Like so many other Ontario…

Like so many other Ontario residents, I wish to strongly oppose Bill 23. Reasons for opposition to altering protection for the Greenbelt were expertly outlined by MPP Stephanie Bowman in addressing the Legislature. It would benefit only Ford's developer donors and impoverish citizens in loss of farmland, severe damage to the environment, and the cost of expensive infrastructure to build suburban sprawl. There is plenty of urban land available for the kind of habitation that's really necessary--thoughtfully designed apartment homes for more residents; the extensive land along the Eglinton Crosstown route is an obvious example of a place to build.
