Who made the unrealistic increase of Ontarians to 14 million?
What is the reason for this number, that has caused developers to raise the price of land so high that FARMERS can't afford to farm? The average age of a farmer in Ontario is 65. Why would they stay at a job that has become so increasing hard?
How can the government force us to adhere to this amount of farm land disappearing (at a rate of 319 acres a day (reference Ontario Federation of Agriculture.)
During COVID this same government told us to buy Canadian products. How do they expect us to feed cattle, sheep, pigs, turkey's, chickens and milking cows?
How will we feed 14 million people without farm land?
The government should be focusing money on our over crowded hospitals and schools not the Immigration budget of 2022 providing $1.3 over 5 years and $331.2 million on going to immigration, refugees and citizenship. This year budget contains $55 billion on Canadian immigration system (source. Canada.ca)
Health care "The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario report states "hospital capacity will considerably diminish by 2027-2028 due to surging demand while the government cuts their money by $21 billion. 2 million students are enrolled in Ontario schools, but that budget was cut by $1.6 billion in 2021-2022. Residents who have lived here for decades are being denided services while the government spends billions on new immigrants! I say STOP the spending and help our province thrive on it's own. Let us catch up with the damage that's already done. Stop and take a breath and asess what's already happening. Stop the developers from buying farm land, and stop the municipalities from allowing the farm land to be designated commercial or residential. In the original "Grow Ontario Act" A1 farm land was not to be touched. In the original Act Cities only in the GTA were to be growing by building high rises! Small towns in rural areas were never intended for building consideration.
