I'll make this right to the point. KEEP laws in place to protect Ontario's environment and animals, ESPECIALLY the ones at risk. There are more and more people in Ontario putting more and more pressure on it's wild spaces, especially in southern Ontario and the Greenbelt and now more than ever, we need legislation and the resultant laws that strengthens the protection of them and not watering them down. It's like watching a slow moving tsunami about to hit shore one day and on that shore is our most precious, irreplaceable natural heritage THAT ISN'T OURS TO DESTROY by the way - the land, the flora, fauna, insects and animals that make us, our place on this Earth unique and valuable. Businesses come and go, boom and bust and new ones come in to take their place. It's the natural ebb and flow of progress and most business go bust due to their own fault (not making a product the market wants, not knowing who they are marketing too, irrelevant merchandise, incompetent fiscal management, etc.) and not because of environmental protections.

It should be government's responsibility to grow emerging technologies so we get the jump on establishing ourselves as the go-to-people and products for the world, and that would generate massive employment in R&D and end point employment. Things like green tech and green energy development, production and exporting that tech would ensure a healthy economy and a healthy environment for both the natural world which includes us!

Let's get on that bus and ditch the one that is old, worn out and ready to crumble to rust which is the old industry that destroyed the environment. No blaming - we did what we had to with the technology (combustion engines, etc.) we had then. Now is a completely different emerging ballgame, and in fact, is already here. For example, China is going to electric cars and will not need our oil. So what will we do then? The U.S.A is glutted with their own oil and gas reserves. We have no one to sell our oil to soon and then what? Yes, that's right, we're going to be hooped so let's get with it. Intelligent technologies are the real money makers now and we are either on that financially and environmentally rich wave or we're left in the dust. Let's be smarter and support the technologies and industries that realize this. Let's truly lead and win, for a change.
