I am sure that if Davis were alive today he would be fighting alongside Ontarians against the current government’s anti-environment Bill 23 and Greenbelt land grab. One of the things that makes the Greenbelt so special is how popular it is, and understandably so. Even the Ontario’s own Affordable Housing Task Force released a report in February that concluded “a shortage of land is not the problem” for the housing crisis and recommended not touching the Greenbelt.
