We are literally in the…

We are literally in the middle of a climate emergency. Full stop.

You cannot simply reallocate green space elsewhere to make up for taking this away, it's not how it works. On top of that, this government promised to leave the greenbelt untouched (video still up on Twitter).

This is not the answer to the housing crisis. Creating more sprawl will make it worse and it will create larger climate issues. We need more densification of housing, not more sprawl. We need better and cheaper access to public transit in dense areas. We cannot sprawl our way out of a housing crisis or a climate emergency. We need to do better and change how we think.

No to opening the greenbelt. No to Highway 413. These actions will only make developers richer, it will not solve the housing crisis and it compound our construction emergency.

Listen to the experts, stop this action.
