These green belt proposals are only going to benefit rich neighbourhoods that border these green belt areas already.This isn’t going benefit anyone in low income housing which is desperately needed. I don’t see any benefit to destroying protected and fertile land just for easy development.

You said last year (before the election) that you would not do any land swaps on the green belt. You don’t have a mandate for this. The housing crisis we are in was here last year just as it was last year. For god’s sake, your own task force called for more density and not more sprawl. Read more

We’ve protected this land for so long and should keep it that way. It is up to us to work at keeping our environment and protected areas safe. I understand there is a a housing crisis but using land that was never meant to be developed seems short sighted in the greater scheme of things. Read more

The proposed "More Homes Built Faster Act" includes only tepid measures to enable more badly needed home construction in existing cities while diving deep into dangerous attacks on wetland habitat, woodlands and other conservation lands and encouraging even more of the expensive rural sprawl that ca Read more
