The health of the Greenbelt…

The health of the Greenbelt affects the quality of drinking water for more than seven million Canadians. : described by both Environment Canada, and CWRS.

The green belt has been a protected piece of land for 70 years by our forebearers and belongs to all Canadians providing 2.3 billion dollars in natural area services according to the Greenbelt Foundation.

The greenbelt absorbs runoff from summer thaws and protects 244 million dollars of property from seasonal flooding. according to the Greenbelt Foundation.

In conclusion, As a Canadian, I will never forgive this government for stealing our collective wealth to open the escarpment to development to service special interests personal greed to the detriment of all future generations. We need high-density housing, not multi-million-dollar McMansions. Have you considered rezoning high-density office space abandoned in Toronto for high-density housing for instance?; Or squared block-style modern megaplexes that can act as high-density satilight communities? We are in the modern age we require modern solutions, not more properties to be bought up and held by foreign capital escaping from Asian and overseas markets. We need a plan that serves Canadian citizens, not Canadian financial institutions and private stakeholders.
