Oak Ridges Moraine
During the Liberals’ campaign, one main focus was to halt the development on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Now in power, the Liberals are finding that the best they can do is cut the housing developments by 900 out of the 6,600. This compromise unfolded as a result of legal documents set in place by the Tory government while still in power. This predicament put the Liberal government in a bind, as the settlement was already dealt with, in order to bring it all to a halt would cost an enormous amount of money. This has raised many issues surrounding the Liberal government, as many were counting on that promise and the protection of the natural habitat in the Oak Ridges Moraine. Since coming to power, the Liberals have realized just how much the Tory government added to our debt. During the campaign, Dalton McGuinty stated that all housing projects on the Oak Ridges Moraine would come to a halt. Now in power, the Liberals have come to realize that deals have already been sealed between the Conservative party while in power and the developers on the project. In order to stop this development, it would cost billions of dollars that we can not afford. The be
During the campaign, Dalton McGuinty made a promise to bring all housing projects on the Oak Ridges Moraine to a halt. Unfortunately all the Premier has done about this is cut down the developments by 900 houses. Many feel that Premier Dalton McGuinty did not fight hard enough to stop the project altogether. People everywhere feel betrayed and are protesting against it. Environmentalists are worried about the natural habitat, after all the water supply is surely to be affected, and is the drinking water of the Greater Toronto Area. Also, wildlife corridors and air pollution will surely feel the negative impacts. Many feel that the government should spend the billions of dollars to acquire the land and stop the development; insisting the area should be a protected managed forest or conservation area. Winning the campaign was the first step for the Liberals. Following through with the issues they addressed is the next, and unfortunately, they are not following through with their original plan for the Oak Ridges Moraine.
