Doug Ford promised in 2018 to not touch the greenbelt. We just recently had an election and he did not campaign on this proposed change -- because he knew he would receive backlash as he did in 2018. However, it's very clear that this was always an objective, and the party is now using a housing crisis to push it through. We know that PC party donors bought parcels of land in the affected areas and now stand to profit from this proposal. This is a corrupt and undemocratic action, and it sets a precedent for further encroachment into the Greenbelt. We will not get these environmentally sensitive lands back once we open them up to development. There is already plenty of land available for development and densification should be our focus, not never-ending sprawl. I do not support this change.
