Michael Mesure
Michael Mesure is co-founder of FLAP Canada (Fatal Light Awareness Program), a conservation organization focused on preventing bird-building collisions in urban environments. He has opposed Bill 98's removal of bird-friendly glass requirements from municipal building standards, warning that buildings without bird-safe coatings kill an estimated one billion birds annually in North America.
Connected Scandals
Ford's Bill 98 would permanently strip Ontario municipalities of the power to require EV charging, tree canopy, bird-friendly glass, and energy standards from developers — handing a legislative victory to RESCON, the industry lobby already suing Toronto in court over the same rules. Cities have already frozen new green standard programs in anticipation.
As co-founder of FLAP Canada, Mesure represents the conservation interest directly harmed by Bill 98's removal of municipal bird-friendly glass requirements — standards that Toronto and other cities had enacted specifically to reduce bird-building collisions.
