Razing protected lands in…

Razing protected lands in the Greenbelt, changing migratory patterns, disrupting agriculture production all in the name of housing. It's a massive blow to the province's environmental efforts, which are not just a nice thing to do, but essential given we are living in a climate crisis that is only getting more serious. It's also creating massive sprawl and more dependency on car use -- additional negative effects on environmental efforts.

This change, allegedly for housing. It seems so odd when there's a very simple thing that the provincial government could to do rapidly and seamlessly boost the opportunity for housing: end exclusionary zoning province wide. A simply change to the law. That's it. Easy.

I urge this government to take the simple route, the route that won't disrupt protected lands, that won't hinder endangered species, that won't further curtail environmental efforts.

Mr Ford, Mr Clark, spare the Greenbelt. And end exclusionary zoning.
