The world is on the edge and within a short time it could be too late for all life as we know it to exist on this planet. We must include the environment in every part of what we are doing and protect habitat that has species with nowhere else they can survive in. Read more

How much building do we need? In the first 10/15 years of my life, squirrels and birds were about the only animals you really saw in the city of Burlington. Now bunnies are everywhere, skunks are seen frequently, deer are often seen and we have a coyote watch, with signs across the city. Read more

I am disgusted by this government on every single level. My city is a joke. My province is disgusting. And the entire country needs a wake up call. The fact that you care more about business than the actual planet for which you live on is mind blowing. These animals are at risk of distinction. Read more

Opening up Ontario for business and thus, presumably, improving our economy does not mean that you have a carte blanche to put at even greater risk Ontario's species-at-risk. Let's look at the bigger picture. Let's consider the legacy we leave for our children and grandchildren.

This review poses an opportunity to tighten up regulations so that industry and developers are not able to avail themselves of all the existent exemptions. Our too many species at risk must have their habitat protected so that they may turn a corner and return in healthy numbers. Read more

Habitat should not be disturbed or polluted. This includes air, water and soil. The time is here to make new human habitat intelligently with knowledge we already have. It is being done here successfully by one developer. Read more
