I am completely opposed to developing the green belt and Bill 23. Being outwardly lied to by an elected leader is beyond hurtful. Doug Ford made a promise to protect the green belt land (the very little fertile land that Ontario has) and he needs to uphold his word. Read more

Developing into the greenbelt will weaken Ontario and Canada by irreversibly destroying farmland and important natural spaces. As food production becomes increasingly strained in North America due to drought and high water usage, we will want every inch of arable land we have. Read more

The greenbelt serves many purposes; reducing it to develop more car-dependent neighbourhoods is incredibly short-sighted. It provides habitat, farmland to support the population, protection for water sources, recreational opportunities.. the list goes on. Read more

The GTA Greenbelt and the Greenbelt in Ottawa are treasured areas for most Ontarians. If governments and public health officials REALLY care about the physical and mental health of Ontarians, they would expand green space areas instead of reducing them. Read more

HANDS OFF THE GREENBELT. Your own housing advisory council said that LACK OF LAND WASNT THE REASON FOR A LACK OF HOUSING. This is blatantly corrupt to benefit PC donors. Our greenbelt protects our drinking water, countless endangered species, and the quality of our lakes. HANDS. OFF.

Bad idea. Development Charges have been set for municipalities like London. This act will have existing residential homeowners paying for new growth. Growth should pay for growth. That is what Development Charges are supposed to do. So change the Development Charges Act too. Read more

It is ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS that the Ford government is attempting to build on environmentally protected lands under the guise of helping citizens There are thousands of acres of land that isn’t protected- I mean what about all that land he wants to swap for the protected lands- available.

Leave our Greenbelt alone. Shady deal with wealthy donors who supported your campaign DF, won't solve housing shortage for people who really need housing, will increase our municipal taxes thanks to your offloading. Stop privatizing our education, health care and environment! Read more

This proposal is shortsighted and will negatively affect future generations of Ontarians by permitting developers to avoid rules designed to protect the environment on which human life depends. The result will not only be environmental degradation and exacerbated health problems, however. Read more

This is the absolute worst thing you could do to our province! Do not sell out our natural spaces for the profit of a few greedy developers! There are so many other ways to tackle housing that doesn't include decimating our forests, wetlands and habitats for native species. Read more

I am completely opposed to the proposed changes to the Ontario green belt. Doug Ford ran on an election platform of not changing the green belt and he should keep his campaign promises. This bill does not help people and the green belt is a resource that can not be replaced.

Please save our green spaces for our children's future. Too much progress and removal of green spaces impact climate change and effect how our children will experience this planet. Destruction of nature at the expense of progress does not have a good outcome for our future. Read more
