I am sickened by the fact…

I am sickened by the fact the government wants to pave over 7,400 acres of protected land. This land is already an established home for many species. This land needs to be protected because biodiversity is drastically shrinking and the green belt captures a significant amount of carbon which prevents the acceleration of global warming.

Further, this plan has nothing to do with solving the housing affordability crisis or building homes for real people. If this government was truly interested in helping people find a home, it would commit to building more affordable homes for Ontarians, bringing in stronger rent control measures, building missing middle homes in existing neighbourhoods and clamping down on speculation. There are plenty of places to build homes without destroying the Greenbelt.
