I wish to express my horror…

I wish to express my horror at the passing of Bill 23.
There is absolutely no integrity in the proposing or the passing of this heinous Bill.
The exploitation of the Greenbelt by using Bill 23 as a resource for that exploitation us NOT acceptable.
Bill 23 is a direct abuse of political power. It eradicates Ontarian's right to Democracy.
It is abundantly clear that the majority of Ontarian’s DO NOT agree with Bill 23.
It is clear that it will ‘pave the way’ to destroying the environment and the species within, many that are identified as Species at Risk’.
It is pathetic to think the only way a Bill that has this degree of a negative impact on Nature could only be presented and passed by using ‘bully’ tactics.
This is a clear abuse of political power. The transparency of the motivation of the presenting and passing Bill 23 is a sad state of affairs. It is obviously a money grab to line the pockets of those that the Ford administration is indebted to.
The Environment, the Greenbelt does not belong to the Ford administration. It’s clear exploitation is NOT acceptable in any way, shape or form.
As far as re establishing a wetland at a new location research has proven that it does not work as it does not maintain the integrity of the original that will be permanently lost.
Wetlands ARE NOT WASTELANDS to be developed.
They play an essential role in the control of waters both in the times of flood and drought.
Is the passing of Bill 23 going to prove to be a giant ‘I told you so’?
Wetlands are one of the most important ecosystems in the planet.
They sequester carbon, filter freshwater sources. Only 2% of the worlds water is a freshwater source. 20% of that is found in Canada with most of it in Ontario. Half of the worlds population has migrated to find freshwater sources over the past number of years. 3 provinces in Canada had freshwater shortage issues last year and previous years as well.
Wetlands are our freshwater reservoirs.
The turtle populations in those wetlands are already identified as Species at Risk. They are the ‘janitors’ of the wetlands keeping our freshwater sources free from bacteria because of the vast amounts of carrion and decaying vegetation the turtles consume.
The essential truth about the turtle populations is that they CANNOT be relocated with any measure is success. That is a sure ticket to their demise.
So what will happen to the turtle populations located in those areas to be developed? How can the eradication of a species already identified as ‘at risk’ be annihilated without recourse ?
Why is it that Bill 23 is based on deceit and misrepresentations?
Where are the principals of integrity and ethics in this process ?
Words cannot impart the insanity of this legislation.
There is no integrity or accountability in the passing of this Bill. Why is there such a lack of creativity, ethics and imagination in this legislation. The transparency of this ‘money grab’ is embarrassing in its immaturity.
We will ALL suffer the repercussions of the passing of Bill 23.
Wake up and smell the swamp water.
Nature will Always have the last word. It is her nature to make order of Doug Fords chaos.
