MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, CONSERVATION & PARKS....OR...MINISTRY OF EXPANDED CORPORATE POLLUTION?

Seriously? Does anyone who reads this Blog not know the answer to that question? .................................................................................................................. Two days ago the Waterloo Region Record published an article titled "Premier Ford delivers an early Christmas-for his friends". The article is a listing of recent self-serving legislative changes. Self-serving that is to friends, political supporters and cronies of the Ontario Premier. You know between Donald Trump in the U.S. and Doug Ford in Canada (Ontario), we electors really are incredibly dumb. Those are two people, born with silver spoons in their mouths, inherently non-intellectual, non-smart, non-common sense individuals totally qualified to play golf, drink beer and socialize. ........................................................................................................................ Some of these Christmas presents are non-environmental in nature such as letting owners and directors of long term care homes "...off the hook for liability for their well-documented shoddy operations during COVID." Others such as hammering provincial Conservation Authorities are definitely environmental as they give developers free rein to do what they do best which is make money at others expense including at the environment's expense. Allowing Doug Ford's friend Charles McVety "...to get his Christian College turned into a university." really is an abuse of authority plus a disgusting precedent which can only help diminish the value of university degrees. Even the logging industry in Ontario can smile as Doug Ford through Schedule 8 "...exempts them from prohibitions against destroying the habitat of endangered species." ............................................................................................................ Ahh the joys of power and money. The rich get richer as they always have by destroying fellow human beings, other "lesser" species here on earth and the environment itself. Rejoice all you merry gentlemen that at least a few of us are profiting from the slow destruction of planet earth.

    Why are you always so anti government (any level), anti judicial and police, anti consultants, anti big business and in general anti authority? Also what do you achieve with your acronyms?

    "acronyms"? It took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about. Ahh MECP or Ministry of Expanded Corporate Pollution is your problem. Well humour sometimes is a better way to criticize than calling corrupt bodies accurate names. Regarding my being anti government, big business, authority etc. that is not accurate. I am anti abusive and corrupt government, big business and so called authority who over reach and expand their authority beyond the prescribed limits. All levels of government and corresponding authorities try this from time to time and require public protest and "disobedience" to limit their usurping of authority they have not been legally granted.
