Bill 23 must be stopped…

Bill 23 must be stopped immediately. In Ontario we can not legislate common sense or Bill 23 would have never been proposed. Apart from all of the environmental reasons, and there are so many, building in the Greenbelt just doesn't make sense. We need to conserve this farmland. Ok, land specultors purchased it, but that doesn't mean we change the zoning from Agriculture to something else. We need our food close to market as food costs are escalating. Ontarios are relying more and more on locally grown food and this will be the case into the future.
Bill 23 is undemocratic and I'm appalled that the PC members at Queen's Park are supporting it. The Premier has single handedly put at risk this government's credibility with the public. All of this announced on a Friday afternoon, with the Unions all stirred up and new Municipal Councils not sworn in yet.
Step back , rethink this one and let's get on with some real solutions to the housing problem ie, intensifying urban living, building up the middle sized housing units in walkable, bikeable communities.
