To Doug Ford
Stop ruining our beautiful province!
Replacing beautiful farmland, wetlands and green space is a terrible thing to do and will affect generation after generation.
With international political unrest and climate change affecting us all, we have a dire need for food security. Building on farmland, it will never be farmland again. Same for green spaces and wetlands. Wetlands protect us all by sequestering the carbon and other gases that promote climate change. Green spaces protect our wildlife. Destroying these lands will have a negative impact on the environment. Everything has to have balance and the balance of plant, human and wildlife is not balanced any more and is getting worse each year.
Yes, we need more housing. But build up instead of out. There are lots of places to build up in areas that are already residential. There are lots of condos in Toronto that have empty suites. Just because people want to "escape to the country" doesn't mean they should, at the cost to the rest of society and wildlife.
