Doug Ford (and the Conservative Party) is acting in a dictatorial manner that is harmful to the population of Ontario and Canada. There is absolutely no need to build on the Green Belt in order to increase the number of new homes for Ontario residents. The need to provide more housing for people does not necessitate building in the Green Belt. Every city in Ontario has under-utilized areas, empty lots, double lots, lane ways, strip malls that can be intensified without having to build new infrastructure. That should be the first step. The Conservative Party’s actions are un democratic (lying about not touching the Green Belt and then not even looking at more practical and straightforward ways of facilitating intensification of cities) . But more importantly, the Conservative Party is harming future generations. We should all remember how early in the pandemic Canada had to go beg and borrow and plead to get access to the Covid vaccines. Why? Because Canada does not have the ability to make their own. What will happen with climate change if for some reason California cannot produce the surplus food that it does now that gets imported into Canada. Do you think if United States falls short of feeding their own population that they will send food to Canada? What will happen 50 years from now when we can no longer import food, and we have paved over all of our farmland. Who will feed us? What the Conservative Party is doing is betraying the population of Ontario.
