I am deeply concerned that the proposed legislation will accelerate habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation and species loss. This will result in degraded ecosystem function and will be detrimental to human health and wellbeing.

I strongly oppose this bill! The way to a prosperous economy for Ontario is not through our sacred, protected, and dwindling wetlands, short hills, forests, beaches, and waters. Environmental protections cause delays for good reason! Read more

I am deeply concerned with the proposal to eliminate Ontario's Endangered Species Act. As a proud Ontarian, it is disappointing to see the province taking steps backward in conservation. Read more

No to Bill 5. We see what's happening south of us. Let's take a pause and stop repeating history. Sometimes concessions need to be made. We need to honour the Indigenous peoples- not just pay lip service and we need to honour the environment as well. Read more

Doug Ford this smells like a Trump /Republican move. This is not responsible government. You are going back on promises and this will be your legacy. Do not replicate the BS we see south of the border. Represent Ontario NOT the developers.

We love our birds — they are a vital part of Ontario’s beauty and biodiversity. Protecting endangered birds should be non-negotiable. Weakening these protections puts irreplaceable species and habitats at risk. Ontario must prioritize conservation over short-term development. Read more

Unchecked development, removing habitat protection, eliminating recovery strategies and accountability, removing the needs for permits/review before killing/harming a species, allowing unqualified government officials to make decisions that should be based on science, not convenience. Read more
