Every paragraph in this piece by @doreennicoll61 is a quote. There really is no legitimate explanation for what the government is doing to the Greenbelt.
“The Hammer is coming down hard on Ford on urban sprawl.”

This report demolishes the popular idea that Nimby resistance and bad zoning are repressing housing supply in the GTA. What it shows instead is that an oligopoly of developers is doing that intentionally in order to inflate prices.
These are my comments re the draft new Official Plan for Durham Region. I am focussing these comments specifically on the proposal to include the Northeast Pickering lands otherwise known as the Carruthers Headwaters as a recommended SABE. @NoSprawlDurham @MSIFN @enviroactionajp

The Ontario gov is dismantling the Growth Plan that will result in more sprawl and loss of agriculture land. This is most definitely a food security issue especially in face of climate change @metromorning @mattgallowaycbc @sarah_harmer #greenbelt – at Toronto, Ontario

.@envirodefence, in a statement, says Ford government’s new Bill 66 “repudiates Premier Doug Ford’s promise not to touch the Greenbelt, threatens drinking water, undermines evidence-based city planning, and removes protection from toxic chemicals for Ontario residents.”
