I believe the Ontario government’s Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act, is an attack on the multicultural and socioeconomic diversity of all communities in Ontario. I am a proud owner of a designated heritage building. Read more

I live in a heritage home. I read through these changes and it looks like regulations are going to be so stringent that century homes and barns are not going to be seen in Ontario for much longer. This is not a problem that has any impact on new home building. Read more

There are so many issues with Bill 23 the entire Bill needs to be reviewed thoroughly with enough time for citizens to properly comment on the sections that matter most to them. I feel strongly that omnibus bills and the speed by which this one was passed are undemocratic. Read more
