I oppose the plan to take thousands of acres out of the Greenbelt. It is a terrible idea to destroy wetlands, add to sprawl, and take irreplaceable farmland. Yes, Bill 23 has passed, but many Ontarians such as myself will fight this government’s irresponsible and greedy laws.

This bill will not help address Ontario’s housing shortage.
Many communities already have plans in place. The government would do better to work with them rather than taking away revenue and causing property taxes to be raised.
We should preserving or farmland and natural areas.

This will be the most damaging bill of Doug Ford’s legacy. And that’s saying a lot - the green belt is not for development. Every expert in the field of housing, is against this bill and can easily show how it is not needed for housing.

This is a greedy idea that is not in the best interests for the people of Ontario and Canada.
Bill 23 and all the associated policies remove and weaken environmental protections and reduce the role that Ontarians have in land use planning and decision-making.

The problem is not that we need more homes. The problem is that rent and housing prices in the region are astronomical. There are thousands of units available for the estimated 2 million people that will be moving to the region.

NO! NO! NO!
Leave the Greenbelt alone!
I will never vote for anyone, even, who destroys green areas, killing trees, plants, animals and open air spaces!
Keep your hands off our green belt Doug Ford! You have lied to the people of Ontario, you have shown what kind of man you are! The green belt is not yours to divide up amongst your developer buddies.

The impact on our natural heritage, and the irreversible damage to the environment should not be allowed to take place.
The very small perceived gain that the changes to the housing inventory are dwarfed by the long term harm to our quality of life due to environmental degradation.

I am writing to express my opposition to this legislation.
It directly contradicts the promise made by the premier in 2018. This erodes public trust in elected officials and government.

The proposal to remove land from the greenbelt is a very bad idea for many reasons.
The most obvious is that the whole idea of the greanbelt is threatened when you pull land out after a developer buys land that is supposedly protected in perpetuity.The developer makes windfall profits and the

This is a poor decision that is NOT supported by the people living in these areas. Farm lands are needed so we remain as self sufficient as possible - more self sufficient than we were in the pandemic in fact.
