Which is strange, given Ontario's decidedly lack luster economy and broken finances

So, #dumbford is getting rid of farmland, to grew food, for car factory.... I would love to hear ontarians justify getting rid of food security, to make environmental choking cars...

There is lots of industrial land all around why would anyone destroy good farm land? Unless ford and his friends are making money off that particular plot of land? Ontario needs to stop the development of good farm land for profit! Vote because every vote counts!

Why do Doug and Co want to pave over farmland? We need the means to grow our own food. Short sighted as always.

Loblaws doesn’t buy a lot of Ontario produce, so the Weston clan have told Doug it’s OK by them.

When my great-great-grandather tried this in Windsor, he got hauled into court. Now it's government policy.

We need the industry, but let’s put it on marginal land, not limited, irreplaceable farmland. Various geo- political-climate reasons, we will increasingly need to be able to source our food from domestic sources. That means we need to protect prime agricultural farmland.

More Ford corruptario.

I suppose it's a good thing we don't need land to grow food to you know - eat.
