I venomently pose Bill 5. This bill would be disastrous to the ecosystems and species of this province and reeks of Trump's influence and politics. It is vastly disappointing that the government of Ontario would even consider such a bill and attempt to rush it through Parliament. Read more

The proposed changes to the protections for Species At Risk in Ontario would, if enacted, result in great harm to Ontario’s already dwindling populations of native plants and animals. The harmful effects will be most pronounced in Ecoregion 7E, the Carolinian Zone of Ontario. Read more

I’m writing to express my deep concerns about Bill 5. If passed, Bill 5 would be an unprecedented attack on the Rule of Law and on Endangered Species protections in Ontario. Read more

I am strongly opposed to the proposed changes to the species at risk act. I feel very strongly about environmental protection in Ontario. The United Nations has put out a call to the world about the risks of decline in biodiversity. Read more
