This proposal sets a dangerous precedent that the delicate ecological balance of Ontario's wildlife and natural environments can be sold to the highest bidderon the whim of a single political party, with limited insight from any actual environmental scientists, conservationists, indigenous people's with ties to said land, or the other peoples who may inhabit areas nearby that would be irreparably changed by expansive land development proposals. It's goal is very clearly to further line the pockets of greedy politicians and their "non-affiliated" construction contractor lackies who couldn't care less for the harm they cause Ontarian life because their sole interest lies in their own financial gains and not in any sort of altruistic desire to provide more housing for Ontarians. This province is full of abandoned roadside towns and run-down townships with struggling infrastructure that would require far less funding to reinvest in as functional housing, but instead we continue to pour time, energy, money, and useless political waffling into trying to expand an increasingly overpriced and uncomfortable GTA out into Ontario's Greenbelt, while simultaneously asking it to produce increasingly more food and denser farmlands to sustain this province. We do not get more farmland magically when we erase it to build more cheaply put together townhouse developments that are neither conveniently located or sturdy enough to attract all but the most desperate of buyers. There's no easy solution to Ontario's housing crisis, but this surely isn't it.
