No. Farmland is needed to feed communities. And, it will do nothing to alleviate the housing crisis. New homes will be far too expensive for those in need. It will also raise our municipal taxes to pay for services and, therefore act as a subsidy to already rich investors. Read more

In a time of significant climate crises, we cannot afford to remove protections on the Greenbelt. There is enough space in current urban areas for further housing. And specifically, we need affordable housing. Read more

The Greenbelt should not be changed except to add to it. Over the last 200 years we have irrevocably altered the ecosystems around us. We cannot get them back so we must protect what we have left. That’s what the Greenbelt was created for. Read more

The government should NOT be building on the green built in what is clearly a profiteering move. We don’t houses. We need homes. AFFORDABLE HOMES. Homes that support families of varying shapes and sizes AND income levels. Read more

This is a money grab for rich developers. This takes powers away from Conservation Authorities so they won’t be able to protect watersheds. We need natural solutions to give us more resiliency as we deal with the increasing impacts of climate change. Read more

This is so transparently about making Ford’s campaign donors rich it’s almost funny. We need farmland and we need AFFORDABLE housing - not more suburbia and sprawl. Make Ontario a democracy again and listen to the people. Read more

I'm not in favour of the proposal to remove approximately 7400 aces from the Greenbelt lands. This move would imply that any lands designated as having Greenbelt protection are essentially available for being swapped out when other lands are offered to be swapped in. Read more
