Rather than preserving the green space at #OntarioPlace , Ford's mega-spa promotes a wellness experience where people pay $$$ to connect with nature by watching videos of trees. Why is this gov't spending $650 million to cut down trees just to watch videos of them? #ONpoli

Ontario is changing how it assesses the impact of new construction projects on the environment, aiming to build infrastructure quicker. Environmentalists warn the move may let harmful projects avoid...
