I strongly oppose Bill 212 and the Highway 413 Act, 2024. This project threatens Ontario’s environment by cutting through protected green spaces, farmlands, and wildlife habitats—undermining biodiversity and climate goals. The highway also promotes urban sprawl and car dependency, diverting funds from more sustainable options like public transit.

I’m also particularly concerned about the potential removal of bike lanes, which are vital for sustainable transportation and healthier communities. Investments in active transportation should be prioritized, not sacrificed. I urge reconsideration of this project in favour of solutions that better align with Ontario’s environmental and social priorities.
