Hands off the Greenbelt!

Hands off the Greenbelt! Add your name.

Four years ago, the people of Ontario rose up and told Doug Ford to keep his hands off the Greenbelt. He backed down.

But now he’s trying again.

Late last week, the government released its plan to open up 7,400 acres of protected Greenbelt lands for development.

This will destroy precious farmland and put people and their property in harm’s way as the frequency and severity of extreme weather events escalates.

Ford’s legacy of environmental destruction gets worse every day. And once these critical environmentally sensitive lands are gone, they are gone forever.

The government is wrong when it says we must choose between protecting the environment we love and building the housing we desperately need.

It’s time to end expensive sprawl and to permanently protect our remaining farmland, watersheds, and green space for present and future generations.

Dear {{NAME}},

Four years ago, your plans to carve up the Greenbelt had to be scrapped in the face of overwhelming public opposition.

At that time, you said: “The people have spoken. We won’t touch the Greenbelt. That’s it.”

Are your promises worth nothing, Mr. Premier? How else to explain the announcement  that your government now plans to open up large parcels of protected Greenbelt land for development.

The people haven’t changed. We still love the Greenbelt, we still want it protected. And we will still speak out against any plan to build on this land. You must keep your promise and cancel this ill-advised proposal.

We don’t have to choose between protecting the environment we love and building the housing we desperately need. Urban sprawl is an environmental and economic disaster. We need to build homes where people want to live – near transit and shops, where they can work and play without the soul-crushing commutes that steal their time with loved ones.

On behalf of this and future generations, I urge you to withdraw the proposal to build on the Greenbelt. It’s the right thing to do.

Sincerely,

You can submit this letter as-is or change it to reflect your own priorities. Your comment will be forwarded with the subject line "Hands off the Greenbelt", including your name, email and postal code to Doug Ford. You will also be added to the GPO mailing list but you can unsubscribe at any time.
