I support this proposal to restore the land removed from the Greenbelt. Ontario's greenbelt is an important biosphere which enhances all human and more-than-human life not just within the greenbelt area but all of Ontario and beyond. Read more

As I look at all of this, it appears to be a taking of rights from private property owners. Reference to SCC Lynch and Annapolis spell it out clearly. It is a defacto expropriation of private property. Read more

As th Greenbelt is an encroachment on the the uses to which land is put, and therefore reduces the value of the land, it is an effective "taking" by government. Such actions have been deemed in court trials to have a costly effect, which the taker must compensate. Read more

The Greenbelt was introduced by then Premier Dalton McGuinty. Illegally in my opinion! Those who were affected were not given a choice. Nor were they compensated. It is an illegal taking of land. I believe Premier Ford is aware of the history because he called the Greenbelt a 'scam'. Read more

The Greenbelt designation was ONLY placed on private property. It must be lifted as this is illegal due to the fact that no permission was given nor any compensation. This is excessive government action on private property also a constructive taking of private property. Read more

In a time of evident climate change, it is more important than ever to protect whatever is left of our natural environment. The further distraction of that natural habitat will only speed up the climate disaster. Let's protect the Greenbelt and add as much to it as possible.

I am in complete agreement with returning all lands to the green belt. The green belt should never be shrunk but if anything should be expanded. We need more rental units, not monster homes, and theses rental units should be built within existing urban boundaries through intensification. Read more

It has been more than obvious that the Ford Government and Ford himself, have used his office to create more wealth for himself and his friends. This includes taking greenbelt land and selling it to those who have the money and power to flip it for even more profit . Read more

Nothing more to say other than we must preserve and restore our natural spaces. Our finite resources are not worth losing over infinite/human concept money. If you disagree, you are mentally unfit to be in government.

Re: ERO 019-7739 Thank you for returning the lands back to the greenbelt. You are making Ontario residents aware that housing programs are being run by developers who clearly turn a blind eye to the global environmental crisis. I’m worried you’ll continue to kowtow to their demands. Read more
