My husband and I are…

My husband and I are strongly against reinstating the spring Black Bear hunt. We follow environmental action alerts through our local nature club and Ontario Nature. We agree with their concerns regarding this matter. In general, we are angry and dismayed by the Ontario Conservative Government’s apparent disinterest in protecting and preserving the environment. There is a calculated effort being made by the government to downplay these issues, hide legislative action in Omnibus bills, and provide short timelines for public response. Reinstating the Black Bear hunt is another example of their short-sighted promotion of business over the protection of the environment. Maintaining our larger predators is critical to the balance and health of Ontario’s ecology. In an eco-system, all creatures are important and have impact on one another. This government needs to stop its arrogant and ill-informed destruction of aspects of Ontario’s natural heritage-now.
