To Whom It May Concern (ie. EVERYONE),
I have always been an issue/substance voter, and donor, not mired to party, ideology or stripe but concerned about the environment, proper governance, and more. I accept defeats on my opinions if they're considered, reasoned and prove to be reasonably being made in mind of all Ontarions' futures, including what the actions now will mean/leave for my kids and their futures. That said, with degrees in economics, poli-sci & consumer behaviour, I've come to accept that there can be no balanced budget, other policy outcome, or future, without a balanced eco-system and, much to my dismay, Bill 23 (and associated measures) seem to leave this notion (it's called externalities) callously by the wayside with simple pandering to Conservative party talking points probably written by developer donors. It seems impossible to me that Bill 23 can pass true scientific, regulatory or policy analysis and that is where I hope this ERO submission might help (it's my first). I'm counting on you to provide some rigour to this.
It appears to me that the Bill, with its stunning immediate prescriptions and ramifications was introduced and passed, apparently purposefully, in the last few weeks to dissuade proper consideration while municipal Councils were in post-election transition and voters still thought they could believe the current government's promise that this would/could never happen. That is BS, not democracy, and, as such, I fear your review is a "last chance" to consider things appropriately. Please do so.
I could go into many details, but, simply put, many of the things that B23 targets getting rid off are 101 "how to do things" in historical reference even well beyond Ontario. They deal with science, experience (ie. Hazel) and reality beyond polity when that was still the norm. We have many local experts, and voters, who know how to achieve provincial housing goals without rampant build zone expansion and they should be listened to not overridden in a pre-post-term council gap!!!
Thank you for your consideration of this. (I hope I've met your format.)
Cheers,
AC
