Do NOT go through with this if you don't want Ontario to flood in the future!!!! Housing should not come at the cost of current and future generations experiencing natural disasters and enormous loss that COULD HAVE been prevented!!!!

Canada will be one of the few fortunate places where the impending climate catastrophe and flooding may be milder than the rest of the world. It would be a tragedy, embarrassment, and public betrayal to surrender that rare blessing to meddle with the Greenbelt.

This is SHORT-TERM THINKING with potentially devastating consequences. Your legacy will be death, destruction, and heartbreak if you do this.

As a young Ontarian who hopes to continue living here over decades, I am begging you not to remove one of the few flood-free places the world will have in the future. Consult with ecocritical urban planners and environmental academics to find better housing solutions -- it's your job.
