Developers are already given significant leeway and fast-tracks under the current ESA. This repeal is not about reasonable reform. It is about opening the floodgates to unregulated destruction.
!!! Like seriously. Please.

Indigenous stewardship is not a token gesture. It is a legal and moral obligation. Proceeding without full consultation and consent is a violation of Indigenous rights and treaties.
This is the world you are handing to young Ontarians. What message does it send when you protect profit margins but not the living systems they will depend on to survive?
If the Endangered Species Act is repealed, you are not "streamlining" growth. You are accelerating extinction. You are building a wasteland. Once a species is gone, it is gone forever. There will be no apology strong enough to undo this.

You cannot separate the economy from the environment. Every road, every building, every drop of clean water depends on healthy ecosystems. Bulldozing habitats will create short-term construction profits and long-term economic collapse.

Ignoring Indigenous stewardship, rights, and traditional knowledge in this decision is an act of colonial arrogance. You are not just betraying the environment. You are violating your obligations to Indigenous Peoples, treaties, and reconciliation. This is not just a policy failure.

In the face of a biodiversity crisis, the only sane response is stronger protections, stronger recovery efforts, and stronger stewardship. You are proposing the exact opposite. You are gutting the very systems that make life possible. There is no justification for this level of destruction.
Scientists, Indigenous leaders, conservationists, and communities are all warning you. If you proceed, you will not be able to claim ignorance. You will be remembered as the government that chose collapse.
Repealing protections is not strength. It is cowardice. It is admitting you serve developers over people, profit over life. There is no excuse.
Nature is true wealth.

Biodiversity is the biological machinery that keeps the air clean, the soil fertile, the climate stable. Removing protections is removing your own life support system.
Developers will take their profits and leave when the soil is ruined and the waters poisoned. The people of Ontario will be left to survive in the wreckage you allowed.
Forests existed long before your ministries and buildings. They have survived ice ages, storms, and fires. It is arrogance to think you can erase them without consequence.
