Bill 23 is wrong on so many…

Bill 23 is wrong on so many levels; setting aside that this government committed not to touch the greenbelt in the recent election cycle, it is a short-sighted plan with many negative long term consequences. We are currently facing a dual crisis in both health care and the environment already in Ontario. Rushing to take back ecologically important lands to build housing to support even more population growth will only make these problems worse. Particularly when the developer fees to support the build out of infrastructure and services are going down, and in some cases zero! We are only going to worsen basic services like healthcare, roads and public transit. Doesn't the quality of life matter for residents of Ontario matter more than the sheer population numbers !?!? I voted for this government on the back of fiscal responsibility and a commitment to maintaining the green belt and balancing infrastructure and housing needs. They will not get my vote next time if this goes through.
