I strongly oppose Bill 5, the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act. This legislation poses a serious threat to Ontario’s natural heritage, democratic processes and Indigenous rights.

I strongly oppose this new legislation, which not only dismantles essential protections for endangered wildlife and ecosystems, but also disregards the rights and sovereignty of Indigenous communities.

Doug Ford only cares about money and power. He knows that the people of Ontario are against Bill 5 but he’s ignoring us as usual! Bill 5 must be stopped now! We must protect endangered and non-endangered species and their habitats! We can’t let him win!!!

I am writing to object in the strongest possible way to the proposed exemptions from the Environmental Bill of Rights that will remove the right of Ontarians to be advised of, or to comment on, any required permits at Ontario Place, on or off site, to support the project.

I am concerned about how the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act will impact the preservation of endangered and threatened species in the future.

I object to this proposal and value the ESA, changes to the ESA will undermine the process and create opportunities for exploitation of the system.

This Instagram post explains it all. It’s not rocket science. This bill is going to ruin our province. There is no need for one party, one man to have this much power.

I strongly oppose changes to the Endangered Species Act and proposal for the Species Conservation Act. Let’s be real, this is not about conservation, this is about prioritizing development at the cost of life on this planet.

I’m not surprised that Doug wants to brazenly push through protections that took decades to create. Jeopardizing the environment should be off the table, how is this even part of the discussion.
Dear Premier Ford, and Honorable Ministers,
I am writing in response to the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA, 2007) and eventually transition into new the Species Conservation Act (SCA, 2025).

The reason development is held up in my town is because of a lack of sewage infrastructure capacity - NOT because of protecting endangered and threatened species. You're going after the wrong situation.

Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025, represents one of the most significant and dangerous overhauls of environmental and Indigenous governance in Ontario’s recent history.

The Species at Risk Act should remain and not be repealed. Protecting species at risk protects whole ecosystems on which we depend. We cannot run roughshod over our environment. We have done this in the past and it has led to climate change, biodiversity loss and habitat degradation.

Canada’s greatness and beauty stem from its natural resources—especially its rich biodiversity. Removing the Endangered Species Act and protections around Ontario’s ecosystems will have devastating consequences for the province’s culture and environment.
