I would like to register my objection to the passing of Bill 23. This is a short sighted “solution” to a complex problem. Please consider the use of “brownfield” properties.

Heritage homes and property are fundamental to Ontario communities. They represent where we have come from and where we are going. The land grab is unnecessary. Protect heritage is protecting Ontario.

Go for it. The current heritage provisions are unreasonable and of only serve the interests of heritage consultants and city regulators who have been captured by the advocates. Generally they result in poor maintenance of unsustainable properties to the detriment of the community at large.
