[All] Vote!, Electoral Cooperation, Toyota Named In Wilmot Land Assembly Fiasco, Wilmot Decides Tax Increase, Greenbelt Celebrations, And More!

Thu Feb 27 00:55:41 EST 2025

Good Day,

Ensure you and everyone you know gets out to vote on Thursday, there’s been lots of news about electoral co-operation, Toyota has been named by The Record and The Narwhal as the target for the Wilmot mega-industrial site, Wilmot Township decides on an 18.2% tax increase, the Greenbelt turns 20, and more.

Here’s the latest:

1) Get Out And Vote! - This is a critical time - some are calling it an emergency. We have the opportunity to hold Doug Ford and the PCs accountable for the harm and damage of their legislation and policies, their wasteful spending and lack of transparency, their inaction on the recommendations of the Auditor General and Integrity Commissioner reports, the ongoing RCMP investigation, disastrous plans such as the Wilmot land assembly, Highway 413 and the ludicrous tunnel under the 401, billions in wasteful spending while making cuts to publicly funded healthcare and education, failing on housing affordability and homelessness, legislation and policy changes that allow the paving over of wetlands and habitat for species at risk, closures and destruction of Ontario Place and Ontario Science Centre to benefit private interests, cuts to environmental protections, emission reductions as well as harm reduction programs. The Ford government has taken steps that undermine democracy and our rights - and there is evidence of irregularities in their campaign advertising spending and voter suppression on top of calling this unnecessary snap election in the depths of winter.

It is possible to prevent a Ford majority as Cooperate for Canada has outlined (more below).   Find your voting location here using your postal code:

Action Required - Be sure to vote - employers must ensure you have at least 3 hours to vote. Bring your family and friends to vote too. Offer to give rides to people who may have trouble getting to their voting location.

2) Support Unity Candidates - Cooperate for Canada (C4C) has identified Unity Candidates (UCs) - the person most likely do defeat the Conservative candidate for ridings where Doug Ford’s PCs are vulnerable.  The C4C team analyzed polling data, conducted interviews, and considered other factors such as electoral history and campaign strength in the UC selection process. It is critical for progressive voters to unite, prevent vote-splitting, and ensure the UC wins.

Unity Candidates for Grand River Watershed - plus a few other key ridings include:
	Brantford-Brant: Harvey Bischof, NDP
	Cambridge: Rob Deutschmann, Liberal
	Haldimand Norfolk: Bobbi Ann Brady, Independent 
	Kitchener Centre: Aislinn Clancy, Green Party
	Kitchener-Conestoga: Jodi Szimanski, NDP
	Kitchener South-Hespeler: Jeff Donkersgoed, NDP
	Waterloo: Catherine Fife, NDP

	Welllington-Halton Hills: Bronwynn Wilton, Green Party
	Parry Sound Muskoka: Matt Richter, Green Party

Full list of UCs for Ontario with explanation of cooperation: https://cooperateforcanada.ca/heres-how-you-can-help-ontario/

Note: A UC has not been identified when a riding where the progressive candidate is considered ‘Safe’. For example Guelph, the riding for incumbent Mike Schreiner, Leader of the Green Party of Ontario is considered ‘Safe’ for the GPO. If cooperation is considered ineffective to prevent a PC win (when the support for the PC candidate is very strong), no Unity Candidate has been identified.  In ridings where a UC has not been identified, the recommendation is to vote for the party that best aligns with your values.

Action Required - Be sure to vote for the candidate most likely to defeat the Conservative candidate to help ensure better election outcomes.  Please pay attention to the Unity Candidates recommended by Cooperate for Canada listed above, in particular if you are in Kitchener Centre please encourage your friends and family in the riding to re-elect UC Green Party MPP Aislinn Clancy as the race is super-tight and there is a misconception that all the Green candidates in the region have bowed out in order not to split the vote - that is not the case in Kitchener-Centre where Aislinn is determined to be re-elected and return to Queen’s Park.

3) Unity Heroes! - Cooperate for Canada and Not One Seat (C4C’s partner working in Toronto ridings) are celebrating three candidates who made the courageous choice to step back and endorse the Unity Candidate for their riding to help prevent a PC win as a result of vote splitting:

	Eglinton Lawrence (Toronto): Natasha Doyle-Merrick, NDP candidate withdrew from the race just before the ballot printing deadline and endorsed the UC Liberal candidate:

4) Toyota Revealed As Identity Of Potential Customer For Wilmot Mega-Industrial Site - In an impressive joint investigative effort between The Waterloo Region Record newspaper and The Narwhal news magazine, it has been revealed that Toyota is being targeted for the Wilmot industrial mega-site though both the Region of Waterloo and the Province admit that no end user has been lined up for the site.

