Doug Ford’s government is looking at turning over parts of the protected Greenbelt area to developers, after promising repeatedly not to do so.
The Greenbelt is about 2 million acres of protected land, established in 2005, in the Greater Toronto and Niagara areas. It was designed to protect farmland andMr. Clark said that his government wanted to release up to 7,400 acres of the Greenbelt in areas that are close to existing communities and ready to be built on quickly. In return, 9,400 acres of land elsewhere would be added to the Greenbelt.
He said the point of the Greenbelt was not to protect random pieces of land but to safeguard specific places that faced the threat of development. “We need to, in the middle of a housing crisis, act decisively,” he said. “We know the pace of housing hasn’t kept pace with demand and we need to make some tough decisions.”
Where else do you want them to be built? Boost immigration, no housing and more people coming
What Doug has done in just two days…. Doug Ford has: - Made strikes illegal - Forced a 4-year contract on CUPE - Broke promise to protect the Greenbelt - Appointed developer & PC donor Cortelluci (who ran for Italian Senate under a far-right banner) to YPSB.
...well...Liberals created it...so...
Rather than just 'Ontario', could the make reference to the 'Ontario Government' so proper credit can be assigned for these kinds of abominable decisions? After all, only 18% of the voting population supported this current government in the last election.
Another tremendous promise broken! FordFailedThePeople FordMustGo
100% car centric, non existent transit, no amenities nearby so lets build there. I have just been tossed onto the ever expanding floodplain due to rampant upstream overconstruction and paving of golf courses and farms in Oakville.
Here come more McMansions. Provision should be made than none of these houses be larger than 1500 sq.ft.
DavidPiccini your a disgusting disgrace of environment minister. Shame on you. You don’t speak for you constituents at all or for the people of Ontario
What do you expect from a thug who has no respect for land? fordnation is a redneck who knows nothing!
Proposal
Ontario getting sodomized by a hash dealing thug
Uh yes. Making his friends and donors rich. Privatizing schools, health care and stripping the green belt. Wake the fuck up Ontario. fordnation
500k new immigrants will need to live somewhere next year!
1st Nations should expropriate said land!
Raping and pillaging healthcare, education and the environment - and occasionally our Charter of Rights. And because many Ontarians didn’t have the foresight to see this coming, fordnation & company think they have a mandate. Dangerous and sad times.
Perhaps the Globe’s journalists could do some digging into who exactly benefits from paving over these specific farms, forests, and wetlands. Pretend it’s the federal Liberals or something…
“Doug Ford’s government is looking at turning over parts of the protected Greenbelt area to developers, after promising repeatedly not to do so.”
fordnation is opening up green space to his development buddies and Ontario is to blame for that for voting him in…again!!! He’s not building homes that your kids can afford, he’s making millions from his buddies building million dollar homes!
Shame on you for lying fordnation
Wonder who got paid🤔🤔
