It amazes me how some people including politicians who are supposed to act in a balanced way that is good for the people of this country can discount the importance of the environment. People like Doug Ford, who see business as the making of profits in the here and now, don't assign a value to maintaining a healthy, viable and sustainable environment for the future. Allowing local municipalities to disregard environmental legislation that took years of consulting to put in place and putting the Greenbelt (home to 5,500 farms, 78 species at risk and 102 million tonnes of carbon storage) at risk is just plain wrong. This isn't "Ontario open for business", it's "The great Ontario Sell Off at bargain basement prices". Secondly, I fear that the way this is being done will lead to corruption at the Municipal levels when developers anxious to get on to their projects meet up with local councilors in back room deals over choice lands. There is only one person who can be blamed for the ecological, environmental and political damage. When the farmland is all gone will the conservative government teach us how to eat concrete?
