The Greenbelt is the way it…

The Greenbelt is the way it is in order to protect land for the future…our children. It also protects productive soil which is depleting in our province. Above all, it protects our water and our species, many who are at risk. If we allow this proposal to go through, where will it stop? What’s to stop this government or future ones from using the same excuses to take more and more land from the Greenbelt? This land needs to be protected and those in office need to actually work to come up with innovative solutions to a growing populace. Sprawl is not what people want and this will increase sprawl. If this is truly an answer to immigration, remember that most immigrants cannot afford a mansion in the Golden Horseshoe, the majority will live in apartments. And second, we need to encourage them to settle in other parts of the province. This proposal is a lazy solution to our housing crisis.
