Putting the health and safety of Ontarians at the hands of developers is very, very dangerous and completely wrong. This province has put protection acts in place for a reason, and the fact that this bill proposes that if you have "money" and you can create a handful of "jobs", you can "cut the red tape" and destroy our ecosystems and food systems in the long run for financial gain... Shameful. I do not support Bill 66. This land we live off should be treated with respect, because if we continue to abuse it with urban sprawl, more roads and development over our protected green space, and put our drinking water at risk, we will destroy our environment and leave nothing for our future generations. Our lives are at steak, and this government has no regard for that. Where is the long term thinking? Does this government believe that our natural resources are infinite? They are not. This bill is just another step towards a destructive, undemocratic society.
I want my children to live in an Ontario that respects all living things - where there is no divide between persons, or living things. Our land feeds us and gives us life. If we let development take free reign over what happens to this land, we are jeopardizing the air that we breathe, the food that we eat, and the water that we drink. Do you want that for your children? Your grandchildren? You decide.
