It’s unfortunate that in the veil of needed “emergency building”, with the highest level of immigration and with government spending causing inflation and increased costs, requires us to accept the rezoning of important Greenland. Read more

In my opinion this is an appalling idea. We should be making all efforts to protect this piece of land, the wilderness that inhabits it and the natural beauty and health is possesses. This is not just a piece of land, it is a sanctuary for our wildlife and old growth and needs to be preserved. Read more

I am an Ontario resident. This is a lazy solution that destroys wildlife and their habitat. We don't need to be making poor decisions like this that affect the environment in a negative way. How about tabling legislation that limits people to owning no more than 3 homes in Ontario? Read more

The greenbelt was designated as protected land for a reason. This is a transparently lazy, shortsighted, and cheap solution to the housing crisis that doesn’t address the issue of affordability in urban centres and further forces people in poverty to rely on personal cars. Read more

Hands off the greenbelt! Municipalities have stated that they do NOT need more land zoned for development. Suburban sprawl is not the answer to housing needs given the lack of infrastructure in addition to the environmentally sensitive areas being proposed for building. Read more

This proposal for development is a bad idea. The greenbelt provides 9 billion dollars a year of economic benefits. The watershed will be affected. Needed farmland will be affected. Food security is a growing conern. The development is a conflict of interest for Doug Ford.

This proposal is a mistake. Once gone, the green belt will be greatly missed. I understand people want to live in the area but A. There are still development areas inside already built-up locations B. Not everyone gets to live where they want Read more

In 2018 Ford made an election promise not to open up the greenbelt for development. Extremely disappointed to see them backtrack on this promise. This would set a dangerous precedent. Developing on the greenbelt is not necessary to solve the housing crisis. Read more

In 2022 have we not grasped that we need innovative housing developments and not the archaic format we keep falling back on? If we keep taking away green space, our cities will suffer from flash flood, our farmlands will dry up from drought, and so on and so on. Read more

The green belt area and its surrounding areas are not in parts of Ontario where there are as many housing issues. The areas around the moraine are already middle to high income areas where the families have a luxury of travel to and from places such as their places of work. Read more
