I strongly oppose Bill 5. We need strong environmental protections and should oppose short cuts for industry. The new law the Ontario government has claimed is about “protecting Ontario” is actually designed to do just the opposite. Bill 5 would allow all provincial and municipal laws to be violated wherever the Cabinet decides. The Bill would also repeal the Endangered Species Act altogether, ending almost all endangered species protection. As a result sprawl-developers and even U.S. companies, can eradicate our rarest plants of animals and their habitat with impunity.

Ontario must protect its endangered and threatened species by protecting everything that remains of their habitat here in our province, rather than bulldozing it and relying upon the U.S. to save them.

I hope you are as angry as I am about what’s actually in Bill 5, and that you will speak out, and vote against it, so it doesn’t pass.
