the point of the greenbelt is that it is a space that is *permanently* safe from development. this plan completely undermines that principle. While the area you plan to add is lovely - great idea- add it- you have to keep the existing area closed to development. Read more

Removing land in the greenbelt is an awful idea. Sprawl brings nothing but higher congestion and dislocated communities. Focus on density within the areas we currently have! There's a reason European cities are much more efficient and desirable. Read more

Build up, not out. Part of my job within the utility sector I talk to new comers to Canada everyday and they’re buying income properties, many of them multiple. How can a new comer to Canada afford a home for themselves and an income property? Read more

Please don’t change the greenbelt that Ottawa has. We need this space to keep pollution, houses away from downtown and other areas. This green area is essential to our environment. Making this change goes against everting I believe in. If this happens, I’m never voting conservative again.

I strongly object to this proposal. Adding more land to the greenbelt is a good idea, but let's not make it contingent on removing other protected land. We can (and should) have both. As global temperatures rise, what we don't need is a giant concrete heat sink. Read more

Regarding the urban boundary expansion, Hamilton's recent Mayoral election was just held with this as a key issue. The highest performing candidates were those who opposed urban expansion, which, while not a referendum, is at least reflective of how polls show our population feels. Read more
