Species at risk in Ontario…

Species at risk in Ontario have been neglected by the provincial government for more than a decade and NOW the Ford government is proposing to deal this crushing blow? Why would Canada and its citizens want to roll back the clock to 1994, when mitigating harm was the standard for the forest industry when it came to vulnerable critters? Wildlife like boreal caribou, Blanding’s turtle and common nighthawk have never been protected to ensure their recovery under the Endangered Species Act and if the Ford government has their way, they never will be…

That this is happening in an extinction crisis and climate emergency is shocking and irresponsible. Embarrassing, frankly… Not to mention it would irreparably damage the reputation of Ontario’s wood and paper products internationally and in the marketplace. This proposal must be stopped.
