We are a couple planning to move from our current province to Eastern Ontario, in part because of its natural beauty and wildlife. Deforestation and habitat loss for other species is NOT the way forward for human beings and ALL governments need to start thinking past the short term job market and of what they will be leaving behind. Why not strive to be the province that is leading the way in preserving these things? Why not encourage all voters to understand this? Why not work on job creation in sectors that are more environmentally friendly and balance the two? It won't matter that a lot of people are employed if their homes and workplaces are under five feet of water.

I've noticed that municipalities and the public at large are becoming more and more concerned about this and changing their own habits, even though inconvenient at times, to have less impact on the environment. They will only continue to become more aware and those people will all be voting in the next election.
