In a significant turn of events, the Ford government has reversed its controversial decision to develop the Greenbelt, thanks to the relentless advocacy of Ontarians. Ontario Greens leader Mike Schreiner hailed this moment as a triumph of public activism, highlighting the importance of community engagement in holding leaders accountable. However, concerns linger about Premier Ford’s past comments labeling the Greenbelt a ‘scam,’ prompting calls for ongoing vigilance and a public inquiry to ensure the integrity of government dealings. The Green Party is also pushing for legislation to ensure the Greenbelt’s permanent protection and the development of affordable housing.
