According to the Ontario…

According to the Ontario Housing Task Force implemented by your government, Ontario's housing needs do not need to extend into the Greenbelt. No need.
The numbers used by your government add up in this way: 1.5 million homes at a conservative 3 people per means 5 million people housed in Ontario by 2031. In the same time duration, the Federal government will bring in 5 million (500,000 per year) new residents to all of Canada.
Does this mean Ontario will house all of every resident/immigrant trying to come to Canada?
Your government's numbers would imply so.
Yet last year 2022 the majority of new immigrants chose to live in either the East Coast particularly Halifax area or the Yukon.
Your statement that more people are choosing to live in Ontario does not follow suit with this data.

As reported elsewhere, the suspicious sale of Greenbelt properties just before Oct. 2022 when your government first announced the More Homes Built Faster Act as Bill 23 bleeds with negative possibilities.

Please check with Colin Best president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario for more on how Ontario already
has 1.23 million dwellings proposed and approved, before including Doug Ford's announced goal of 1.5 million dwellings.
The problem according to Mr. Best is a severe supply chain shortage of everything to do with building and a severe shortage of
skilled tradespeople. These problems cannot be solved through what your government is proposing.

Finally, your government's heavy handling of all items environmental, flagrantly disregarding what all Climate Change experts are telling us, including the new research into non-smoking caused lung cancer now seen to be caused by car particle emissions, point to the dangers of creating more suburban sprawl, more need for cars, more pollution.

Simply building more will not solve the real problem with housing in Ontario: affordable housing. Affordable housing as you know is said to be mortgages of no more than 30% of income. With the current average price of a home in Toronto for example at 1.4 million, only multi millionaires can afford a mortgage in Toronto. That's an example of the real housing problem.

Eliminating the developer fees in an attempt to court more developers to build more does nothing to resolve the supply chain problems, nor the lack of skilled tradespeople. Those fees landing on the heads of residents in Ontario so their municipal taxes rise by the egregious amount of, for example in Stouffville, of 53% in the next five years, only adds to the burden the average person, trying to make a living and make a life in Ontario must bear.

In short, the policies of your government seem destined to increase the flight of new residents to affordable places such as Halifax, Calgary, and the Yukon. The policies of your government do nothing to help those in most need of housing: the seniors, students, Indigenous people, differently abled, as the prices of the homes as well as the increases in municipal taxes bear down against them. The policies of your government do nothing to ameliorate the increasing crisis in climate now scientifically ratified. Science also ratifies simple antidotes to our current climate crisis: densification of dwellings leading to using fewer cars, increased green space including more trees everywhere.

With your government's desire to force open the Greenbelt, increase suburban sprawl, increase car pollution, cater to developers by giving them no fees, new intensification of taxes on residents, silence on the issue of supply chain problems and lack of skilled tradespeople Ontario faces a bleak future indeed.

We must return to protecting our environment at all costs, building only affordable housing in urban areas, renovating buildings where possible, re-using materials whenever possible, reducing car pollution everywhere, planting more trees, protecting our wetlands and preparing for a different future, one that puts climate ahead of dollars.
