I deeply oppose Bill 23 and demand that it be rescinded immediately. The Greenbelt was very carefully and specifically established to protect our watershed, water quality, natural heritage, quality of life, and especially farmland that we need to ensure local food supply for the future. Once it’s paved over, we can never get it back. The idea of trading it for other parcels of land is ludicrous and flies in the face of all ecological science. Hamilton has overwhelmingly indicated by plebiscite that we want to build up and not sprawl Ford lied about his election promises to not touch the Greenbelt that flies in the face of all democratic principles. We already have well-founded solutions to the housing crisis that do not involve bill 23 proposed mega houses that will do nothing to help the shortage, but lined the pockets of Fords development buddies that has been made very clear through their purchase of land prior to the public announcement to bill, 23 and must be investigated for essentially insider trading.
