Green Is the New Black: The Dark Side of Ontario Development

The truth of the matter is that the government of Ontario has been using the Greenbelt as a tool to facilitate development and line the pockets of developers who donate to the Doug Ford’s political party. This has been done without the public‘s knowledge, and without proper environmental oversight or public consultation.

The lack of transparency and accountability in the Ontario government’s handling of the Greenbelt has led to a number of serious and concerning implications. Firstly, it has meant that the precious landscape of the Greenbelt has been damaged and destroyed to make way for development. This has not only had a negative impact on the environment, but also on local wildlife and ecosystems.

Secondly, it has meant that local communities have not been given the opportunity to have their voices heard. This has meant that decisions are being made without considering the needs and wishes of local people and organizations.

Thirdly, it has meant that taxpayers‘ money is being used to fund projects that are not in the public’s interest. Developers and those close to the government have been able to benefit financially from these projects, while the public has been left to bear the brunt of the costs. Finally, it has meant that the government of Ontario is not living up to its commitment to protecting the environment.

With climate change a growing concern, protecting the Greenbelt should be a priority for the Ontario government, yet it appears that this is not the case. It is clear that the government of Ontario has been using the Greenbelt as a tool for development, and that this practice is not in the public’s best interests. It is essential that the government is held to account for its actions, and that transparency and accountability are ensured. Only then can the public be sure that the Greenbelt is being managed responsibly, and that the environment is being protected.
