I am AGAINST the proposal to allow development on the protected Greenbelt. This development of housing along the greenbelt is not a solution to the housing crisis and with current trends will only be able to serve the small portion of the population who can afford to live there. Read more

I disagree and oppose the announcements made on Friday, Nov. 4, by the Doug Ford government about imminent changes to housing policy as they have massive implications for just about everything to do with land use in Ontario. It is wrong to compel the city of Hamilton to expand its urban boundary. Read more

I do not support the proposal. Do not redesignate or remove any land from the existing Greenbelt. Intensify housing in existing areas by remediating brownfields and building upwards. Invest in public transit systems to improve quality of life in urban and suburban areas. Read more

Perhaps leaving the land the way it is will save ecosystems and environments for future use. How about instead we look more closely at better funding toward public transit, low income housing, education and medical systems. That would be great. Thanks.

Your actions and decisions make it clear that you DO NOT care about the people of Ontario, our environment or our future. You clearly only care about yourself and making your rich developer friends richer even if that means destroying protected lands like the green belt. Read more

I am concerned about the undermining of Ontario's natural assets through these plans. As a lifelong Ontarian, I am incredibly proud to live somewhere with some of the cleanest energy, a large and protected Greenbelt, and a globally progressive conservation authority program. Read more

I disagree with opening up the greenbelt. I was involved in a previous consultation project for transit that showed there was enough space already allocated for building for the next 50 years without encroaching on the green belt. We need to build smarter not continue with urban sprawl. Read more

What is the point of having protected lands if they aren’t protected from a lying (Doug Ford said he wouldn’t develop the greenbelt in 2018 check the videotape) politician. Please do what is right and honour what the creators of the greenbelt protections envisioned.

The development and building over of the greenbelt will take away vital natural space for the GTA. This will have a negative impact on the wellbeing of animals in the region, people who now have to go further to access these relaxing regions, and also on the pricing of houses. Read more

In the middle of a climate crisis, developing protected land that is home to wetlands, trees and wildlife is incredibly irresponsible and selfish. It is abundantly clear that Doug Ford is more interested in satisfying the desires of his developer friends than the needs of Ontarians. Read more
