Doug Ford needs to stop. Stop pushing limits. And stop acting like Donald Trump. Ford is currently Premier of Ontario, not King of Ontario and he needs to start respecting the laws. All laws. Including the laws that protect endangered species in this province. Read more

I do not support the proposed changes to the endangered species act. Protecting vulnerable species is not red tape, it is ensuring due diligence for what we value as a culture. Not only will the proposed changes compromise environmental integrity, it will not expedite projects as intended. Read more

No! Endangered species need to be protected, that’s the reason they’re declared endangered. To even consider this is not looking at the big picture. We are all connected, even if one species goes it will affect us all. Read more

This is absolutely an attack on environmental law and should not be enacted. Our species at risk and the habitat they require should remain of utmost importance to protect the environment, indigenous rights, and human health. Read more

Ford govt appears to be supportive of environmental concerns and requiring assessment - then blows that out the window just like that - no moral decency and a commission should investigate the ethical background on the whole package Bill 2 is a SHAM! Read more

I am opposing the destruction and replacement of Ontario's Endangered Species Act. I am against: 1. Ministerial discretion to remove species from the legal protected list. Politicians should not replace the committee of scientists who dictate legal listing and protection decisions. Read more

Bill 5 makes no sense. We do NOT need to bypass environmental regulations. We do NOT need to fast-track industry. We certainly do NOT need people or corporations to be exempt from provincial and municipal laws. Read more

Creating and implementing legislation that removes controls, checks and balances is simply a power grab that removes transparency and allows for unethical activity to go unchecked. Read more

I strong OPPOSE Bill 5. I oppose government overreach. I oppose using tariffs as a distraction to seize more power for industry at the cost of our environment. I oppose governments not recognizing and respecting indigenous rights. This bill is disgusting in every way. Read more

We need to advocate for our endangered species, not eliminate the Endangered Species Act. Let us be a voice for creatures that have no voice. After all, humans themselves are close to being endangered.
