The conservation of the Greenbelt is vital to the ecosystem of Ontario. There are plenty of pre-existing buildings and houses that go unused and unlived in and it would be a wiser decision to make use of our established urban and suburban areas rather than cut further into what remains of the conserved land in Ontario.

I do not know who would want to live and build their lives in a country, let alone a province or state, that is on track to deplete the health and ecosystem within these coming years. It would be a decision made not for the interest and livlihood of the people, but for short-term economic pursuits of further land ownership and urban development.

It is not a reliable way to improve Canadians' quality of life, as we will continue to face economic struggles as long as property owners continue to create artificial demand for further urbanisation and housing therein. Demand can only go up for so long, there is only so much inhabitable land and we deplete it at astonishing rates- trying to prolong that rise in demand is not in the interest of the people, it is in the interest of the land owners.

We should not aim to become a feudalist society, we should be past that now.
