Hands off the greenbelt! Douglas Ford lied about not developing on the greenbelt in order to get elected in 2018. 4 years later after winning a double majority due to only 43% of eligible voters in Ontario making an effort to vote. His party only got 18% out of that 43. Read more

All throughout the election we heard Fords promise that he would not touch the greenbelt . You cannot just add more greenbelt elsewhere in some sort of biodiversity offsetting scheme . These lands were preserved for a reason and that reason wasn't to make Doug Fords developer donor buddies rich . Read more

Stop whittling away at our greenbelt. This is precious ground and doesn't need any more mcmansions or townhouse atrocities. There will not be affordable housing or affordable rental units built but dwelling that only wealthy or wealthier than average people can afford. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 23. It’s a classic example of short-sighted politics, using the vulnerable - in this case the Greenbelt - as sacrifice for more votes and favour, with no consideration for longer-term consequences.

I am completely opposed to Bill 23 and the proposed changes to the green belt. We need to keep more of Ontario green. Perhaps what the government should consider is greater restriction against foreign investment to keep more homes available and more affordable for our own citizens.

I am local to the Niagara region, I have always taken great pride in our green belt! But taken and changing that is something I strongly disagree with! I don’t thing the government should allow the province to change that! Please don’t allow this amendment to pass. Read more

The sale and development of land from the Green Belt is a short sighted and compromises the future of Ontarians. The Premiere is acting in self interest and not in the public good. The Green Belt has several functions that are unique to it's makeup. Read more

No need to take Green Belt land to build affordable housing. The home built in these subdivisions will not be affordable. New roads/sewers/needed infrastructure will pass costs on to municipal governments who will then raise property taxes. Read more

The government can’t remove land from a protected area just to suit their political agenda. As a farmer I’m aghast. It feels like more and more everyday that the government does not want Ontario farmers to feed Ontario residents with our local produced foods. Read more

I have lost trust in premier Ford's ability to fully consider the well being of the citizens of this province. In particular, when the premier who had promised not to touch the Greenbelt has now decided it can be developed without proper consultation or just cause. Read more

Please do not start using the Greenbelt for your agendas. Your business partners benefit from this while the wildlife and the rural lands suffer. Good soil is stripped and one day you will need this land to grow food. Farms and green areas supply homes for wild life and food for cities. Read more
