I do not support Bill 66, because of it's threat to human and ecological health. In the words of my four-year-old daughter, "I want to keep the farmland so that me, the bees and the animals have food to eat. And I want the fish to stay safe by keeping our water healthy." This Bill might possibly have immediate financial gains, but I do not want my four-year-old to have to live with the long-term consequences of threatened drinking water, wetlands, farmland, woodlawnds and habitats (https://ontarionature.org/bill-66-facts/). We have other options for growing our economy and cities. In the City of Hamilton, where I live, for example, we can turn lands that were once used for employment into residential. We also have much room for growth through intensification infrastructure (ie. more high rises). The Ontario Progressive Conservatives did not get elected on this platform. Even my parents, who have been long-time supporters of the Ontario PC party, have said that Bill 66 is wrong and that moving forward with it would cost their vote.
