May 13, 2025
TORONTO — Local residents and a First Nation brought their fight against a large landfill to Queen’s Park, where they accused the premier of trampling over the community’s concerns to fast-track a project backed by his donors.
The chair of a local advocacy group says the community feels betrayed by the decision to cancel an environmental assessment for the landfill just north of Dresden, a small rural farming community in southwestern Ontario.
Stefan Premdas, the head of the group, questioned how the project got singled out in a controversial omnibus bill introduced by Premier Doug Ford’s government.
