In a recent statement, Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner criticized Premier Doug Ford’s government for prioritizing urban sprawl and costly development over sustainable planning. He condemned the consolidation of the Provincial Planning Statement and the Growth Plan for Greater Golden Horseshoe, arguing that it threatens prime farmland and forces unwanted urban expansions. Schreiner emphasized the need for a housing strategy that promotes gentle density and affordable homes within existing neighborhoods, rather than perpetuating the housing crisis through unchecked sprawl.
