The suburban housing trap is unfolding across North America. We need to be smarter about capitalizing on existing investments Emphasis in #Bill185 to allow development we’re servicing doesn’t exist is expensive & reckless of @OntarioPCParty strongtowns.org/journal/2024/4…

To paraphrase the great Chrissie Hynde's "Ohio" lyric... Ontario farmland is being paved down the middle by a government that has no pride. #Bill185 #StopSprawl

Zoning changes from farmland to urban make ASTRONOMICAL profits for some speculators (not all developers) #StopSprawl #Bill185

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 #Bill185

Everything that has been done (to protect farmland) has been blown up. #Bill185 -Mark Reusser, Director of Waterloo Fed. Of Agriculture

Participating in the Alliance for a Liveable Ontario's webinar on the disastrous #Bill185. Ford government ignores all expert advice and information, for instance, that sprawl is having a serious effect on water quality.

@modernfarmer @WREDC_Tony @CFifeKW @john_vanthof @OntarioNDP I dont disagree with this but heres a scarier point...the regional official plan won't exist by the end of the year based on what is in #bill185

Farmers say: "The government's emphasis on expediting the development process to address the housing supply crisis is understandable, but it must not disregard the long-term implications for agricultural sustainability and food security." #Bill185 #onpoli @StopSprawlPeel

Lots of talk about those line fences in debate about Bill 185 by Conservatives. Weird as farmland will be paved by the thousands of acres with Ford’s boundary expansions onto prime soil. Akin to moving around the deck chairs on the Titanic. #Bill185 #Ontario

Last week the Province introduced Bill 185, the “Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act.” It does some good things and some bad things… #onmuni #onpoli #bill185

Don't let Ford shut out public voices. #bill185 "Farmers, as business owners and custodians of valuable agricultural resources, deserve to have their voices heard and their interests safeguarded in any land use decision-making. " #onpoli christianfarmers.org/media/commenta…

@TheAgenda @jm_mcgrath Loss of public appeal rights at the OLT affects more than urban neighbours, it affects #farmers, #rural landowners on groundwater from industrial rezoning, bad council decisions. With a loss of regional planning we can expect a lot more bad local council decisions. #bill185
