STOP THE DESTRUCTIVE HIGHWAY 413


STOP THE DESTRUCTIVE HIGHWAY 413
The Issue
The Ontario government is trying to fast-track approval for a new mega-highway, Highway 413, that would pave over important farmland, forests, rivers, and a section of the Greenbelt in the GTHA. Not to mention a waste of Taxpayer's dollars (BILLIONS). Let's not forget, Doug Ford and his Ontario Conservative Party have completely ignored the fewer vehicle trips that would be taking in our post COVID world.
Back in 2018 this same project was cancelled by the province because it would cost billions of dollars and do massive environmental damage, while saving drivers just 30 seconds off their commute.
But now it’s back. And it will mean more cars, more air pollution, and more carbon emissions.
Ontario doesn’t need a new mega-highway. We need better GO service, better transit, and more support for transportation options that will help Ontario fight climate change, protect green spaces and reduce air pollution.
This is a highway to nowhere, a waste of taxpayer's money Why don't we use the billions to help support families during these bad times; help support small businesses that are struggling; help support our community members suffering with mental illness. We need a smarter more compassionate government during these challenging times. We don't need a government pushing its own agenda helping their development buddies under the cover of COVID. There are many alternatives to creating employment - example build more public transit - new go train lines etc...
Sign the petition to tell Doug Ford and his Government you don’t want the destructive Highway 413 built. As a community we want our say !!!
