Farmland conversion and landfill sites

Indeed. Everything from auto parts, railroad jobs, logistics, manufacturing, trucking, bus operators...heck even custodial positions.

I can't imagine being in such a privileged position that one would argue that more jobs are a bad thing - and a cultural travesty (whatever that means). It's harder than ever to find work, so we should welcome any potential new business or industrial operations in our region. That will provide significantly more benefit to our community than a small number of farms will.

The privileged position is key here. I don't think some people realize how poorly our economy is actually doing. We can't continue to rely only on the Tech sector for job growth in this Region. I image if we somehow fumble this, Hamilton or London will have no problem gobbling up farm land for a multi-billion dollar investment.
