Important thread.
We had the privilege to attend a meeting today with landowners, public interest groups, environmentalists & politicians to discuss solutions for the farmland loss issue in Wilmot. If this land expropriation goes ahead, there will be devastating long-term impacts: 🧵1/8

So many questions… “Why must prime agricultural land be used for this, instead of, say a disused gravel pit? Wilmot Township is also at its limit for future development, unless a new wastewater treatment plant is built.” Dorothy Wilson #onpoli

Two ex-staffers of the Ford government who were central to the Greenbelt scandal & resigned in the heat of it received exit packages, according to info from a few kinds of sources, including the Sunshine List. From @Thetrilliumca & @thenarwhalca: thetrillium.ca/news/the-trill…
👏Well said, @kthomason. "There are so many opportunities from brownfields/grayfields reclamation & doing this far more sustainable & in a way that everyone comes out a winner." #Wilmot #farmers #farmersProtest #impacts

if the government can swoop in and take the land from you, that you rely on for the food production, well, that makes agriculture very uncertain” 🛑The Region's own policy on land-banking encourages "consultation" and "willing partners". So who is driving this process? #onpoli

Without action today to stop the catastrophic development of farmland,Wilmot will become an industrial community instead of a farming one. The cities of our region will lose food security, as food will no longer be coming from the surrounding fields once they are paved over.🧵5/9
The uncertainty felt by our family is being replicated across the township, across the region, and across the province, on other farms. Why would someone invest further in their farm if it can be taken away on a whim? 🧵7/9
Sincere thanks @kthomason for deputing on the “Get it Done Wrong Act” ;) Expropriating 770 prime agricultural land for industrial purposes runs counter to everything WR stands for…and may compromise our future water supply. Democracy still matters in Ontario. #onpoli

From today's media release: Over the past few weeks, a devastating, destructive plan has come to light in our community. While the current project does not directly implicate our farm, the effects are far reaching for the farming community and our family farm business. 🧵1/9
