Please do not remove the environmental assessment for York1 or any other projects in Ontario because you need to know the damages and health issues that will happen if this proposal goes through

People choose to live in Dresden because it's a small town. It doesn't have the big city traffic and noise pollution.
The removal of this environmental assessment opens the door to easily approve this proposed dump.

Premier Doug Ford and his government are taking the easy way out.
Rather than investigating further to find a more suitable location, they're trying to change our laws to get around road blocks and put in a dump quickly.

Doug Ford said we need a solution for waste so we don't have to rely on the United States.
Does a landfill have to be that solution?
Has the government considered other options, or investigated how other countries handle their own waste?

The expansion of this landfill site without an environmental assessment is outrageous and foolhardy. If the dump proceeds, there is a significant possibility that the waterways and fields in the area would be contaminated beyond repair.

I don’t want a dumping ground in my backyard. It will ruin the town and the community. They shouldn’t be allowed to do that without checking if it’s safe first and it’s not

Using a tariff war to justify bypassing the environmental assessment is short sighted and wrong. There is a reason for such processes in place. Doug Ford does not care about rural parts of this province and this is clearly showing it.

The site of this proposal is most inappropriate!
The boundary of this site and the boundary of town are separated by only a single country road. The entire town lies inside the recommended distance from a landfill. No one is safe.
