Good Morning, I am a…

Good Morning,

I am a resident of York Region, and unfortunately for Doug Ford, I am also the daughter of a midwife in Ontario. I can see very clearly, through experience and evidence, that this is a fundamental change designed to further create disparate wealth. This proposal of re-designating the Greenbelt, along with a loose promise of re-addition of Greenbelt in the future, is inherently wrong, misleading, and fundamentally designed to further erode the public good and earth-bound right of access and caring for natural land. May I point out that this is Stolen Land. May I point out the disaster of the 407 and the promises that were not fulfilled, and the apathy that has been projected onto our community about how it cannot be figured out now that the train is rolling. May I point out that the developers came to him with this idea and that this government may be at the mercy of their lack of critical thinking due to their pockets being lined by their private interest. May I point out that the value of natural land is not measured in dollars and you can never go back from where this goes. Finally, may I point out that there are two documents to submit comments to here, which is confusing and obviously designed to distribute public pressure to look less intense which is probably the purpose being. You know exactly what I am getting at. Don't think that you will get away with this because people need parks near their white picket fences. No one needs fences. No one needs more highways. We need community. We need leadership out of private interest. We can densify cities and make them great. We have enough parks. The earth is not our playground. The earth is dying from greed, ignorance, and disruption. You cannot go back from this planned disaster and if it takes me, rallying the people who did not vote for this government then so be it. Shame on us all if this passes in 13 days, while being distracted and oppressed by this government in every way. I'm not fooled. Don't threaten me with a good time, I am mobilizing my community now. We do not even begin to understand the implications of this decision, but we do know we have the power and an instinct that something is very wrong here. We will not see this amendment done ever. This is a slippery slope. This is a Trojan Horse. This is the end of us having a memory of the Earth as it was. This is wrong. Deep down. We all know it. Personally, I am making this my mission and what you have woken up in me, I can only truly thank you. This government thinks it has protection from reality, well I have protection as well and I have been waiting for this all my life.

Sincerely,

A daughter of the Earth
