The Greenbelt should not be…

The Greenbelt should not be touched. It is disgusting that Premier Ford is allowing developers who openly contribute to his campaign pressure him into giving up these important ecological areas. Doug Ford promised not to touch the Greenbelt. So much for his word. Ontario belongs to the people, not the developers. Pushing through this type of legislation without allowing the municipalities who will be affected most to have any say, is something that is done in a dictatorship, not a democracy. There is plenty of land which can be built on. It is not necessary to build on the Greenbelt. Allowing this will only make his developer friends richer, but will do nothing to help actually build affordable housing. This is corruption at its worst.
Most importantly, this land was protected for a reason. We cannot continue to destroy the environment without severe consequences. Loss of habitat and biodiversity have a negative effect on the environment. We are already seeing horrendous and costly effects of climate change. It is totally irresponsible to destroy land in ecologically sensitive areas. Keep your word Doug Ford. Hands off the Greenbelt.
