Short term gains in exchange…

Short term gains in exchange for long term pains. I find it extremely disconcerting that this proposal involving deregulation is being touted as a viable and common sense way to open up business in Ontario. Many of the regulations that are currently present have been put in place to balance business and environmental concerns.
The current proposals are extremely one sided, ignore the impact of deregulation on the environment and send a message to the world that Ontario has joined the ranks of the Republican Party, south of our border, in the total disregard for environmental issues. Does the Ford government believe like Mr Trump that global warming is a hoax.
I would like the Ontario PC government to clearly state their views and attitudes towards the environment and global warming. The actions of this government suggest that they believe that sacrificing the environment for short term business gain is in the provinces best interest. Is this view due to the rejection of the overwhelming scientific communities acceptance of the human impact on global warming or is it based on pure greed and shortsightedness. I believe one of the main responsibilities of a governments is to protect its citizens. By placing “development” over the environment our current government is placing all of our children and future generations in peril. It is time for the ontario PC government to stand up and do what is right.
A strong economy and environmental stewardship can coincide however it takes strong and committed leadership with a clear mandate to do what is right and just over what is easy.
I believe that a strong economy is important but also possible while maintains a strong green agenda.
