KILL BILL 5 sq (1).jpg

It's not too late. The Greenbelt grab, Bill 23, was reversed a year after becoming law. 

Bill 5, the Protecting Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, raises serious red flags. It goes too far, too fast - drastically reducing public and scientific consultation, gutting protections for endangered species and the environment, sidelining Indigenous voices on issues that directly affect their lands and heritage and prohibits any legal action.

Protect Local Voices, Reject Bill 17!

ERO 025-0462, Proposed Regulations

Complete Application of Bill 17, Protect Ontario by Building Faster and Smarter Act, 2025, is extremely damaging to municipal oversight and public input, especially when paired with Bill 5. It can override official plans, ignore intensification and green building standards and do away with environmental assessments. 

 

Call on the Ontario Premier, and both provincial ministers, to involve municipalities in how processes could be streamlined for the right kind of housing in the right places instead of limiting their local oversight even further and putting developers first.​

Every action counts

Doing your part for a healthy planet.

 

Aside from being kind to yourself when considering what often feels like a daunting task, here are some suggestions by members of CANA of things that can be done

Have
your say

Minister Lecce: Get with Clean, Green Energy

Copy and paste the following letter into your email

 

Honourable Minister Lecce,

 

Despite being disconcerted when you assumed your new role as Minister of Energy and Electrification by the combativeness of your initial comments claiming that anyone supporting non-carbon emissions power generation was an ideologue, recent overtures seemed to indicate a possible turnaround regarding renewable energy sources and the call for new projects. 

 

Hopeful for a 100% renewable energy power grid,  you then stated that the government is energy agnostic and that gas plants will be part of the energy mix.   Can we assume that if a financially viable coal plant was offered, that given your agnosticism, you would select this as an option?  No,  you would not because you know that coal is a terrible fossil fuel that contributes significantly to global warming. Therefore,  you are not agnostic about what fuel is used to generate power in Ontario.  

 

Gas should be on your list as another fossil fuel that contributes to global warming and as such should not be part of the future plans for Ontario energy generation.  There are so many sources of information for a renewable energy future for Ontario, yet Enbridge and other gas firms seem to capture the attention of companies like Atura Power, and your attention.  The future of Ontario’s economy (and the world’s) is new leading edge clean technology not legacy fossil fuel firms.

 

Two examples of the myriad sources outlining a renewable energy future for Ontario that is comprehensive, affordable, sustainable and good for the environment and the economy:  

 

The Big Switch - Electricity in Canada | Canadian Climate Institute

 

Shifting Power: Zero-Emissions Electricity Across Canada by 2035

 

Please consider and forge a new innovative path for a carbon emissions-free Ontario.

 

Thank you for your time and attention to creating a better world for our children and grandchildren
