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.

What the fuck is with Quebec always trying to cut their nose off to spite the face?

A veterinarian walking the tight rope oblivious to his own fall in the first round. /s A nose bleed is nothing when you play with forest fires. In Québec it’s for forest management because of disproportionate forest fires due to climate change. I read the article, nothing to justify batshit crazy Québec bashing WTF!

Ah, I guess you don't need to manage forests if there isn't any.
