This is such an obviously bad idea, and a reversal of a campaign promise, that the Ford government should be ashamed of themselves. But I don't think they're capable of feeling shame.
Please DO NOT destroy what little greenspace we have left, and just leave the Greenbelt alone.
The Ford government already knows this project is a terrible idea for a variety of reasons.

Doug Ford's government promised not to encroach on the Greenbelt. This reversal is terrible stewardship of our most precious resource; arable land. We must not leave nothing but concrete for our children.

I am extremely concerned about the direction this government is going with relation to development within the green belt. I agree that housing is a problem in Ontario but we should not be expanding through the green belt.

I believe that any reduction or reclassification of any part of the greenbelt for more suburban development severely compromises the integrity and intention of the greenbelt and would break longstanding commitments held by the current and previous goverments.

Cutting into the environment is a horrible, short sighted way to combat the housing crisis. Putting a limit to AirBNB and tenancy will open up more homes for the public to actually live in, and won't impact our future genrations.
We don't need to dig into the green belt to fix the housing crisis. We need caps on how many homes 1 person can own, and completely ban companies from owning SFH.

The Greenbelt needs to be kept 100% intact for farming, clean water, and recreation. Once we lose it it is gone forever. You are using the housing price crisis as a cover to make developers rich. Try to think long term for once.
Please PLEASE don’t waste our precious farmland in favour of enriching Ford’s cronies. The Greenbelt hosts important areas of food production that are crucial in continuing Ontario’s food security and provides clean air to the residents of the GTA.

The green belt is an important ecological, geological and sociological important area of Ontario. Theses areas are important to our food production, to prevent flooding and provides recreation to thousands of people.
Leave the green belt alone.

This proposal is irresponsible and will not address the real needs of Ontarians. This land needs to be protected, and we need to build where there is already infrastructure instead of expanding sprawl and reliance on cars.

I cannot stress how strongly opposed to this proposal I am. The provincial government promised to keep the Greenbelt untouched. We trusted this government to do so. Simply adding more acreage of protected lands will not undo the harm done to the Green Belt.

Please preserve greenbelt. New housing should be built in already damaged areas, prioritazing the construction of condos, buildings, rather than townhouses that occupy much more space.
It is ridiculous that cities in Ontario are mainly houses, instead of high buildings.

No. Please no. This is our source of fresh water. Our source of nature. Please do not cut corners and sacrifice our green belt for housing. No one in Ontario wants this. Your people will rally against this proposal. Do not go back on your promise to not touch the greenbelt.
