Infinite growth is impossible and unsustainable. This is not about creating a future and there's no altruism here. This is greed. An insatiable pursuit for more. Read more

Serious terrible work... Continued Urban Sprawl growth is a Ponzi Scheme. The only way to pay for all this is with more harmful Urban Sprawl and real Urban Areas Subsidizing the Suburbs. It is an economic and environmental disaster. Just to make a bunch of rich developer richer. Read more

I feel that new housing developments or land use wrt housing should not go into rural settlement areas or agricultural areas. We need to protect our dwindling and important farmlands and significant wetlands and greenspace. Read more

The proposed policy disincentives developers from building in densely populated urban areas - yet, cities are more efficient for mobility, use less resources and will host more resilient infrastructure to support the growing Canada population and impacts of climate change. Read more

These proposed policies miss the mark completely on a prosperous and healthy Ontario. Every effort should be made to freeze urban boundaries and create increased density housing, commercial and industrial spaces. Read more

The proposal is very concerning and harmful in several ways. - There is no real need for new lands for building, which has already been amply proven. Read more

Key to land-use development anywhere in the world is the fact that our natural heritage and farmland are what support our lives, health and economies. All else is built on this. Read more

I am in support of the proposed changes that would permit residential lot creation / severances in Rural Areas. Existing rural roads can be lined with rural residential lots while maintaining the majority of the farmland behind. Let Ontario residents live in the countryside!

I oppose the government’s new policies regarding heritage preservation. We are losing our heritage so much we value as a consequence! Please review and revise!

This government has demonstrated that by recklessly making off-the-cuff decisions, that it actually plans really poorly. As a good example, we can look to the plan to demolish the Ontario Science Centre for housing. Read more
