I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 5, The Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025. This legislation represents a dangerous rollback of environmental protections, particularly through the planned repeal of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Read more

As an Ontario born, raised, and long time resident I oppose bill 5. I want strong environmental protections for all endangered species that inhabit this land. I oppose short cuts for industries with no public oversight. Industries whose priorities are profit over the environment and its people. Read more

Bill 5 is not progress. It’s a betrayal of everything Ontarians value - our land, our wildlife, and our democratic voice. It puts endangered species in harm’s way so a handful of developers can profit. This is not leadership. It’s looting. Read more

Bill 5 is a direct affront to Indigenous sovereignty and stewardship. By repealing the Endangered Species Act and removing consultation requirements, the government is ignoring its duty to meaningfully engage Indigenous communities and uphold treaty rights. Read more

As a young Ontarian deeply concerned about the climate and biodiversity crises, I am horrified by Bill 5. It recklessly dismantles the Endangered Species Act and replaces it with a watered-down version that prioritizes corporate profits over our future. Read more

Ontario faces a housing affordability crisis, but Bill 5 is not the answer. Gutting environmental protections and repealing the Endangered Species Act will not make homes more affordable or communities more livable. It will only deepen inequality, environmental degradation, and public distrust. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 5. This legislation threatens Ontario’s wetlands, green spaces, and environmental protections at a time when we urgently need stronger, not weaker, safeguards. It prioritizes unsustainable development over the long-term health of our ecosystems and communities. Read more
