I oppose bill 5. I want strong environmental protections in Ontario. I oppose short cuts for industries. Threatening endangered species and even possibly indigenous rights is greedy and corrupt. Read more

I strongly opposed bill 5.the endangered species act is important and I am advocating for stronger environmental protections. More protection for our environment, not less. Shortcuts to industry should not be allowed. Public oversight is imperative.

No! Do not change the Endangered Species Act! Species need to be protected. This planet belongs to all species, not just humans and we need to be the stewards of it - not the destructors. Read more
