The Greenbelt is a vital…

The Greenbelt is a vital part of this province; one that provides much needed green space, watershed, hinterlands and outdoor activity space. Repealing any protection for the sake of development is shortsighted and leaves us all unprotected.

Overdevelopment is what lead to the flooding of the lower Don river in previous years. And to Lower Simcoe St underpass further back. We only need to remember the abandoned Ferrari in that incident. Regardless of the make of car, that image alone should be sufficient even if it was a 20year old Toyota. The danger is real, regardless of any given Ontarien’s financial position.

Our infrastructure, both natural and man-made, simply can not withstand events of that scope. To introduce such possibilities to a great swath of the GTA is unconscionable.
