This is an arbitrary…

This is an arbitrary conversation starter, since the public and conservation authorities didn't get a say as to whether the merger was even a good idea. Having people focus on the boundaries of the merged conservation authorities is a distraction from the actual issue, which is that the merging of CAs is going to make processes more complicated, more expensive, and take away the say that municipalities have about how their money gets used.

This merger is simply another way to line the pockets of developers while they use protected lands to build excessively expensive houses that don't fix the housing crisis. This is a new angle of the same stunt that was pulled to open the Greenbelt to housing developers. Creating new levels of bureaucracy will slow down permitting and make it more expensive for the municipalities who are footing the bill, and if organization was actually the priority then that could be achieved without creating a whole new system which will take years to get running smoothly.
