The Greenbelt is meant to be…

The Greenbelt is meant to be protected green space for the enjoyment of all. It was also meant to be protected in perpetuity. The Ford government has previously promised that this will not be touched.

I strongly disagree and am against Ford’s proposal to open it for development. This will further increase city sprawl which negatively impacts other aspects of our lives including pollution caused by city sprawl (more reliance on vehicles) and the destroying of natural habitats for wildlife. This does not help our fight against climate change. There are other ways to build more housing. There is also no guarantee that this will help with housing affordability.

It is disgusting that developers will benefit from this and it appears that the Ford government may have been negotiating this with certain developers before the announcement became public.

Please do not go forward with the proposal.
