If passed, the proposed Building Highways Faster Act, 2024 would define Highway 413, Bradford Bypass and Garden City Skyway as priority highway projects.
It has been scientifically proven that there is nothing about these projects that will benefit the Ontario people as a whole. It will pollute and endanger the environment, it will not move people as fast as proper efficient transit, it will destroy parts of saved and protected natural spaces, and it will promote housing and industrial sprawl which has been proven to be better placed as part of existing city densification. Worst of all, these projects promote food insecurity, and the horrible effects of climate change.
Ontarians should not be duped into thinking they need these destructive projects especially in light of them in no way helping with the climate crisis, in fact they would help accelerate the horrific effects of climate change, and turn around towards sustainable practices and saving our natural spaces and farmlands for the future Ontarians to thrive.
We are more than concerned, angry, and frankly shocked that this government would put unnecessary projects ahead of the good of the health and future welfare of Ontarians.
PLEASE STOP THIS BILL, STOP THE HIGHWAYS, and STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR NATURAL LANDS.
