Opening up the green belt to…

Opening up the green belt to development is a mistake. That area is protected for a reason and once it is irreversibly changed we can’t take it back. It’s home to some of the best farmland Canada has to offer and home for essential wildlife. We have been losing precious space for those who can’t speak up for themselves like the animal population which is crucial to human survival. We have plenty of cities and the ability to change their density. Look to Newmarket, Bradford, Barrie and how those areas could sustain growth to help. There’s also so much single family housing in Toronto that if we could change zoning would allow us to protect the green belt and find room for our growing population.

Please don’t make a mistake that we can’t reverse. It would harm this province for future generations and ensure that developers make their profits instead.
