Protecting the environment…

Protecting the environment for our children and future generations does not come free. It has a cost.

The Paris climate accord is one positive, proactive measure, now, to move us towards avoiding an environmental catastrophe down the road.

The problem is that environmental laws are made by politicians. Most politicians think only in the present five year timeframe and their reelection. Politicians are loathe to impose any costs or constraints now, which are for the benefit of future generations. After all, future generations have no vote in the next election.

The narrow-minded, short-sighted nature of this proposed legislation is irresponsible to our planet, and irresponsible to future generations.

Ontario should scrap this harmful proposed legislation, and shift resources away from the fossil fuel industry and towards making Ontario an entrepreneurial leader in green energy technology, Now, THAT would be a win-win scenario.
