Tell your MPP to return all land to the Greenbelt!

Thanks for joining the Great Greenbelt Calling Wave!

Greenbelt Talking Points:

  • The auditor general’s report showed everyone that the removal of land from the Greenbelt was corrupt.
  • There is no way to restore public trust without FIRST returning the lands removed from the Greenbelt.
  • We have a labour shortage in the construction industry. Building where there is no infrastructure will SLOW housing development instead of speeding it up.
  • We already have enough land assigned for housing. The Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force said so.
  • The Greenbelt legislation already has regular ten-year boundary reviews with a formal and ethical review process. We are several years from the next scheduled review.
  • Suddenly doing an unjustified review of the Greenbelt that could remove more land just makes things worse. 
  • At the very least, development on these lands should be halted until the RCMP completes their investigation.
  • The Greenbelt is important for farmers and local food. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture says we are losing hundreds of acres of farmland every day.
  • If you have voted for your MPP or donated or volunteered with them in the past, be sure to remind them of your past support.
