We should all be concerned about the direction this province is going. With respect to the Greenbelt specifically, the conversation shifts from an environmental perspective, to one about ethics and corruption. Our government has become inequitable. Read more

The Green Belt is sacrosanct. It is so important for our future generations to leave this land as is. I was born and raised in Toronto. It has been disheartening at times to see how my city and surrounding areas have changed. I remember when there was mostly farm land north of hwy 7. Read more
