This is because the Ford Government has sided with Enbridge Gas, subjecting ratepayers to foot the bill for new pipelines to new homes. The Ontario Energy Board (OEB), an independent authority that works to keep energy costs down, decided it is the developers who should pay for new pipelines to new homes - not Ontarians. This decision panicked Enbridge and they complained to the Ontario government. Premier Ford, instead of prioritizing affordability for Ontarians, has once again sided with big business and sprawl developers by presenting Bill 165 which aims to overrule the OEB’s attempt to protect Ontarians from subsidizing Enbridge’s projects. Join Environmental Defence, Ontario Climate Emergency Campaign, Seniors for Climate Action Now, Hamilton 350, and Climate Fast to discuss the details and impacts of Bill 165 and how you can join the movement trying to keep energy bills from rising.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/146476/event/1">https://act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/146476/event/1</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'>Stop Bill 165 - Energy for People, Not Profit<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Actions in Hamilton, Beamsville, Toronto (Queens Park), <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://environmentaldefence.ca/ontario-government-is-teaming-up-with-enbridge-to-keep-us-hooked-on-gas/">https://environmentaldefence.ca/ontario-government-is-teaming-up-with-enbridge-to-keep-us-hooked-on-gas/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'>Send a message to Ontario Opposition Leaders and your MPP</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'> </span><span lang=EN-US>asking them to fight Doug Ford’s plan to increase the profits of Enbridge Gas and land developers at the expense of our climate and our pocketbooks. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.cleanairalliance.org/gas-profits/">https://www.cleanairalliance.org/gas-profits/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#00B0F0'>Nuclear exploitation: how uranium mining harms communities<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Thur.

But this activity proves devastating for the communities – very often of Indigenous people – working in and living near the mines. As well as immediate and ongoing harms, contamination from uranium mining activity persists for tens of thousands of years, leaving a dangerous legacy for current and future generations. Join CND and Beyond Nuclear for this webinar to discuss how uranium mining for nuclear power production affects communities far away from where the power is consumed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iThP7xYKRVy6XxQ46hOwpA#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iThP7xYKRVy6XxQ46hOwpA#/registration</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:red'>Protest RBC's AGM<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Thur.

It works in concert with natural flows and cycles and embraces diversity. It has been shown to enhance food production in small scale farming systems with low inputs and in the midst of climatic variability. But what does agroecology look like when scaled up to encompass diversified large crop fields and pastures? What does it look like when practiced in drier places? Does it imply or require larger social and economic shifts? Join us as we delve into how to think of agroecology on a larger scale.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.nfu.ca/nfuniversity/?mc_cid=2f29c708a5&mc_eid=d397eec8db">https://www.nfu.ca/nfuniversity/?mc_cid=2f29c708a5&mc_eid=d397eec8db</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'>Zero Carbon Step Code: Energy efficiency in buildings<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Fri.
