The Greenbelt should not be fouled by capitalist greed. There are many other areas of development and opportunities for housing complexes. Ontario should be ashamed if we lose such an important ecological feature.
Just like in 2018, Doug Ford should be listening to the people, and governing through their voice. We do not want the Greenbelt built on.
Reverse course.
Stop fighting the public will.
And while you're at it, repeal 124, and pay CUPE.
L5V resident here. Completely disagree with this plan. Instead of putting money into the pockets of Doug’s developer friends. Can we give frontline workers sick days?
I am a young adult (late 20s) looking to buy his first house in the GTA. I disagree with and disapprove of removing or "substituting" any lands from the greenbelt. It sets a bad precedent to remove land we should be protecting for any reason.

I strongly oppose these changes. Redesignating Greenbelt areas will cause irreparable harm. There is enough space in the existing areas for growth. We need greater density not urban sprawl. Keep the Greenbelt (as it is currently designated) green.
As someone who lives in a low-income neighborhood, there is no evidence that Bill 23 will result in affordable housing. In reality it will get rid of existing affordable housing and make new communities less safe.

This proposal is an absolute sham and borderline criminal. It is particularly insulting as it stands to enrich developpers with NO GUARANTEE of benefits to the public. PUBLIC LAND SHOULD SERVE THE PUBLIC. If it is to be developped, it should be guaranteed community housing / afforbable housing.

So against this. Doug Ford is corrupt. The new owners of the land bought it just ahead of the rules changing. How? Inside influence.
Shame on you for broken promises and selling off any hope of our part of the province being preserved.
This areas that is being removed are parks and places were the community goes for there mental health, the one beside Newmarket my school took me to every year growing up. These lands are what make up Canada and the species that live in it we need to protects those.

It is shameful that the Ford government has decided to pursue this project by developing on greenbelt protected land. Due diligence studies suggested the development on this land to accommodate highway that only saves a driver 5 mins travel time.

HANDS OFF THE GREENBELT! WE DON'T NEED YOUR PORK BARREL DEVOPER BUDDIES BUILDING MORE CRAP SINGLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS. WE NEED AFFORDABLE URBAN HOUSING SO WORKING PEOPLE CAN LIVE WHERE THEY WORK!
The fact that the owners of the lands in the green belt changed hands to developers shortly before Ford's government put forth motions to allow development on said lands is clear evidence for an investigation into corruption of said government.

It would be nice if short term minded politicians would stop selling important and/or natural assets of our province/country off in order to line their dirty pockets with cash so that they can gloat over "lowering" the debt ceiling while sitting their short length in office, get pats on the back fro

Keep the greenbelt intact and launch a criminal investigation into developers who bought land weeks before the announcement to open it up for development.
