We must protect the green…

We must protect the green belt from housing development. We need these lands to help mitigate against climate catastrophe and species extinction. More urban sprawl will only contribute to these, while doing little if anything to address the current housing crisis. People need homes not houses and the biggest need is for people in lower income brackets, not people who can afford to buy a new house. Rent controls, building more subsidized housing and affordable rental units are what’s needed.
I find it unconscionable that this government continues to put private profits above the collective good of all Ontarians. This is a CLIMATE EMERGENCY. Business as usual has gotten us into this mess. We have to do better!
