The Greenbelt is one of the…

The Greenbelt is one of the world’s largest protected area of farmland, forests, rivers/lakes, and wetlands. Taking away this protection would not only do irreparable damage to the ecosystems of these lands but would have an immeasurable impact on climate change and the climate crisis. If you can’t care about the climate, the Greenbelt is also a huge part of the economy by protecting farmlands to ensure food production (and income for local farmers) and outdoor recreation/tourism opportunities.

Building housing on this type of land would also be widely unsuccessful as much of the land is prone to flooding, which would not only not help the housing crisis but would, in the end, feed into the crisis.

Taking away these protections so that Doug Ford’s millionaire friends can build the millions dollars mansions is not only a laughably bad idea but down right irresponsible and dangerous.

The government should be focusing on rebuilding or repurposing the building that we already have in order to create more substantial and less damaging low income housing which could actually help towards the housing crisis, rather than focusing on padding the pockets of the Premier’s buddies and destroying our environment in the process.

This is not the housing we need!!!
