Stop Bill 5 Court Challenge Fund

Bill 5, which was passed by the Ontario PC Party government last June, is a mad, dictator-like power grab by Premier Doug Ford and his cabinet ministers.

Bill 5 is dangerously undemocratic as it gives Ford’s cabinet unconstitutional, king-like powers to change any law without a review or vote of approval by Ontario’s legislature, and also proposes to prohibit anyone from going to court to challenge Ford’s abuses of power.

Bill 5 gives Ford unprecedented control over Ontario, including the power to set up “special economic zones” and allow individuals and big businesses operating and building things in those zones to violate provincial and municipal laws that protect the environment, communities and workers.

Please donate now on this page to support Democracy Watch’s court case challenging Bill 5.

We need to raise $85,000 to cover the costs of what could be a long court battle.

Doug Ford and his PC Party-connected cronies will fight long and hard to give themselves maximum power to hand out even more boondoggle favours to big business executives and their lobbyists who fundraise and do other favours for Ford’s PC Party like they did in the Greenbelt scandal.

Please help Democracy Watch fight back in court to stop Doug Ford’s mad, dictator-like power grab.
