LETTER: Say no to highways; we can't grow food on pavement

Do you see a connection between loss of farmland and future food insecurity for you and your family, letter writer asks
highway freeway stock

While hundreds of hungry people here in Newmarket and other Ontario towns line up at church kitchen doors every day for a meal, the guy who has never missed a meal in his life is all set to push a six-lane highway right through prime farmland.

Do you see a connection between loss of farmland and future food insecurity for you and your family? We can’t grow food on pavement!

Wake up and vote accordingly. Say NO to Highway 413 and the Bradford bypass.
