Meanwhile ford wants to level the greenbelt for profit and overpriced housing...

We have a large section of green space running alongside the waterfront trail in Oshawa.

Home to butterflies, coyotes, deer, and a quite a few different bird species. Now completely levelled and being prepped for new houses. Why in that space? I'd love to know!

Why? Because waterfront properties are valuable, and of course the only reason to build a property is for value and investment. Land can serve no other possible purpose except investment and profit.

Because waterfront properties are valuable

More valuable to wildlife and our natural ecosystem.

But yes, it's always about money and property value.

I can't wait for the new residents to complain about coyotes trying to eat their dogs. God knows, we get enough complaints about wildlife entering urban areas... after their natural habitats were destroyed so we can build a few more houses.
