Hi there,

What with Doug Ford's proposition to make changes to the Endangered Species and At-Risk Species act, I would like to be informed as to how the ESA creates “barriers to economic development?”

Living in a country, and province, which fosters diverse ecosystems will make way for a positive life shared between both humans and animals. Decreasing protection for at-risk animals is quite literally going against our best interest, so I am confused as to how this would result in “positive outcomes."

I fear this will decrease the public view of Ontario, which is already abysmal, reduce corporate willingness to invest & develop here, and will be an overall setback in Ontario's development.

The world around us is quickly changing for the worse, and ignoring these issues will not make them go away. Global Warming impacts every single human, animal, and plant on Earth; no amount of money can protect you from what is inevitably going to happen. The fact that our own Premier can't even feign concern is terrifying, let alone the fact that he is a wrecking ball through what feeble protections we currently have in place.

Humans have let ourselves get to the point where we shouldn't even be eating animals anymore, as it is in such unsustainable proportions, yet here we are in 2019 with the leader of one of the biggest province's in Canada ready to shoot his population in the head.

I'm sick of living in a province that puts corporate interest above that of the population. It is disgusting and un-Canadian.