This isn’t surprising since from the onset of the expropriation threats last March it has been rumoured that it was for some sort of Toyota EV battery plant.  However, even though Toyota is a well-liked, local employer of over 8,000 people it doesn’t change the facts behind the fiasco of this bungled assembly and that this is simply the wrong location with far too many negative impacts for our communities.

There is little chance that a reputable company such as Toyota that has high ethics and green standards will go anywhere near such a poorly planned, controversial site that will damage so much of our agricultural and food industries.  Even with Toyota’s Woodstock location there were far better selection processes and very creative First Nations agreements for solar energy, tree planting, and long-term land usage.  The First Nations haven’t even been consulted about this Wilmot mega-industrial site, let alone included in planning.

If we are going to attract Toyota and compete against Texas and Tennessee we need a better location that meets more than only 7 of 44 criteria, has far less negative impacts, has at least some of the very expensive required infrastructure that this proposed Wilmot site lacks, is financially viable, and has the broad support of the community.  This Wilmot site simply comes at too high of a cost to our farms, environment, water, and rural communities.  It is contrary to all planning, Official Plans, Master Plans, farmland protection, and stands to disrupt and destroy so much that is integral to the high quality of life we all currently enjoy across Waterloo Region.

Mega-industrial developments of this scale need to be where there is the infrastructure and thousands of potential employees - not a 50km round trip from our urban centres of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge where there is already the necessary infrastructure and it was always assumed that any industrial developments would be built on the thousands of acres of already approved employment lands.

	https://thenarwhal.ca/ontario-wilmot-land-assembly-toyota/

Action Required - Call or write elected officials at Wilmot Township, the Region of Waterloo and the provincial government and tell them to finally abandon this absurd Wilmot industrial mega-site location - that we are an UNWILLING community, the landowners have made it clear they are UNWILLING, and a better plan is needed.

5) Wilmot Land Assembly Defining The Provincial Election - There is little doubt the Wilmot mega-industrial site has been the defining issue of the provincial election in much of the Grand River watershed.  We have seen every party leader questioned and speaking out about it and all opposition parties are promising to end it, further protect farmland, and strengthen the Greenbelt.

We anticipate a second 10 year review of the Greenbelt later this year.  Let’s make sure the importance and benefits of the Greenbelt along with calls for Greenbelt expansion across the Grand River Watershed is heard loud and clear.

The Greenbelt continues to be in the news with a Conservative candidate claiming Doug Ford’s Greenbelt carve up video is fake and how the Greenbelt continues to be a key election issue:

8) Wilmot Tax Increase - Grand River watershed residents living in Wilmot Township may be horrified by Council finally approving this week a staggering 18.2% property tax hike - well beyond inflation or any increase seen in other municipalities however it is well below the unfathomable 51% tax increase originally proposed.

9) Highway #413 - Kudos’s to everyone who came out to this past Saturday’s rally in Orangeville!  It was great to see citizens continuing to stand up and send a strong message against this unnecessary highway to the province.

 Environmental Defence has released an online post about Highway #413 - The destructive, expensive and unnecessary highway.  Check it out at:

	https://environmentaldefence.ca/2025/01/29/highway-413-the-destructive-expensive-and-unnecessary-highway/

Upcoming Highway #413 Strategic Planning Session - The fight against Highway #413 continues with a planning session on Friday, March 14th from 10am to 2pm near the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.  Please register at:

	https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeRB_goO-XHtohKAaBqdDqyb5hMdT8uxt_7HL_oGEjUovc-aw/viewform

Great Rally in Orangeville - A big thank you to Sharon Sommerville from Headwaters Against The 413 for organizing a successful rally against Highway #413.  For a very cold, damp day there was a great turnout of about 45 people that occupied all four corners across from Deputy Leader Syliva Jones constituency office.  Speakers included Dan O’Reilly whose family farm will be impacted by the highway, a teacher whose student’s family will have their home expropriated, Mike Marcolongo with Environmental Defence who gave an overview of the significant environmental impacts of the highway, and Sharon Sommerville who got the crowd moving to the sounds of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell”.  Between “Highway to Hell” and “Thunderstruck” it was a most memorable rally!

Recent Access To Information and Privacy (ATIP) Request - Environmental Defence with assistance from Ecojustice recently received more documents from the Impact Agency of Canada on the Highway #413 project.  Included in the memo were timelines for environmental assessment consultation, federal permit applications, duty to consult timelines, and anticipated construction start times.  It was revealed that in November, 2024, Ontario expects to start construction at the earliest three years from now.  Given what we know about this government’s construction timelines (e.g. Eglinton Crosstown LRT construction started in 2011 with completion expected in 2020 but it has yet to open in 2025), it is very possible that shovels won’t be in the ground by the next Ontario election in 2029.

