These MZOs would force extreme and reckless density on Midtown, more than double that of any comparable development in the GTA, without the infrastructure to support it; creating chaos and overwhelming transportation and services that are already overstressed, including local roads, transit, the GO Read more

The Ontario government appears to not just be tone deaf on this issue, but completely deaf. The opposition to this initiative in Oakville is large and growing. It simply makes no sense, and the rationale provided is paltry. Read more

I am against the proposed Transit-Oriented Community (TOC) as it fails to comply with Premier Ford’s Build Homes Faster agenda and will not deliver a single home before 2031, the Province’s own housing deadline. It will, in fact, take 25 years to complete. Read more
