I am absolutely disgusted with this government’s distain for our environment. You promised to protect the Greenbelt! It is clear that the word of Doug Ford is worth less than nothing. Shame on you and your entire party for enthusiastically destroying what is left of our environment.

I voted for Doug Ford as a first time voter, but after this legislation I will never again vote for him or the PC party. Stop this nonsense. There's plenty of other areas province wide that can be used to build houses. 50K homes isn't going to settle 1million immigrants. Read more
