An internal government document, obtained by @emmamci.bsky.social through access to information legislation, shows the Ministry of Transportation has “no commitment to a timeline” for finishing the project or even finalizing its design.

Bald eagles really are back in a big way, writes @emmamci.bsky.social. After about half a century of conservation efforts, the Ontario government made the bald eagle’s recovery official in May 2023, announcing an expert committee had deemed them no longer at risk.

BREAKING: The Narwhal’s @emmamci.bsky.social & @fatimabsyed.bsky.social have learned Ontario is working on a plan to make it easier for the government to expropriate land to proceed with major projects — a change it notes could be viewed as “further weakening” of the Environmental Assessment Act

My last story of the year is also my grand opus on the Greenbelt!
I pulled together the many threads of scoops and watchdog reports into a tale that I hope tells the definitive story of Ontario's Greenbelt scandal. Featuring so so much fun digital design!
