Please reverse this short…

Please reverse this short sighted decision. This will be seen in the future as a very narrowed vision foolish and lazy solution like many others before it (privatization of 404 anyone?). We need to value what is right and spend the time to solve problems like urban sprawl rightly, not with quick fixes that enrich easily at the cost of our protected environment.

Canada has so much land area, but so much concentration of population in small city centers. The reason being that it is too difficult to commute or telecommute.

Covid proved working from home is productive and cost advantageous. Incentivize this so more companies employ this method of work and allow workers to live further away from city centers.

Investing in high speed rail like they have in Japan would be a huge and effective solution to allowing workers from further away to work in city centers. It also does a lot for that country's tourism offering. Imagine. Good tourists flow in Ontario.

Incentivize major companies to open offices further away from city centers. There are beautiful places in Ontario that many employees would love to live near if only there were places to get good jobs.

Don't make this mistake and instead do what is right.
