Housing plans should focus on densifying existing urban areas and not encroaching on already dwindling farmland. This just puts Canada's food supply at risk which will be amplified by the growing population. Urban sprawl isn't wanted by anyone and creates far more problems than it solves.

The extra housing on farms worries me, but no matter what we say, the government will do what they want. "The Greenbelt is safe." Uh huh, right Mr. Ford.
While I agree farmers shouldn’t be able to sever lots to sell of to developers, I do not agree that they’re not able to sever so that family can build on the land. You boast about allowing farmers to build a secondary dwelling, which essentially means nothing if the land cannot be severed.

A new Provincial Planning Statement that would jeopardize decades of progress on land use policy. The Government is not taking into consideration the protection of wetlands, marshes, fens and bogs which are homes to many Traditional medicines for Indigenous people.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to proposed changes to the Provincial Policy Statement, 2022 (PPS) and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan). These changes would accelerate urban sprawl and the ongoing loss of farmland and natural areas in Ontario.

This relentless push to build harmful sprawl must stop! We need a mix of affordable housing types within settlement areas, not expensive sprawl onto precios prime 1, 2, 3 farmland.

I am a citizen concerned about the loss of farmland and the damage to our climate caused by my province’s poor judgment regarding land use.
Municipal governments are the proper elected officials to guide planning decisions that are best for the communities affected.

I am a farm owner in Simcoe County. I have 2 children. Neither has reasonable prospects for home ownership near our farm, given the massive recent cost of living increases. They occupy rental appartments. I have ample property that would be suitable for severance that could be used to house them.
