Protecting the environment and green space is absolutely the right thing to do, however like with everything else a measured and proportional approach is required. Cramming more buildings and families into Toronto with its aging and failing infrastructure makes no sense in a country as vast as Canada. We are not jammed for space folks; the development of rural land and the necessary infrastructure just needs to be implemented with a combination of expediency, morality, and a viable long term vision for growth. The 2006 growth plan was very narrow in its vision. With the ever expanding population and the introduction of new urban centres away from Toronto proper there is beautiful land in close proximity that is just waiting for the right kind of rural development. Caledon and in particular the Palgrave Estates Area is an extremely desirable rural location that will surely flourish in the near future. We can  utilize & protect our green space at the same time..from far and wide O Canada
