These policies threaten not only Ontario’s biodiversity but also enable governmental-made environmental disasters under the guise of “economic growth.” This is environmental deregulation that prioritizes profit over people—particularly benefitting wealthy developers while putting low to middle class income communities at greater risk.

By weakening habitat protections and the lack of consideration for Indigenous communities—these changes contribute to environmental injustice and ecocide. Indigenous peoples, who have been stewards of this land for generations, are continuously ignored in favor of short-term industrial gain. This also leads to more communities to suffer from gentrification.

This legislation does not serve the majority of Ontarians. It serves those with the most power and wealth, while everyday people inherit the consequences: polluted land, water insecurity, and increased exposure to governmental-made disasters including major health risks for affected, and targeted, communities.
