Please don't take this as a personal jibe. It's not intended as such. I happend to agree with most of the sentiments in the petition.
But please realize that online petitions have little to no effect on government policy. Rather, they're manifestations of "slacktivism", the idea that putting one's name to something constitutes participation in the political process. It's not. Calling your MPP, getting the commercial media involved, and taking the time to actually engage the process is what has a positive benefit.
Again, I think the intent of the petition is sound. I agree with its principles. But it will not affect the Ontario govenment one iota.
