Protecting the Green Belt is…

Protecting the Green Belt is very important to the future of all Canadians. Once valuable farmland has been developed, that land is lost forever. Our population is only increasing. Governments have the responsibility to make sure that we can feed future populations.

The same applies to forested areas and other ecosystems. We are now destroying species, contaminating water supplies, adversely affecting human health, etc.

This is all in the name of economic greed. This is completely unethical and very appalling. The effects are vast and once this protected land is gone, there is no turning back. Developing parts of the greenbelt will only economically benefit a very small portion of our population. Whereas it will adversely affect many more, and continue to adversely affect all future generations.

Where is the common sense? Where is the integrity? The government is supposed to be leaders--where is the leadership?
