Please do not increase the spread of urbanization into Ontario's farmlands. Big mistake if done, can not be undone once everything is built. There is prime land all throughout Canada with larger farmlands in other provinces- why is Ontario only considered? With a decrease in farmlands will come an increase in our carbon footprint due to an increase in urbanization. The QEW and the 401 highways are stacked beyond stacked with cars and you want to add millions more? This will never stop and the change in the landscape will result in overpopulation of Ontario with probably not much job growth with AI looming in the future which would equal poverty. Farmlands are our rich resources. With an increase in world population daily so it seems- doesn't farmland and food resonate with improvement of life? Please do not destroy Ontario's farmlands. The Greenbelt agriculturally, is incredibly useful. To address the concern of not enough housing, perhaps building homes and buildings in a less densely populated area might be a better idea such as northern Ontario? Or Saskatchewan? Or Manitoba? I do not wish for Ontario to become a New York building jungle. What do you say?
