I oppose Bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.

I am firmly opposed to Bill 5, the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act. This bill represents a grave threat to Ontario’s natural heritage, democratic accountability, and Indigenous rights. Read more

This is ridiculous and irresponsible. We share this planet. We do not have dominion over it. A balanced ecosystem is integral to our survival. I can’t believe we are still having this conversation. So disappointed in Ford’s money grubbing policies. Read more

Economic growth is grossly misused from the federal level down to the city level. It often delivers inequity to those who have no voice and no choice of their own. I absolutely oppose this Act. Read more

The process is slow and complex for a reason. Changing it is for one reason only, greed. It is our responsibility to ensure there is still a world to leave our children, grandchildren, etc. Read more

While I recognize that the Ontario government is keen to accelerate certain projects (business, transit, housing), there needs to be a higher priority given to protecting our natural environment. Species and habitat, once lost, are gone forever. Read more

I oppose this Bill. I want more protection to be placed on endangered species. I want the rights of endangered animals to increase, allowing for the conservation of their species as well for the ecosystems that they live in. Read more

I strongly oppose the implementation of these changes. These are reckless and unnecessary changes to an important Act that protects our precious biodiversity in Ontario. These species that could be lost due to a lack of protections can never been recovered again. Read more

1. Unleashing Nature? The term suggests freedom, but in reality, it could mean unchecked development. This shift in approach might lead to unintended consequences for our ecosystems and biodiversity. Read more

Please Kill Bill 5. - Bill 5 undermines the democratic process and is one of the worst pieces of legislation Ontario has ever seen. Industries will just have to register in order to operate without clear conditions to prevent harm to species. Read more

Absolutely not supporting this!!! Basically developer's do not need to wait for approval and instead just need to 'register' and continue with their plan, regardless if approved or not. Read more

I do not support Bill 5 and the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. Doug Ford has spoken out against Donald Trump’s comment about buying Canada, much to the relief of many. However, he is now going back on his word. These proposed changes are blatant hypocrisy. Read more

This bill is a death sentence for species at risk. This bill offers economic benefit for a few at the expense of species that our ecosystem requires to remain viable. We need a healthy ecosystem to continue to grow food - nothing Trumps the economy of supplying food to.us all.
