Saving green space, limiting growth should be a priority

-

I agree with letter writer S.L. Baker of Stouffvill­e that seeing all our farmland disappear from southern Ontario is indeed a scary propositio­n. Having to rely on other countries to provide food for us may not be an option in the future.

Why does our government bother to impose a carbon tax on us while at the same time endlessly paving over our countrysid­e?

Unlimited growth is a slippery slope as far as the environmen­t is concerned. I guess limiting such growth would just be too logical a move for our prime minister.
