Yes, I agree Ontario has become way too regulated, however keeping, improving regulations that keep Ontario clean and protect our farmlands, precious water supply, lakes, river streams is extremely important for us now and for future generations. Here’s a new concept “Clean energy”.
Ontario has experience huge growth in the past 30-40yrs, residential housing, commercial retail, infrastructures, tourism putting more and more strain on our ecosystems. Commercial space being built then remain empty/vacant for yrs. How many more stores and malls do we really need???
Look at the Great Lakes algea plumes, caused by raw sewage treatment plant releases when the GTA experiences major rain falls causing summer water quality warnings. What’s in our Great Lakes water now, traces of harmones, every drugs flushed down toilets that treatment plants cannot remove.
Big industry needs to be held accountable for the pollution they create and we have to breath daily. We shouldn’t be making it easier for them to pollute our home and deregulate laws that are protecting Ontario. Ground contamination by chemical spills, industrial processes, leaching into ground over yrs of operating. When these industries closes down/file for chapter 11 and leave the province, we are stuck cleaning up there messes and the contamination they left behind by trying to cap the site with some “Brown Field” project that tricks the public to think oh what a nice area, or that’s a great park, meanwhile stuff is radiating up from the ground and people enjoying the space are totally oblivious what is beneath there feet. Green Belts areas, parks, need to be maintained so we /future generations can continue to enjoy green spaces, hiking trails, mature trees, some of the richest soils for agricultural growth to feed a growing province/country and know where our food is coming from to be in control of our own destiny.
We (the public voice) need to be better stewards for our own Ontario because our current governments seems to have another agenda, one that seems to wants us to work harder, longer(more hrs) away from our families to pay off this ridiculous deficits and turn what green/clean space we have left into more concrete, smoke stacks and smoggy skies.
Bill 66 is no good, only good for business and not for our home we call Ontario ...Ford go back to the drawing board and listen to the people who elected you, do what u said u would do !!!
