I have no faith this…

I have no faith this government will do anything to address the multitude of concerns flowing in from farmers, NGOs, municipalities, conservation authorities & the public.

This Ontario PC government has proven it only listens to private enterprise, builders, developers, REITs, multi-national global corporations and fails to understand that acting in the public interest doesn’t and shouldn’t be monetized nor directly benefit those connected with the PC party. This government has politicized land use decisions in the most appalling, irresponsible manner considering the multi-faceted wicked problems facing current & future generations.

Sadly I have little faith that anything will change that meaningfully address the climate, biodiversity & housing crises. I am sick & tired of Minister office staff PR & communication strategist putting spin on decision making that is misleading and flat out inaccurate. At what point is it negligence and will elected politicians & their appointed staff be held to account for their complete and utter failure to conduct any due diligence, to make decisions informed by evidence, science. Decisions that do t destroy & undermine our public institutions. Where & who are the subject matter experts making such hastily and poorly thought out legislative changes? I highly doubt it’s government paid staff who represent our institutions, responsible for day to day administration creating this turmoil.

Consult meaningfully, incorporate the public feedback. To change nothing is a statement of legalized corruption.

I don’t even know what planning regime development applications are proceeding under in my community. It is a complete disaster b/c legislation has changed so hastily. What it looks like is landowners are picking in choosing legislation in effect at different times that best suits their needs/wants. That’s not fair, transparent & there’s zero accountability.

None of it matters b/c this PC government has clearly demonstrated that they don’t believe policies are meant to be followed or implemented that’s part of the defence for inaction on Ontario’s Climate Change plan correct? Why you’re not even trying to give our youth a better future?
