There is limited farm land…

There is limited farm land in this province and country. The idea of putting homes on farm land is idiocy. Ontario needs more housing. That is a fact, but we will always, always, require food to support our population. Once farm land is gone it cannot return. So by building homes in the proposed areas we remove the ability to feed the families that would live there. Simply put, we require all of the farm land in Ontario to feed our growing population. Let's cherish and protect the furtile land that we are blessed with.

Our province is big - there are lots of potential places to build more housing. I would encourage the province to look north, where the Canadian Shield prevents farming. Perhaps encourage housing in Sudbury and support that local economy.

I must say, I could never support a government that destroyed our farm lands. That idea's short sightedness is embarassingly stupid.
