful that better is possible.

Many migrant workers have little to no protections from grueling working conditions that only get more difficult as climate change results in rising temperatures and an increase in storms and wildfires.

The NDP is committed to fighting for real worker protections against growing dangers of climate change so that everyone can expect to come home from work safely. We have a plan to keep homes, schools, and work places safe during the hottest days of the year.

There's a a lot to be concerned with when it comes to the Government—corruption, unilateral land grabs, non-existant environmental protections—but it's important to remember that they are on the back foot.

What they are doing isn't popular and they need to hear from all of us, in a united voice. That's how we win better policy for all of us.

Call your MPP and keep calling. Let them know what you think.
