Erosion of the Greenbelt for the sole purpose of lining the pockets of developers, is not only irresponsible, it is putting the future of our children's lives at risk. Our food production, housing costs, and ability to counteract image change.

I am outraged over the Ford government's proposal to sell off portions of the Greenbelt. I am extremely angry that protected lands can be deemed unprotected just because a government sees an opportunity to make money. Opening the Greenbelt is the worst idea to solve pur housing crisis.

Please, please, please, for the sake of our lungs and brains, do not go back on your campaign promise Mr. Ford. You swore to never touch the green belt. Let’s keep it that way. Ontario soil is too valuable to be dug up and replaced with asphalt. It’s irresponsible and stupid.

Please don't do this. The area is so important to wetlands, animals, and the environmental sustainability of Ontario's future. We are risking our future so a few developers can make a lot of money and it is not right.

Leave every inch of the greenbelt alone. It is crucial for our future, both for biodiversity and water protection. Development will only benefit developers.

Wiping out prime agricultural and wetland is bad enough. The fact that said land was recently bought by prominent backers of Doug Ford's conservatives before the announcement smells of corruption at the highest level and it should be looked into by the Police.
