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…
Phil Pothen 🇨🇦 he/him@pothen
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.

“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…
