PREMIER FORD (& THE P.C.s) TRUE COLOURS ARE SHOWING

Today's Waterloo Region Record carries the following article titled "Environment Assessment Act redesign going through despite opposition". It was written by Leah Gerber who has been doing the environmental beat for numerous months now. The timing around this Act is suspect somewhat as was the federal government's slam against legitimate gun owners, collectors, shooters and hunters. Trudeau and the Liberals pulled thier stunt on the back of the multiple murders down east (New Brunswick?) by Gabriel Wortmann. Months later we learn that Mr. Wortmann was a professional drug dealer and gun smuggler (from the U.S.). Hence many of his firearms were illegal and unregistered therefore yet again proving that the vast, vast majority of legal firearms owners in this country are law abiding citizens of absolutely zero threat to anybody. But they do make an easy target for governments trying to impress the ill informed masses. ............................................................................................................... The timing I mentioned above relates to the Bill (Bill 197) being introduced July 8, 2020 and receiving royal assent less than two weeks later (July 21/20). In so doing the province of Ontario circumvented the Ontario Environmental Bill of Rights which insists on proper notice and time for public comment prior to finalization. The hypocrisy includes the fact that Ontario (Premier Ford) used the April 2020 emergency Covid-19 regulations to remove its duty to consult with the public on environmental legislation. Nice tie in that one. Environmental legislation = emergency Covid-19 regulations ??? Bull fritters! .............................................................................................................. This is Premier Ford giving us a glance at the always pro business, pro development, anti labour and anti environmental mindset of the Progressive Conservative Party. Ideological idiots especially when climate change is here and is devastating.
