Ontario has had intelligent people make some very good regulations about environment, wetlands and housing. These regulations have allowed opinions from many non governmental groups. This should not be stopped as they represent knowledge and history of the land and wetlands that is not represented by government interests.
Ontario is a big beautiful province. Why make it easier to build on life sustaining and climate ameliorating wet lands in the south when there are municipalities who would love to have more housing? If more housing was built further from these wetlands it would be beneficial to more communities. Densification in the centres we have already, especially in the NORTH where there are facilities to serve those homes built would be a viable alternative. Densification and change in zoning to allow this would be able to provide housing in the space already occupied by the built environment.
A great Canadian once said ‘They paved paradise and put up a parking lot’.
We need our wetlands for water, a basic human need.
Today, toput up single family homes on unbuilt wild wet lands is a crime.
