From brianlilley: Ford needs to ignore radical environmentalists who oppose building anything at all onpoli
It was just last June that voters in this province were asked to make a choice between building the infrastructure we need or listening to the demands of the environmental movement. Andrea Horwath’s New Democrats and Steven Del Duca’s Liberals fully embraced the positions of the faux green movement.As the Canadian national soccer teams head to their respective FIFA World Cups, Derek Van Diest is on the scene to cover all the action.
Now, though, we’re treated to stories about how more than 17,000 people have signed a petition put forward by the David Suzuki Foundation calling on the federal government to stop the provincial government from building Highway 413.
Michael Tibollo even won the riding of Vaughan-Woodbridge with 19,340 votes, more than the petition getting all the media attention and more than Liberal leader Del Duca, who campaigned strongly on stopping the highway. PC candidates Hardeep Grewal and Graham McGregor both won in Brampton, taking seats from the NDP by campaigning strongly for the highway.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
The proposed expansion of Southlake Regional Health Centre is unanimously supported by the local council but its location on the Greenbelt is opposed by so-called environmentalists. If you want proof that these activists are more about partisan politics than preserving the environment, look to their track record.

Rouleau Commission testimony provided a closer look at what we already knewOTTAWA—The Public Order Emergency Commission has come to a close. It may have been the biggest political yawn in commission history. Most inquiries dig into the background of political decisions that reveal much to the ordinary public. From the Krever Inquiry to the Gomery Commission, these proceedings usually provide riveting coverage and fodder for political opponents. In the case of the Krever Inquiry, formally known as the Commission of Inquiry on the Blood System in Canada, the government was dealing with the thousands of victims of tainted blood from AIDS to hepatitis victims. Justice John Gomery, through the Commission of Inquiry into the Sponsorship Program and Advertising Activities, gave us a look into the inner workings of the Liberal Party, and the public was shocked by the exposure of malfeasance. Then-prime minister Paul Martin, who launched the commission, eventually lost his own job because of the negative fallout. In the current context, the government will emerge from this inquiry unscathed. If anything, the testimony simply reinforced the need for the federal government to take drastic action to end the illegal blockade. From the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, to the testimony of multiple federal ministers, the message was simple: the federal government needed to act because the blockade would have continued if Canada was depending on provincial police forces to remove the occupying truckers. From testimony evidence, provincial police in Ontario were reluctant to utilize all the tools at their disposal, as their political masters—including Premier Doug Ford—viewed this as an “Ottawa” problem, which would be resolved by the federal government. On an economic level, the shutdown of the auto industry actually cost the economy and grabbed the attention of the Americans, who were also losing jobs because of the Freed Convoy’s supply chain disruption. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland testified that questions remained long after the bloc
