Town of Caledon Mayor and Council: Reject Ford’s crackdown on the houseless communityPremier Doug Ford tabled draconian and callous legislation that will criminalize people for not having a home — and he is ready to override the courts to make it happen. This bill will give cities more power to increase policing and forcibly dismantle encampments — when people have nowhere else to go. Community advocates and experts have come out against it: this legislation doesn't get to the root of the issue — it will just land more people in jails, cost millions of dollars and spread encampments to new places. Already some cities have started to speak out against it. If more cities reject Ford’s brutal legislation and demand Ford provide real solutions to the housing crisis, it could force Ford to back down. A wave of local campaigns calling on local mayors and city councils to come out against Ford's draconian legislation could help tip the scale. Sign the petition to your city’s mayor and council demanding they reject Ford’s crackdown on the houseless community.104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Carmel Hili

Tell Jason Nixon and the UCP to Stop Taking Money From Seniors and People with Disabilities!For the tens of thousands of seniors whose incomes rely on the Alberta Seniors' Benefit to supplement their low Federal Government pensions (CPP and the Guaranteed Income Supplement); and the over 75,000 disabled Albertans whose incomes are extremely low with AISH benefits, claw backs to these programs represent undue hardship and stress. This puts more strain on mental health services, food banks, and other services provided to low-income Albertans across the province. They also destabilize their incomes, preventing them from planning ahead for each month’s bills.630 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Daria Skibington-Roffel

Compensate everyone in Grassy Narrows fairly for the mercury crisis, 2. Respect the Grassy Narrows Indigenous Protected Area and end industrial threats to Grassy Narrows including mining, 3. Shut down the Dryden mill that continues to worsen the mercury crisis, 4. Say no to nuclear waste disposal in Grassy Narrows' headwaters, Support Grassy Narrows in restoring their community and way of life from the damage that mercury has done. Grassy Narrows has been fighting for justice for over 50 years, it is time to make things right.

I look forward to your response on this important issue and call on you to do the right thing.3,604 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Dan Mossip

Say No to Creating Largest Garbage Incinerator in Canada in the GTAA recent proposal brought to Brampton city council by Emerald Energy From Waste Inc., would see a massive expansion to the Emerald incinerator, one of the largest garbage incinerators in Canada. The proposal seeks to quadruple the incinerator's emissions from 182,000 tonnes annually to over 900,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. We urge you to reject this expansion proposal for the following reasons: 1) Burning garbage produces more greenhouse emissions than burning coal or gas. We can make actual green energy sources much more cheaply than giving this private company $3 million of provincial money. 2) The toxic gas that Emerald company acknowledges leaves its plant, makes people nearby more likely to have chronic lung disease. 3) Studies done on incinerators demonstrate that over half of what is burned could be recycled or composted. It takes a lot of energy to burn wet compostable material and generally that means they are required to burn highly polluting plastics or other fuels, like gas, to get to high enough temperatures. I and other concerned Ontario residents urge you to NOT approve this expansion and allow for an environmental assessment and community consultation.406 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Liz Garrison

Petition Mayor Olivia Chow & Members of City Council to vote against KingSett DevelopmentAt the last Toronto and East York Community Council meeting members of the committee voted unanimously to send staff’s report, which recommends the approval of KingSett Capital’s application for 214-230 Sherbourne, to council without recommendations. This means that there will be a discussion at the next City Council meeting which is scheduled for three days starting on Wednesday October 9. We are asking the community to insist that Mayor Olivia Chow and the Toronto City Council vote against KingSett's development plans and instead take a stand against corporate developers that are profiting off of housing. Please sign our petition to add your voice to to this fight.124 of 200 SignaturesCreated by 230 Fightback
