This is a very worrisome proposal that is short on details but the intent and vision is clear: we need to exploit and max our profits from our forests.

It is seems like a mentally disturbed vision of our forests apparently by the mentally ill: It does not recognize scientific facts unless such facts can be used to explain how much more we can get from our forests. We, human being from Ontario are natural beings that have evolved for millions of years from forests. Forests are our birthplace and treating it as nothing but a potential source of great income is outrageous.

The natural is faced with uncreasing threats due to human exploitation and all this document is about is to maximize the exploitarion of our forests. It is an abominable soulless user plan.

Ontario's forests are a vital element of the health of our planet and any plan regarding the use of our forests must first and foremost recognize this. Opening Ontario to business at the expense of our wilderness, of our bioligical diversity, and the quality of our environment will not make Ontarians better off and this government does not have a mandate to destroy our natural heritage. Make sure to say that our forest must remain and be preserved in their natural state. Replacing them with tree crops need to be specifically removed as a management option. Protections for endangered species generally need to be increased not cut short.

This proposal from the Ontario Government does sound like a hell of a joke.
