Comment
I have been incredibly disappointed with the Ontario Government in the past few months in regards to Environmental policy like fighting against climate change action via cancelling the cap and trade system and the recently proposed Bill 66. In absolutely no circumstance should economic development be prioritized over the protection of endangered and threatened wildlife in Ontario. More action should be done to maintain Ontario's ecosystems and biodiversity, as well as taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.
I am an Ontario citizen with a Bachelor's in Environmental Life Sciences, Master's in Environmental Sciences and am currently working on Environmental Epidemiology research, and in no way do I think Ontario is doing an adequate job in protecting wildlife and combatting climate change. I have worked with several scientists from Environment Canada and think maybe they could be utilized more to develop environmental policy in Ontario as Ontario's Minister of the Environment and Premier do not have much experience in the field of Environmental Sciences.
