I don't want the provincial government to touch the Greenbelt. A country must sustain its own food supply to thrive. There's plenty of land in and around populated areas where housing can be built. Some bylaws may need adjusting to facilitate it.

There are hundreds of abandoned buildings that need to be fixed up or torn down so new housing can be built on the existing footprint. As part of that, poisoned land needs to be cleaned up.

More incentives need to be established for builders to do this expensive work. Everyone will benefit if land is reclaimed.

I live in a town with 31K people, with more moving here from the GTA every day. Fort Erie is expected to double in size in the next 20 years. There is no city bus or dedicated taxi service. Uber is hard to get.

Ontario needs to put some effort into making public transit including trains more widely accessible. The state of public transit is appalling.

One thing I am happy about is the inclusion of promising communication with Indigenous peoples. That is a positive development.

Stop looking for profits and start helping average people to survive in this economy. Food, housing and inflation are driving people out of Ontario. The most beautiful place on Earth is suffering. Ontarians are watching what you do.
