In no uncertain terms, this…

In no uncertain terms, this proposal is an obscene gesture in the face of our current climate crisis and a terrifying move to give unfettered access of precious and rapidly disappearing wildlands to developers whose only concern is to line their pockets with million dollar sub-par development projects.

Proposing that wildlife habitats are "ill-defined" is being intentionally ignorant. Claiming that streamlining an intentionally difficult process (for the sake of the environment and the well-being of all people on this earth) is in the best interest for the people Ontario is grandiose and wildly incorrect.

Even more incredible is your want to exclude certain animal species from protection, and a laughable indication of your lack of care in this proposal. It shows a clear bias towards animals that will be most effected by developers in their insatiable desire to turn all of our land into suburbs.

Removing advisory committees for these projects is also completely and comically telling. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Somehow worse still is your proposal to create an online form registration for development. The fact that it's being proposed that the equivalent of checking boxes can be used to circumvent federal protection laws is a special kind of indecency.

There are more points to be considered; but truthfully this entire document is woefully, unabashedly, completely an exercise in governmental favouritism, an indecent showing of handing out favours using political power in exchange for cash to those who have no interest in preserving our withering planet.

It's true that housing is an upmost priority, but perhaps we should be looking towards infill and divesting home ownership from being seen as an investment rather than tearing up critical wildlife that will sustain us far more than ugly stucco and plywood "mansions".
