Burlington to give musician Sarah Harmer key to the city as her fight against quarry expansion continues
As singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer prepares to receive the symbolic key to the City of Burlington – in large part for her leadership in a fight against quarry expansion on Mount Nemo – the fate of that quarry is currently in the hands of the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). Harmer will be honoured by her hometown at a ceremony at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre on April 16 at 7 p.m. The honour follows her Humanitarian Award, which she received at the 2025 Juno Awards in March. The award "recognizes an outstanding Canadian artist or industry leader whose humanitarian contributions have positively enhanced the social fabric of Canada and/or whose impact can be felt worldwide." "In 2005, Harmer co-founded Protecting Escarpment Rural Land (PERL), to stop a massive crushed rock quarry on Mount Nemo, part of the Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve," states the Junos' website. "In 2012, PERL played a key role at the Ontario Joint Board hearing, stopping Lafarge/Nelson Aggregates from destroying endangered species habitats, significant headwater wetlands, and safe and abundant drinking water." Harmer's parents own land in the vicinity of the quarry, which is adjacent to the Mount Nemo Conservation Area, and she grew up there. The quarry, owned by Nelson Aggregates, is located on the Niagara Escarpment in rural north Burlington, on 2 Sideroad between Cedar Springs Road and Guelph Line. The proposal currently before the OLT is the company's second attempt in the last 20 years to expand its footprint. The OLT hearing started March 4 and is scheduled for 60 hearing days. On Thursday, day 22 of the hearing, Harmer was one of dozens of observers watching the proceedings. The hearing will present testimony from experts supporting both Nelson Aggregates, the company looking to expand, local municipalities and the local advocates fighting against the expansion. Harmer, who wrote the song Escarpment Blues based on this situation, says she got involved in the issue through her mom, and is passionate about protecting the natural world. "We put a meeting together in 2005 and have been focused for many years on protecting the well water, endangered species, clean air, and all the things we need to survive," she told CBC Radio's Here and Now in late March. Endangered salamander lives in the area near quarry The company first applied to expand in 2004 and was eventually denied by Ontario's Consolidated Hearings Board (Joint Board) in 2012 on the basis that "Nelson had not made sufficient provision for the protection of these unique ecologic and environmentally sensitive areas" and would encroach on habitat for the Jefferson salamander, an endangered species that resides in the area. In May 2020, it submitted a new application to expand. The new proposal would expand the quarry into a field south of the existing site and into the Burlington Springs Golf and Country Club to the west. In addition to the salamander habitat, local residents have concerns about rock blasting occurring closer to their homes and closer to two nearby pipelines, as well as the environmental impact of extra truck traffic and the potential for the operation to affect the quantity and quality of the groundwater that feeds their wells. The City of Burlington has expressed similar concerns. Its council unanimously passed a sharply worded motion last year requesting the province deny Nelson's proposal. The proponents for the project have vowed to protect natural heritage and groundwater, and said the good from the quarry would outweigh the bad. In an 2021 interview with CBC Hamilton, spokesperson Kevin Powers said the material to be extracted from the quarry, known as dolostone, is in short supply and is needed to build roads and bridges. "It is the highest-strength limestone you can get in Ontario… Where we would like to dig is one of the few areas in Ontario that is licensed and set aside for the extraction of this resource." 40 witnesses will speak over 60 days The OLT hearing is expected to wrap up in mid-June, says Gord Pinard, a member of Conserving our Rural Ecosystems, one of the advocacy groups that has standing in the proceedings. The group has the hearing schedule and a link to the online proceedings on its website. Pinard says about 40 witnesses are expected in the next several weeks. Thursday's proceedings focused on the work done by Dr. Bev Wicks, an ecologist contracted by the quarry to support its proposal. "She is covering one of the very significant topics," said Pinard. Thursday's cross examination related to the quality of the data Wicks based her assumptions on, and revealed that some was obtained by trespassing and was withdrawn by a previous witness. Pinard said he's hoping to get as many eyes on the proceeding as possible. "Our concerns [are] about water quality, and air quality, and safety of the community with blasting and trucking, and the natural environment, including provincially significant wetlands, woodlands and endangered species," he said.

