Saving the Greenbelt protects so many aspects of the future of Ontario. Clean fresh water and healthy air, in very trying times for both, should be enough to squash this terrible idea. Use land the government already controls that lies stagnant to create space. Read more

Ontario's greenbelt is essential to its ecosystem - our planet is on the brink of environmental collapse, is Ford seriously considering adding more development to this devastation? Why not redevelop every half-occupied Smart Centre allowed to pollute our province instead?

Doug Ford promised not to touch the greenbelt but he lied. Areas that are unusable for housing will be added to the greenbelt in exchange for our precious forests and fertile lands. This government is for profit only and does not care about the environment or people. Read more

The green belt is an incredibly important part of Ontario that should not be developped ever, let alone in this irresponsible manner. Urban densification projects need to be the priority rather than creating more suburbs in cities that make it harder for public transportation to be utilized. Read more

This is not the way. We need more housing, but not at the expense of nature. One of the things that makes Ontario a great place to live is the green space in and around our great cities. Might as well live down in America where they put commerce first and nature last. Read more

I'm a Biology graduate from McMaster university so my stance in extremely clear. Do Not cut into the Greenbelt for housing. Taking from the Greenbelt is the cheap and dirty solution to creating more homes. If there really is a need for more space we need to build up and down not horizontally. Read more

The Greenbelt is protected land, and even the Whitebelt is completely irresponsible to develop during a climate crisis. We cannot afford to lose prime topsoil, precious wetlands, and agricultural land when we have so much room for mid-density development within the existing urban boundary. Read more

This is much-desired news. However, the type of development in these areas is also important. Maintaining a higher ratio of Condominuim-type dwellings which are more affordable will allow us to maximize the land that we take away from Greenbelt. Read more
