I do NOT support this…

I do NOT support this proposal. We must protect our native species.
Bill 5 would give the Premier’s friends special permissions to ignore all provincial and municipal laws, including those that protect our farms, forests, wetlands and endangered wildlife.

No guardrails. No accountability. Just the Premier and his friends bulldozing their way across our province.

If passed, Bill 5, would:

Repeal Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, 2007, marking the end of meaningful protections for endangered, threatened and special concern species in Ontario.
Give Premier Ford and his cabinet Trump-like powers to designate “special economic zones” where “trusted proponents” (i.e. anyone they choose) could be exempt from all provincial and municipal laws. This would make it easier than ever for developers to pave over our farms, forests and wetlands and ram through projects like Highway 413.
Keep Ontario dependent on imported fracked gas from the U.S by letting the government ban Chinese components in energy projects, shutting the door on clean, affordable wind and solar energy.
Exempt the Premier’s preferred developers from the requirements of the Environmental Bill of Rights
