This attack on the greenbelt is a disgusting display of corruption, greed, & evil. A handful of developers stand to profit by hundreds of millions of dollars, and the proposed suburban sprawl wont even put a dent in the housing crisis.

Highways and subdivisions will massively increase our province's car dependence and therefore carbon emissions. We need urban densification and much better public transportation infrastructure.

The greenbelt is key to mitigating the climate crisis in Ontario. Its erosion will also make flooding events drastically worse when we experience worse & worse storms due to climate change.

As the climate crisis worsens and droughts cause current food growing regions to dry up & be unfarmable, the rich soil of the greenbelt will be required to feed Ontario, Canada, & the world.
