Yes repeal this and many others. It is time to ask where are we at, why and how we got here. Then actually think were this is leading us. Perhaps there is hope yet based on the direction this current regime is heading.

I am only generally familiar with this Act but am quite familiar with the social engineering proclivities of the previous Ontario governments. Central control and central planning were fundamental platforms on which their programs were based. The arrogance of the previous government regimes in assuming these platforms as a universal "good" and steamrolling controls and regulations over the general population is frightening and dangerous. The path we are on is leading us to horrible situations we already know of ... examine the reality of China, North Korea, the former USSR, Cuba, Venezuela. There is no Pollyanna under the umbrella of state control. It is time we taught that the more the State gives you, the more the State controls you the less you control the State.

IF there is an issue with regards to carbon and climate, the marketplace should be the tool, not big government, not more legislation and not more regulation with associated government determined penalties for non-compliance.

The echo chamber in which the socialist "global" thinkers dwell is unfortunately occupied by powerful people in the mating of the contemporary unholy triad of state, academia and media. For the most part, today's intellectual paradigms have been established through faulty philosophical assumptions rarely seen, understood or questioned - they have been simply accepted for the most part since about the 1950's (Post Modernism for example). From a global perspective, the West has effectively molded a few generations of a lot of very "useful idiots" (to borrow an appropriate phrase from a not very good person). To depart from the group think one risks ridicule at least and economic annihilation at worse. Fortunately, more of the general population in the West are becoming tuned in, resulting in the election of political parties bold enough to run on platforms that build upon the lessons of history rather than apologize or deny their history.

Now is the time to repeal legislation that govern matters which otherwise are dealt with through common law, common sense, the market place and/or logical facts. It is time to call out both the obvious and sly mechanisms of State control over the individual. It is time to prune the Nanny-state down to a very small, unnoticeable shrub in the garden of humanity.

Perhaps this current government can next concentrate on throwing the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario onto the garbage heap of state enforced thought control mechanisms.
