PC Conservatives are really…

PC Conservatives are really out of touch with Canadians if you truly believe that paving over already scarce green land that protects our neighbourhoods and communities from floods and other natural disasters to build million dollar homes is the solution to our housing crisis. On average, regular Canadians are making less than $70,000 a year and with rising gas prices, cost of food, rising mortgage rates, and a government who continues to choose to back their rich donors instead of fighting for a decent living for ALL Canadians. We do not need another section of costly subdivisions which are most likely to start in the $850k - $1m range so who is this really helping??

Back in 2003, Caledon was recognized as the "Greenest Town in Ontario" - well how can I be proud to live in a town which prioritizes the agenda of wealthy developers instead of being an innovative sustainability leader for all towns in Ontario.

What the government needs to do is by starting with:
- More affordable housing near public transportation (to reduce gas, parking and transportation costs). Most Canadians want to live near public transportation to reduce their costs and environmental impact but simply cannot afford to because of greedy landlords who continue to raise rent prices.
- Invest more in public transportation. We need to strengthen our public transportation in the Caledon region as many folks are choosing to move to the Peel region from Toronto (like myself). PCs need to recognize that climate change is real and continues to damage our ecology and by doing so, investing in sustainable modes of transportation.
- Rent control to help Canadians who want to live near subway lines and city-owned public transportation afford rent and to keep greedy landlords at bay
- Create incentives and support for young Canadians who want to enter the real estate market but cannot due to inflammatory prices/interest rates. We all have grown up with the Canadian dream of being established in your career, owning your own home and starting a family which is no longer a reality for the majority of Canadians. I have heard stories of people selling their houses to live with their parents due to rising costs, many putting off family planning and having kids because of the rising costs. I myself cannot afford to get married and am choosing not to have a child in this current economic state because I fear that it would put me into debt. These are the real concerns of average Canadians.

You and your party need to become more in touch with what will actually impact Canadians and reduce their stress of living. Everyday it seems like something is going wrong in this province with this government, it's time for a change. Canadians want change and we want to do so with innovation and sustainability at the forefront.
