“Does The Greenbelt Still Matter To You?” (If It Ever Did) – Listen To A CBC Ontario Noon Radio Phone-In Program On That Very Question

A Brief One Posted by Doug Draper on Niagara At Large

November 24^th, 2025

This Monday, November 24^th, 2025 CBC Radio’s Ontario Noon program have a half hour phone in on the province’s Greenbelt, asking listeners if protecting and preserving the Greenbelt still matters to them.

Some of you who are strong supporters of protecting our province’s Greenbelt as a valuable piece of our natural heritage and a source of home-grown food may wonder why such a question is even being asked.

Then again, we have had a recent provincial election that showed little or no evidence that many in Ontario who bothered to go to the polls and vote had the Greenbelt and Premier Doug Ford’s continued attempts to break at least some of it up for highways and urban development in mind as a priority for them to protect and preserve.

The Ford government won another big majority – possibly sending a message to it that saving the Greenbelt matters less than paving over, as Ford once put it, “chunks of it.”
