Premier Doug Ford is out of touch with the people of Ontario. He has miscalculated just how much we love our Greenbelt.

I wonder if he has ever enjoyed a hike through the forest on the beautiful Oak Ridges Moraine, or marvelled at the many creatures that share the wetlands and green spaces.

Has he ever dipped a paddle in the free-running waters of one of the more than 20 rivers that flow from the Greenbelt? Does he know that some of the best food in Ontario is grown by farmers on the Greenbelt?

The Greenbelt is ours to protect, forever, all of it.

Get to know the Greenbelt, Doug Ford. 

Go take a hike!
