Farmland conversion and landfill sites

[danbrotherston]

I'm surprised that there would be much opposition to potentially thousands of well-paid manufacturing jobs.  Not the Kitchener I grew up in.

Statements like these are...I'll be polite and say "misleading".

Would you not also be surprised that there would be opposition to housing in the middle of a housing crisis?

The point is neither of these things exist in a vacuum.

It isn't "jobs" that are being opposed here, it's the immense environmental and cultural destruction that you are willing to suffer in order to bring those "jobs"...

And a statement like that is...again, I'll politely call it "misleading" because it hides that significant harm, and implies foolishness on the part of those who disagree. Instead of recognizing the real trade off at play here.
