No, do not change the green…

No, do not change the green belt boundaries.

Forest and river ecosystems take time to grow and develop. Simply moving the boundary back does not grow a new forest overnight. It takes years to grow something that takes minutes to destroy.

This is a remarkably short sighted profit grab move. There are many vacant, unaffordable homes and properties in Toronto. Adding more area, will just add more speculative investment opportunities while ultimately doing nothing for the affordability and housing issues. This is not a policy that aims to help the average person. Bring back rent control regulations and tax vacant properties. Land lords and developers should not be making these policies.

Opening up "protected lands" is a breach of trust. The attempt to do this while the media is focused on the government's terrible handling of the union negotiations is just sneaky. I would not trust this government with any "protected lands" in the future.

We need more election years! It seems to be the only time the government does anything in the interest of the public. Stop sabotaging our social systems!
