Longfield, who challenged the removals in court, said his lawyers are still reviewing the latest decision and may appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada."

@anishinabeknation.bsky.socialReposted by @toenviro.bsky.socialA statement from Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Linda Debassige on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation:
@toenviro.bsky.socialFlood protection measures, like naturalizing the mouth of the Don and upgrading sewers in key flood-prone areas, mitigate the damage from events like the recent 100-year storm. It would be a very big mistake to drain the resources we have to protect our city from worsening #climateimpacts. 4/4
@toenviro.bsky.socialThis fund builds our water filtration plants, our watermains and sewers, our basement flooding protection infrastructure, and a lot more. It's not a frill.
We just dealt with a 100-year storm that would have been much more damaging if Toronto hadn't invested into #floodprotection measures. 3/4
@toenviro.bsky.socialWe want to underline how dangerous and short-sighted it would be to drain this reserve, or put it into provincial hands. This infrastructure is a big part of preventing more catastrophic flooding, as #climatechange sends more extreme storms and rain our way.
This fund is necessary. 2/4
@toenviro.bsky.socialTime for some election fact checking on Toronto's water budget.
We heard a claim from candidate Brad Bradford today that implied that the City's capital reserve fund for water infrastructure like sewers, pipes, and water treatment is unnecessary. This is dangerous and short-sighted. 1/4 #topoli
@toenviro.bsky.social🗳️ It's election season!
TEA’s got you covered, we have questions for municipal candidates and ideas to make our city greener. Sign up here to get survey results from candidates as soon as they’re up, and read our platform: https://loom.ly/945Ee5o
@toenviro.bsky.socialWe need to "make Toronto more spongy". Hear TEA's @howsenchong.bsky.social weigh in about how Toronto can be more flood resilient, on the CBC: https://loom.ly/CzFFHMs
@toenviro.bsky.socialThis week, Toronto experienced it's fourth 100-year storm since 2013. Toronto can act on flooding by adding more green infrastructure to absorb floodwaters, and by ending the burning of fossil fuels.
Read more from this 2024 blog we wrote after the last 100-year storm:
