Where’s the hammer?

Dear Editor:

RE:  MPP says government reacting to issues raised by Greenbelt report, Aug. 17.

Exactly – reactionary.  The root is the immigration of 500,000 to Ontario, and that’s just legals.  One cannot take a newborn home from a hospital without proper car seat, but we can bring immigrants with no place to house them? 

 The problem isn’t housing, but excess immigration. So building more housing for immigrants and removing food supplying land to the tune of 1,052 acres (just locally in Wellington) is the answer, as Perth-Wellington MPP Matt Rae describes?

“Urban boundaries” is better termed as destroying agricultural land.  In addition, Minto as a municipality doesn’t get a say where that is; they had another location? So local governance isn’t given a say about their own land?

Wow, we Canadians sure do stand for a great deal of nonsense.  When and where exactly does the hammer come down from the people who actually fund this country, province and local community?
