‘Don’t betray our trust’

Dear Editor:

An open Letter to Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Please Mr. Ford, be a man and acknowledge not just your mistake but also a broken promise not to touch the Greenbelt. Land for affordable housing is available elsewhere and you know it. So does our sitting member in Queen’s Park, Ted Arnott.

As a true-blue voting longtime Tory, I would appreciate you not falling back on hackneyed “talking points” and accept some responsibility.

The late, great U.S. president Harry Truman had a sign on his office desk that said succinctly, “The buck stops here!”

Also those of us who donate to environmental causes and specifically The Bruce Trail and Nature Conservancy that purchase conservation properties are led to believe these will be protected in perpetuity.

Don’t betray our trust. It can’t be won back easily come election time.

Stan Litch,
Elora
