Few issues have galvanized opposition to the Doug Ford government’s climate and environmental policies as his messing with the boundaries of the Greenbelt - despite his repeated promises not to do so. This episode of Planet Haliburton challenges Ford’s affordable housing rationale for withdrawing 7400 acres from the Greenbelt and delivering over $8 billion in increased land value to a few well-connected developers. In addition, we look Ford’s recent proposed changes to municipal planning rules and the campaigns fighting to save the Greenbelt from Doug Ford’s “Tall and Sprawl” urban agenda.
