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.

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

Clearly, Ontario Bill 5 is tabled to undermine local democracy and governance by centralizing power and limiting the ability of municipalities to make decisions that reflect the unique needs and priorities of their communities. Read more

I oppose Bill 5 and support strong environmental protections for endangered species. There should be no special allowances for industry to short cut when it comes to protecting endangered species or species at risk. Overriding the law should not be allowed, even in special economic zones.

Dear Premier Ford, I am writing to express my strong frustration and disappointment with your government’s decision to drop Bill 5. This move is not only deeply concerning — it feels like a blatant disregard for democratic process and public input. Read more
