I don't understand why a green belt expansion has to connect physically and functionally to the existing green belt. I live in Brant County and I find it infuriating that we can't provide enhanced protection of our natural areas. This is stressful. We all work hard, and we try to enjoy our time off. But what are we working towards if the natural areas are constantly being torn-up for infrastructure/houses/etc. We are seeing a decline in many of our amphibians and reptiles, as well as other species. Brant County has some of the best growing conditions in Canada, but for some reason someone thinks houses are more important than food. So what's the point in living in this province if everything we love will just be destroyed? We need vision and leadership in this province, however, I feel ripped-off with the pile of MZO's that have accumulated. Take away farm land, I feel ripped-off. Build more >$500,000 houses to eleviate housing shortage, I feel ripped off. Not expanding the greenbelt to include the Grand River Valley, forest ANSI's, wetland complexes, and Paris-Galt Moraine, again I feel ripped-off. Greed vs. Values.
