Doug Ford specifically said he would not "touch the Greenbelt" in 2018. Many people would have changed their vote if they had know this would be the outcome. This is not democracy.

Please stop this by developing n this land.
Our environment needs protection and the wildlife. There are other solutions to develop housing . Or does not mean developing Mathis area . Mr. Ford you kept a promise not to develop on this land . Still to your promise to the people of Ontario.
Premier Ford, you promised not to open the Green Belt to development. Keep your promise - you are premier for all Ontario, not merely for developers. You don't need to break this promise in order to get housing built, and you know it.

The government's excuse for removing 7,600 acres from the Greenbelt is disingenuous. There are 86,50 acres of land already designated for development within the Golden Horseshoe area alone. We need more density in existing urban areas, not more sprawl.

Keep off our greenbelt! These are protected lands. I oppose this governments corrupt actions in selling this land to land developers who will make millions of dollars off of these backroom deals. Our environment and future generations depend on preserving the greenbelt.
Ford promised with conviction that the Greenbelt would not be touched. While the Greenbelt can be expanded, there is no strong argument that the land should be used for housing development.

I do not agree with the admentments that would allow developers to build on the greenbelt. I believe that if this area is developed with housing it would be negative to the environment and ecosystem there.

This is outrageous.
We clearly voted NO to these changes.
No to taking away ANY more farmland.
No to more housing built on the Greenbelt or on Conservation land.

The green belt is an important part of Ontario. It must be protected. We need to protect our forests and agricultural lands for future generations. They must not be sold to your developer buddies. The solution to our housing issue is not more McMansions for the profits of the 1%.

We suggest to remove the greenbelt portion of the land at 5172 Major Mackenzie Drive East for the following reasons:
1. The greenbelt portion at our land is a narrow strip ending at the main road Major Mac. Dr.

I wish to register my complete rejection of the Bill that allows the Government to open the Greenbelt for housing construction. Ford promised not to do this and he is now breaking that promise and using the need for housing as the reason.

This bill will not provide desperately needed affordable housing and it will destroy essential wetlands. In any case the government already had enough housing in place before it gaslit the public on Bill 23. The government is not dealing honestly with the people of this province.

Building in the greenbelt is both short sighted and unnecessary. They are many areas of marginalized land that could be used for home building rather than the green belt. Too many questions are left about who exactly is benefiting from the use of this land.

Protect our green belt and uphold the promise you made to Ontario. Being a man of your word is important - the green belt matters, stop acting like you didn’t plan this move from the start. Do better - we expect more!
Why not reinvest in the downtown core of places like Hamilton and Brantford? Spreading out into farmland is taking over our food and environmental resources we can never get back. If you want your cities to be vital - people need to live in the cities, not on farmland surrounding the cities.

I deeply oppose Bill 23 and demand that it be rescinded immediately. The Greenbelt was very carefully and specifically established to protect our watershed, water quality, natural heritage, quality of life, and especially farmland that we need to ensure local food supply for the future.

Je suis outré que le parti conservateur veut détruire à jamais la précieuse zone de ceinture de verdure Détruire cette zone aura des conséquences à jamais pour nous et les générations à venir . Cette décision est absurde.

Development of the greenbelt is short sighted and dangerous to Ontarios food security.
There is other land available to develop instead of forever ruining protected wetlands and impacting the protected species who habit there.
NO to the changes in the greenbelt. Save the greenbelt!