Action Required - Join the fight and continue to keep speaking out against this absurd and unaffordable highway.

F) We Can’t Afford Ford By Susan Koswan:

Hard as it is to look away from the train wreck in US politics, we must focus on our own in Ontario. By wasting billions on cancelled contracts, legal fees and more, he is laying waste to environmental protection, climate action, and a healthier and better educated population. 
A sample of why Ford has to go on February 27:

Economy

·       $1.4 billion to cancel beer store contracts and expand beer and liquor sales into a larger marketplace

·       $230 million to cancel clean energy contracts

·       $1.1 billion lost revenue cancelling vehicle license fees

·       $2 billion dollars plus on Ontario Place redevelopment plans that were not “fair, transparent or accountable”

·       $4.3 million in legal fees plus $4.1 billion in backpay for Bill 124, ruled unconstitutional by the Ontario Court of Appeal 

·       $103.5 million on advertising, $63.7 million of which was ads to “promote the governing party.”

·       $19.4 billion - the largest contingency fund in Ontario history 

·       $145.3 million plus for this election 

·       $3 billion for the $200/person “rebate” of our own money

Ontario Healthcare

·       “Hallway medicine” increased, now averaging 2000/people/day in the province

·       400 emergency room closures in 2022/23

·       "Since Doug Ford took office in 2018, the number of nurses leaving the system has increased every year…For every 10 nurses this government says have been hired, six have left." Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) Provincial President Erin Ariss <https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/ontario-nurses-association-celebrates-second-bill-124-legal-victory-as-ford-government-loses-its-appeal-of-earlier-decision-815337369.html>, RN

·       Hospital and long term care staffing shortages met by increased reliance on for-profit agencies at double and sometimes triple the cost with no salary cap 

·       Long term care lacking “fully effective systems and procedures to ensure that residents receive quality care and services.”  

Environment

·       Repealed all protective environmental and climate change legislation

·       Violated Environmental Bill of Rights multiple times

·       Excessive use of Ministerial Zoning Orders (MZOs) ignoring local planning and environmental assessments

·       Tripled <https://www.cleanairalliance.org/campaigns/gas/> energy from polluting gas-power plants since 2017

·       Financially backing the contentious Wilmot land assembly 

·       $48 million to remove Toronto bike lanes

Housing

·       Legislative changes that deepened the housing crisis with increased urban sprawl, destruction of farmland, new highway plans, and unaffordable rent due to multiple loopholes <https://policyalternatives.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/Ontario%20Office/2024/04/rent-control-in-ontario.pdf>
·       Greenbelt scandal, still under RCMP investigation. “Owners of the 15 land sites removed from the Greenbelt could ultimately see a collective $8.3 billion increase to the value of their properties.” 

Education

·       “Public schools are receiving $1,500 less per student compared to 2018, when the Ford government was first elected.” Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario <https://www.etfo.ca/news-publications/media-releases/fall-economic-statement-2024>
Culture

·       Shuttered and demolished Ontario Science Centre against government’s own expert advice <https://www.canadianarchitect.com/the-true-cost-of-repairing-the-ontario-science-centre-is-much-much-less-than-what-infrastructure-ontario-has-been-saying-and-the-proof-is-in-its-own-documents/>
·       Privatizing Ontario Place, including clearcutting 800 trees, and threatening and displacing local wildlife and ecosystems with sewage overflow plan

On top of it, Doug Ford is “100 percent happy” about Trump getting re-elected, and trash-talking how electing Liberal Bonnie Crombie or NDP Marit Styles would be “an absolute disaster.”   

We can’t ignore what the Office of the Auditor General of Ontario <https://www.auditor.on.ca/en/content/annualreports/arbyyear/ar2024.html>, Financial Accountability Office of Ontario <https://fao-on.org/en/report/2024-25-expenditure-monitor-q2/>, Ontario Federation of Labour’s Ford Tracker <https://ofl.ca/ford-tracker/>, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario’s Policy and Political Action <https://rnao.ca/policy>, and Environmental Defence Protecting Ontario’s Environment <https://environmentaldefence.ca/campaign/protecting-ontarios-environment/> are telling us.

If any or all of this resonates with you, take the pledge—both provincial and federal—with Cooperate for Canada <https://cooperateforcanada.ca/voting-pledges/> to find the Unity Candidate in your riding.

