I oppose bill 5. I oppose reducing environmental protections and reducing biodiversity and green corridors. I oppose fast tracking permits for industry without public oversight. This isn‘t the USA! I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 5, the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act. This legislation poses a serious threat to Ontario’s natural heritage, democratic processes and Indigenous rights. Read more

The proposed changes to the endangered species act decimate an already fragile attempt at protecting nature. Proposing voluntary action to protect nature does not work; it allows developers to get away with building more projects with no accountability for consequences. Read more

This Bill doesn't prioritize Ontarians, it allows selective priority to be given to industries at the expense of our environment, and average citizens. We need more environmental protections and industry standards, not less.

This will destroy ecosystems and open doors for Doug Ford to develop land for his buddies. He tried coming for the green belt and now it’s this. Do not pass this bill. The people of Ontario don’t want it.

I am totally apposed to Bill 5. I am very concerned about the environment and our endangered species that are under threat on the daily. Please think nature before profits. I am a Canadian and that means being a steward for these lands and waters for future generations. Thank you.

The idea of giving the government the power to remove a species from the endangered list does not sit well from me. What's stopping the government from simply removing a species from the list that's blocking their political donor's developments?

We say NO to this proposed bill. We love Canada for the trees, the water, the mountains, the salmon and the bears. We need to do everything we can to protect our home environment not rush to destroy it. We say NO! Read more

No to Bill 5. No to overriding environmental laws, wiping out endangered species protections, and silencing Indigenous + public voices — all to fast-track. This is not what we voted for. Read more

As a lifelong resident of Ontario, I strongly oppose Bill 5 and the threat it poses to our environment. This bill is a step in the wrong direction. We are in the middle of a climate and ecological crisis, and now is the time to strengthen environmental protections not weaken them. Read more
