Yes we need more housing but there are places that are under used. Control things like air b & b and corporate ownership, increase population density, there are unused lots & commercial properties. We can do this without sprawl or depriving ourselves of green space.

I oppose this bill. I support stronger endangered species protection, not weaker. I support stronger environmental protections, now weaker. I oppose fast tracking approvals of construction projects. I oppose overriding the law in special interest zones. Read more

I oppose bill 5. This bill does not represent what the vast majority want for Ontario. We need stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.

Bill five weakens the mandate of conservation authorities limits public consultation and increases risks to wetlands, force and watersheds at a time when biodiversity loss and climate resilience are urgent. Priorities we should be strengthening not dismantling Ontario’s environmental safeguards. Read more

I am opposed to any bill that gives agency to destroy natural habitats or puts any animal species at risk. I am also opposed to any bill that allows Doug Ford to engage in attacking our natural environments, which he has no right to touch. Read more

I oppose Bill 5 because it weakens protections for endangered species in Ontario. Letting developers pay instead of protecting habitats is wrong. We need stronger laws to protect wildlife, not weaker ones. Please protect our environment and stop this bill.

I'm writing to express my deep concern to the government of Ontario's proposal to repeal the Endangered Species Act through the tabling of Bill 5, the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act. The government is erroneously pitting environmental protection against economic growth. Read more

No. I completely oppose Bill 5. The government of Ontario should not have the power to alter the endangered species list without expert consultation. This list needs to be determined by which species are endangered, not by which projects are inconvenienced by endangered species. Read more
