Why in the world would you consider sacrificing farmland?
THIS is the GOLDILOCK zone- Southern Ontario.
Longest list of crops grown in North America except California which has to transport water to their crops. -Mark Kruesser

Ontario is under attack and the Federal Government should quickly re-designate Highway 413 for Impact Assessment under an updated Impact Assessment Act. environmentaldefence.ca/2024/04/15/fed… via @envirodefence #Stopthe413 #StopSprawl

If you're concerned that this MOU-which does not affect the re-designation of Highway 413 for federal Impact Assessment-presages an intention NOT to re-designate, the best thing to do is keep up the pressure on MPs. Start w @EnviroDefence's online action! act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/141037/ac…

The Canada-Ontario MOU regarding evaluation of proposals regarding Highway 413 does NOT prevent Canada from re-designating & @EnviroDefence - & voters who care about the environment, still expect - & demand 413 be re-redesignated under the new, revised Impact Assessment Act.

Experts ignored and orders for staffers to remain silent. Fresh documents in the #GreenbeltScandal. #onpoli

NEW: Behind the scenes in the frantic weeks and months before the Greenbelt and municipal boundary decisions. Internal documents reveal political staff ignored expert advice from bureaucrats. Now, the RCMP is investigating. #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…

“They went behind our backs and went after some of the best farmland in Ontario.” So similar to the #GreenbeltScandal. #onpoli

New investigation from @fatimabsyed and me: Internal provincial docs show the Ontario government expanded Hamilton’s urban boundary in large part because of requests from unnamed “third parties” — and despite warnings from public servants. #onpoli thenarwhal.ca/hamilton-urban…
