I do not support this! Ford should keep his promise that he would not touch the Greenbelt; he broke that promise; that's not acceptable. The new builds will not be affordable housing, they only serve to make developers rich. Most will have no services and will increase car commuter traffic which in turn adds to climate change. Much of this land is scarce prime agricultural land. "We have the greatest concentration of Class 1 soil in all of Canada in southern Ontario. It's a finite resource. Census data show that Ontario has lost roughly 40 per cent of its farmland since 1941, including over 1.5 million acres between 1996 and 2016, the most of any Canadian province or territory. Once that land is paved over, there is no going back.
