This proposal is appalling…

This proposal is appalling. It is a betrayal, not only of Ontarians and the environment we cherish, but of your own pledge. The duplicity is both shameful and destructive.

Furthermore, I reject that our housing shortage—an issue that indeed requires addressing—is truly your motivation, except in the sense that you will support developers first and the people, the land, and their well-being second (if at all). Frankly, it smells like corruption.

Housing must go elsewhere and must not impact farmland, wetlands, or other environmentally sensitive areas. We must find ways to expand the protected areas without removing any lands from them.

I absolutely oppose any diminishing of the Greenbelt.
