Farmland conversion and landfill sites
#37
I think the main reason expropriation is going to take place here is due to the tight timeline. Honda or more likely Toyota wants to start design and construction ASAP. They have already mentioned that the are more than willing to build the factory in the USA. If ontario wants this factory we need to act quickly.  Does is suck that a large multinational corporation can hold this much power? Yes, but the alternative is no investment and GDP growth in the province continues to trend in the Negative direction while the Economy of USA and Mexico flourish, leaving canada as the forgotten northern neighbour.  

Farm land was 100% expropriated for the original Toyota plant. This is no different.  Personally I think our region is better off because we have Toyota, but I understand that a lot of people prefer things to never change. 

The farmers are upset, but they now they are getting bank, I stand by this push to stop the land assembly is from the neighbours in New Hamburg that will be living next to a Factory.
