I strongly disagree with this proposal and feel that the experts have been ignored and that it will lead to multiple problems down the road. I do not know much so I don't have any suggestions other than LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAJORITY OF EXPERTS ARE SAYING

I am very sad to see the proposal being made by my Ontario government. The greenbelt has been a protected area that has benefited Ontariens and Ontario’s ecosystems since 2004. This course of action would reverse work ontariens fought hard for already. Read more

The last thing the environment needs is this highway/building along the Greenbelt. There are empty commercial spaces in Toronto that aren’t even being used. Why should there be more to manage when it’s clear the Ford’s government can’t even handle what we already have. Read more

Please explain why we need to develop housing on the Greenbelt in Ontario when we have so much spaces space that could easily be repurposed and are much more accessible and require much less effort. We don’t need more mansions, we need more affordable housing.

I am extremely concerned about the new proposal to build on the green belt an area which Ford previously stated he would not touch. This area has been protected for years and is home to a variety of animals and plants. This area should continue to be protected. Read more

If this gets passed, I’ll know for sure that this government does not care about the people. Instead of fixing a problem, you’ll be creating a million new ones. Let start small and not make this world even more destined to fail. Give the next generation a fair chance! Read more

Please do not remove any protected land - the green belt is an important resource for Ontario and it’s destruction or reduction would cause economic issues for Ontario. I high recommend repurposing current land/buildings to compensate for the lack of housing. Read more

This is a terrible idea. The majority of Ontario does not want to build on the greenbelt. Those are Doug Ford’s own words. We do not need mansions being built on protected land that only the rich will be able to afford. We need affordable housing in existing cities (i.e. Read more

Perhaps, rather than destroying the current Greenbelt ecosystems with McMansions and the resulting roadway and commercial infrastructure, the government could look at repurposing and rezoning preexisting unused commercial properties and land in this Golden Horseshoe region to build high-density, low Read more

We do not need a bunch of mansions on the greenbelt! We need affordable housing. Toronto and most cities have empty buildings that can be transformed into affordable housing. This is where our tax dollars need to be spent, along with healthcare and education. Stop hoarding money! Read more

We don’t need a bunch of mansions on the green belt! in the GTA there are hundreds of unoccupied commercial properties that should be repurposed into low income housing - in city centres where people need to be to access work and resources. Read more

I don’t want any part of this development. :30 drive time improvement for $10 billion dollars. There is also the impact on the environment. You Mr. Ford promised, because you listen to the people, NOT to open up the green belt for development. Read more
