We are at a critical juncture in Canada as Premier Doug Ford's 'Big Bad Bill 5' threatens to undermine our democratic values and rights. This legislation disregards the fundamental right of First Nations to consult, introduces ambiguous "economic zones" that could aggressively circumvent environmental and labour protections, and may endanger vulnerable communities and species.
We can't afford to stand by while this bold, Trump-like power grab unfolds. Former Premier Kathleen Wynne joins host Laura Babcock in a robust discussion on the real dangers posed by Bill 5. It's a direct attack on the laws and rights that safeguard Ontario and Canada’s future.
But there's still time to take a stand! We must unite to oppose this threat to our democracy. The implications are far-reaching, extending beyond Bill 5 itself. We also need to confront ongoing issues, such as Ford's Greenbelt Scandal and the betrayal of public trust through a series of dubious deals, including Ontario Place, the Science Centre and the LCBO, which have squandered billions of taxpayer dollars.
This is our call to action! Get involved, raise your voice, and stand up for our rights and our democracy. The vote on Bill 5 is scheduled for Monday—let's ensure your concerns are heard loud and clear by contacting Ontario MPPs and the Premier's Office. Please share this video, your thoughts, and don’t forget to like and subscribe. Together, we can build a strong, pro-democracy community and protect the future we deserve!
