Bill 5 is called “Protecting Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act” it would serve Ontario up on a platter by giving Premier Ford and his Cabinet Trump-like authoritarian powers to immunize anyone he likes from all municipal and provincial laws. That includes “friends” and donors who will line up for these special privileges. Far from “protecting” Ontario, 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. Protect ontario, oppose this bill.
