I do not agree with the proposed changes to the greenbelt. The greenbelt is protected land for a reason, making changes to it will lead to devastating negative effects to our environment. In a time when global warming is such a threat, our government should be doing everything within its power to protect our environment and green spaces, not putting a highways through them and selling off protected land to developers. Ford’s government has suggested that this is a move towards more housing in the city of Toronto. However this is faulty thinking. We need affordable housing in Toronto, that’s not going to come from building single family homes on the outskirts of the city. Money would be better spent building apartments that are cost effective, and affordable to Torontonians. Housing the growing population. It is so very clear that the Ford Government does not care about its citizens. Ford said he had heard the people and they didn’t not want him to touch the greenbelt, evidenced on video, and yet that was clearly a lie as he’s gone back on his word and wants to make drastic changes to the greenbelt. Ford’s interests are his own. These proposed changes don’t aline with the best interests for Ontario’s citizens or the environment in general. Ford should not be allowed to touch the greenbelt.
