Hello
This proposal is dangerously short-sighted, ill-planned and a threat to future generations.
Opening up more land for development won’t speed up the provision of housing. There are already more than enough development proposals working their way through approval processes in municipalities throughout Ontario. Any new land you add will go to the back of the queue and sit there for years.
It’s a crime to designate more of Canada’s very best farmland for development. It becomes more precious every year. Already one of our biggest produce suppliers, California, is suffering catastrophic climate events and cutting back supplies to us. Ontario farmers are nimbly moving to fill the gap.
That farmland will be worth gold as warmer parts of the world become unable to feed us in future years. Do not think of giving it away for sprawl. Intensification within current urban boundaries is by far the better way.
