Oh, did the habitats of endangered species get in the way of your corrupt plans for selling off of Ontario public lands to wealthy friends and esteemed wedding guests? Doug Ford is a petty little man who can eat my shorts. Read more

I am opposed to Bill 5. Any bill that looks to ovveride rights and laws and lets corporations have free reign is dangerous and undemacratic. Please do not pass this bill for the well being of all Ontarians.

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.

The Ontario Government has consistently shown little to no regard for the environment, climate change, biodiversity or species protection. The Greenbelt was the most recent attack on our Natural Heritage followed by the Holland Marsh and now the Endangered Species Act. Read more

I am currently a resident of Oshawa, Ontario, having grown up in Ajax and living in Toronto during university. I abhor this bill and the way in which the Ford government seems perfectly happy to destroy Ontario's environment for the profit of himself, his friends, and other rich developers. Read more

This is an awful idea. Time in such matters is irrelevant. Quick decisions will have irreversible negative impact on environment, ecosystem, negative effects on Indigenous communities, just to name a few… so short sighted. Tho k of our nation, Canada and our environment - not money for a change.

I am writing to express my deep concern about Bill 5, the "Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act." Far from its title, this legislation threatens our province's natural heritage, democratic processes, and Indigenous rights. Read more

Removing the advisory board and permitting the government to remove species from a protected list is short-sighted. Further, allowing development to proceed without a permit could certainly lead to degraded habitats and harm to populations that may never recover.
