This proposal is, like so…

This proposal is, like so many others coming from this provincial government, as short-sighted and self-serving as it is dangerous and threatening to the well-being and future of the planet. With the current rapid rate of species extinction, the decline of insect populations, the loss of global biodiversity, and the continued loss of forest cover across the world, to propose that businesses can buy their way past regulations put in place to protect local species at risk, compounding these larger but interconnected issues, is beyond irresponsible.
Every niche in every ecosystem relies on a delicate balance of flora and fauna, and ecosystems do not thrive in isolation - everything is connected. There would be lasting damage on near and extended ecosystems if a species is "allowed" to go extinct locally. How is this kind of thinking even acceptable at this level? We would never teach our children such backward thinking in schools - the value systems on which this proposal is built is one that would hold the bottom line of those already well-off above everything else. I'm ashamed and outraged that the government of Ontario would espouse this value system, actively pushing forward policies and proposals that will have measurable and far-ranging damage to species, their ecosystems, and all living things that rely on the health and well-being of those ecosystems.
There are no words to express my opposition to this asinine proposal.