Doug Ford was elected premier seven years ago on a promise to address our multiple and overlapping crises. The cost of housing was skyrocketing, family doctors were highly coveted but rarely found, schools were crumbling. Ford reasonably argued that the Liberals had had their chance and failed. He vowed to do better. Now, as Ford and his Progressive Conservatives ask for your vote for a third time, consider this: each of the crises he promised to fix has gotten worse.

Under Ford’s leadership, population growth continues to outpace housing supply, driving ever upward the cost of homes and rent. Many young people can’t afford to live in the city where they work. Many Ontarians are fleeing the province for more affordable locales. Meanwhile, the homeless population is rising and food-bank demand continues to soar. Ford recognizes the problem. He promised to build 1.5 million new homes and created a task force to advise him on how to do it. Then he ignored most of its recommendations.

Or consider the family-doctor crisis that has tormented so many Ontarians and further strained an already overburdened health-care system. Ford’s health ministry said last year that this was “not a major concern.” Then, under political pressure, the government finally released something of a plan. But compare it to the more robust and detailed proposals of any other major party, and you’d be forgiven for thinking the PCs were still not majorly concerned.  

On education, Ford deserves credit for making record investments in our K-12 system. Nevertheless, after seven years, our schools are falling apart. Some 84 per cent of Toronto public schools are in substandard condition, according to the Financial Accountability Office. Meanwhile, amid persistent staffing shortages, boards are sometimes bringing in untrained replacement teachers to try to manage badly overcrowded and under-resourced classrooms.

All this has not come cheap. The Ford government has increased the province’s debt by more than $116 billion, running multibillion-dollar deficits every year and earning the ire of conservative groups such as the Fraser Institute in the process. Some of this spending, such as on education and infrastructure, was needed. But far too much has been spent on cynical politicking: More than $3 billion for the $200 cheques the province sent to every adult, including very rich ones. More than $600 million to get beer and wine in corner stores one year early. Nearly $200 million for an early election, which Ford said was necessary so he could get a clear mandate to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump. Never mind that he already had a clear mandate, especially to deal with the crises in housing, health care and education that have worsened during his tenure.

Ford is not without redeeming qualities. He connects with people. Many seem to trust him as safe hands during tumultuous times. He has professionalized his office after a shambolic first phase of his premiership, one marked by outrageous statements, senseless policy lurches and shocking cronyism. He has often worked effectively with the federal government, despite political differences, making significant and much-needed investments in infrastructure. His willingness to change his mind, as he did on the Greenbelt — and, it seems, on Trump — is laudable, even if we’d rather he showed more discernment in the first place.

And to be sure, the PCs have faced significant headwinds. The pandemic and the persistent high interest rates and supply-chain disruptions that resulted would have made transformative progress difficult for any government.

But in hard times, Ford and his PCs have too often chosen easy political gimmicks, showing themselves to be not as serious as the challenges we face.

Fortunately, Ontarians have three credible alternatives, and a vote for any would be a well-spent vote for change. The Liberals, NDP and Greens have all put forward a slate of serious proposals that, if implemented, would at least put a dent in the defining challenges of the moment. Each understands the need to invest urgently to build more homes, recruit more doctors and do more to restore the province’s education system.   

Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie, for instance, has at times proved a worthy adversary for Ford. An effective critic of the government’s record, she seems to get under the PC leader’s skin. When she became Liberal leader, having spent a decade as mayor of Mississauga, she took over a party in the wilderness. She deserves credit, if the polls are any indication, for bringing it back into the political mainstream. Her party’s platform contains many sensible, moderate proposals that seem suited to the political moment, though she would do well to be more forthright about how she’s going to pay for them. Efficiencies alone would not cover billions in new spending, particularly if the Liberals were to follow through with their proposed deep tax cuts.    

Marit Stiles’s NDP has made a persuasive case that there can be no solution to the province’s cost-of-living crisis without active government, including robust social programs. The party’s platform is full of bold ideas worthy of consideration, though again, the gap between proposed new revenues and proposed new spending is troubling, as is the plan to increase the capital gains tax in this moment of Trump-induced investment uncertainty. Stiles is an articulate, authentic and likable politician. But two years into her tenure as NDP leader, she’s still struggling to get the attention of Ontarians. The province would be better off if she could find a way to change that.  

Green leader Mike Schreiner is a chipper wonk whose enthusiasm for policy is infectious. His platform offers perhaps the most nuanced approach to the housing crisis, recognizing a role for both market and government solutions. Urged to run for the Liberal leadership in 2023, Schreiner admirably chose instead the slow and doubtless frustrating work of building the Green caucus one seat at a time. 

As comforting as continuity may seem, what Ontario needs is change. Liberals, NDP, Greens: take your pick. A vote for any is a vote for a better Ontario.