Michael Bublé takes swipe at Trump at Canadian music awards: ‘We are not for sale'
Michael Bublé has hit out at Donald Trump's calls for Canada to be annexed as America's 51st state. While hosting the 2025 Juno Awards on Sunday — Canada's version of the Grammys — the Canadian singer responded to the president's threats in an emotional speech. 'I'm a hometown kid who never left. And as I stand here and I look out at my fellow artists in a sold-out arena with millions watching at home, I'm proud to be Canadian,' Bublé, 49, told the audience. 'I'm proud that when they go low, we go high.' Appearing to choke up, he continued: 'Bottom line, we love this country. We love it, and when you love something, you show up for it. And we always will. We will because we're formidable, because we're fearless, because we don't just acknowledge our differences — we embrace them. Because they don't just make us stronger; they make us a hell of a lot more interesting. 'We're the North, the Pacific, we're the Atlantic, we're the Great Lakes, we're the Rocky Mountains, and we are the wide open spaces. Folks, we are one of a kind. We are beautiful. We are the greatest nation on earth!' he said before declaring, 'And we are not for sale!' The 'Haven't Met You Yet' singer's comments come amid fears of an impending trade war sparked by Trump's sweeping plans to heavily tariff Canada and other countries he feels have treated 'the U.S. unfairly.' In early March, the president threatened to impose 50 percent tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports. However, soon after, he backtracked and halted the plan. Trump has since suggested that Canada's 'tariff problem' would vanish if it agreed to become part of the U.S., leaving Canadian politicians and citizens furious. At a mid-March Downing Street press conference, Canada's new prime minister, Mark Carney, issued a warning to Trump, telling the president that his threats to annex Canada as the 51st state must stop if the two countries are to broach trade talks. Carney told reporters that Trump's 'disrespectful' comments were an impediment to fresh talks on a U.S.-Canada trade partnership. Still, Trump has remained steadfast in his mission to impose tariffs on Canada, recently imposing a 25 percent tax on all Canadian goods. In retaliation, Canada has issued C$60 billion ($42 billion) of tariffs on U.S. products. 'We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes because of President Trump's unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty,' Carney said on Sunday, March 23, announcing his decision. 'There is so much more to do to secure Canada. To invest in Canada, to build Canada, to unite Canada. That's why I'm asking for a strong positive mandate from my fellow Canadians.'

Michael Bublé takes down Donald Trump over talks of turning Canada into 51st state: 'We are not for sale'
Michael Bublé took a swipe at U.S. President Donald Trump during a patriotic opening monologue at the 2025 Juno Awards, declaring that his native country was "not for sale" amid growing tensions between the U.S. and Canada. "Folks, we're one of a kind. We are beautiful. We are the greatest nation on Earth," the host of Canada's version of the Grammys said from the Rogers Arena stage in Vancouver on Sunday night. "And we are not for sale." Related: Michael Bublé reveals why he turned down The Voice at least 15 times: 'Most of the singers are better than me' Amid an escalating tariff war, Trump has been vocal about his desire to annex Canada and turn it into a U.S. state, prompting condemnation from Canadian leaders. On stage, Bublé's nationalism was on full display. "I'm a hometown kid who never left," he said. "And as I stand here and look out at my fellow artists in a sold-out arena with millions watching at home, I'm proud to be Canadian."'Bottom line, we love this country," Bublé continued. "And when you love something, you show up for it. And we always will. We will because we're formidable, because we're fearless because we don't just acknowledge our differences, we embrace them. Because they don't just make us stronger, they make us a hell of a lot more interesting." Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office earlier this month, Trump said, "Canada only works as a state," adding, "We don't need anything they have. As a state, it would be one of the great states anywhere . . . If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it, between Canada and the U.S. Just a straight, artificial line. Somebody did it a long time ago, many, many decades ago. Makes no sense." Related: The View slams 'insane, stupid, hare-brained' Donald Trump for floating potential third term: 'Wouldn't mind being king' "But why should we subsidize another country for $200 billion?" he continued. "Again, we don't need their lumber, we don't need their energy. We have more than they do. We don't need anything. We don't need their cars. I'd much rather make the cars here. And there's not a thing that we need. Now, there will be a little disruption, but it won't be very long. But they need us. We really don't need them. And we have to do this." Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is among the political leaders to have hit back against Trump. "What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy because that'll make it easier to annex us," he said. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a separate interview with CNBC, "Canada is not for sale and will never be the 51st state. Our supply sector is so intertwined, you can't unscramble an egg."
