The greenbelt should not be infringed upon for any reason. It is vital to our collective futures for it to be preserved. If anything land should be added without any being removed.

I am not in agreement of this proposal. We don’t need more mansions on the green belt or a proposed highway. We need to look at the buildings downtown sitting empty that we can repurpose for affordable housing.
The destruction of any part of the Greenbelt area is an extremely poor decision on behalf of the Ontario Government. Destroying biodiversity and agriculture is NOT a costly or logical way to solve the housing crisis.

I firmly do not believe that the Greenbelt should be removed for housing. I am sure there are other areas more suited for developing than the removal of viable farmland and natural resources. This area is to be protected and was promised to be protected. Leave it alone.
Please do not rezone the greenbelt. We rely on it for flood protection, and 78 at risk animals rely on it for shelter and protection. Climate change is an urgent issue, ans the greenbelt is vital to us.
I urge the Premier to:
-withdraw the plan to remove lands from the Greenbelt;
-get on with a meaningful Greenbelt expansion that reflects public input - repeatedly promised but never delivered by the Ford government;

I do not agree with opening the greenbelt. We need that area for wildlife. Doug Ford promised not to touch it. Try using empty office buildings for high density, low income housing.
It would be an environmental travesty to open the greenbelt.
I am writing to express my opposition to Bill 23. Below is a list of specific concerns, but I would also like to share my personal feelings on the matter; Ontario wetlands and the Greenbelt itself are hugely important to me, my friends, and my family.

I'm extremely against this proposal. The Greenbelt should NOT be destroyed in order to expand for more housing. Other avenues (such as reformation of misused land, more affordable housing) need to be explored.

Absolutely do NOT support this initiative. Do the 20 degree days in November not prove to you how much global warming is we are experiencing. We NEED this mature green space.
Doug Ford is a liar.
He lies about everything.
He doesn't care about Ontario or it's people.
He only cares about making money for himself and his friends.

It is unnecessary to build this many homes unless of course, they are going to be affordable housing. The government would better serve the public by creating a program to support the development of affordable housing in all Ontario communities.

This proposal to use Greenbelt land for housing is completely wrong. It only benefits developers.
It will destroy the Greenbelt, because it will encourage developers to buy more Greenbelt land and pressure or lobby future governments to again remove more land from the Greenbelt.

We are literally in the middle of a climate emergency. Full stop.
You cannot simply reallocate green space elsewhere to make up for taking this away, it's not how it works. On top of that, this government promised to leave the greenbelt untouched (video still up on Twitter).

This goes against the best interests of every Ontarian. Absolutely criminal. This needs to be stopped. Doug Ford and his dwveloomwnt donors should not be allowed to do this.
