Leave Ontario's farmland for farming --- not housing. Once it's gone, it's gone --- so is any chance of Ontario food supply independence. Intensify within urban boundary --- leave rural agricultural lands rural, ready for whenever needed. Climate change implications make sparing vacant farmland from development essential --- for future food production. Study after study (including those commissioned by Ontario government) have stated the truth: There is no shortage of land for housing --- there are shortages of materials and skilled labor. Hands off farmland. Think of produce for people, not profits for developers.
