Re: Bill 5 and Ford's destructive policies " How strange. No government has been able to make a railway or road through the muskeg surrounding the Ring of Fire for 200 years.

A truly terrible policy. Well, it's good for some. Developers will love it. But it's short sighted. It's not sustainable. It's an act of destruction in the name of progress and development.

We are experiencing a global biodiversity crisis. The proposed replacement of the Endangered Species Act in Ontario is a disappointing and inappropriate action. This proposal suggests that the Provincial government does not value species at risk in Ontario. Read more

I highly discourage repealing any kind of laws or regulations that protect endangered species for the sake of the economy. This is short-sighted/short-term thinking that will result in long-term issues pertaining to the environment. Read more

Environmental protections are in place for many reasons. Do not forsake the most vulnerable populations -- the plants animals, birds, insects of vast variety. In saving their habitats, we're able to create healthier communities for ourselves. Read more
