Food shortages are becoming so bad that we can't find things in grocery stores anymore. The government should be changing and creating policies so that building developers start creating new apartment buildings again, not paving over farmland with thousands of soulless, cookie-cutter townhouses out in the middle of nowhere. These new neighborhoods do not even contain any stores or offices, they're just feeder neighborhoods for already overwhelmed inner city infrastructure. They clog our streets and highways, increase commute times and pollution, and put strain on our electrical and water grids. Why did developers stop building new apartment buildings? Not condos, but actual rentable apartments? Fix whatever caused that issue so that developers are encouraged to build up the inner city again, and if they can't be encouraged to do so, you should strongly discourage or outright ban the paving over of green spaces.

Destruction of significant wetlands, floodplain infringement, drinking water quantity/quality degradation, and food shortages are all outcomes being overlooked by the Ontario Provincial Gov't.
