I do not support weakening…

I do not support weakening the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This act protects the health and biodiversity of our wildlife. It ensures we consider the impacts development projects and initiatives will have on the environment.

Since the ESA has slowly been eroded these last few years, many animals and birds have been identified as “at risk” or “endangered”. Species all over the world are dying off at terrifying, human-induced rates. If you continue down this path, Ontario will lose the magnificent species that make this province the jewel it is.

Protection of our wildlife is not “red tape”. The well-being of our flora and fauna has implications for our own health and well-being. Developers and heavy industry should NOT be given carte blanche to steamroll over sensitive habitats. If you have any soul you will not roll back these protections.
