Changing our Greenbelt

My Single Issue Political Platform

world's dumbest farms

As an unknown independent candidate running in the Nepean riding I obviously have no chance of winning this election. While I will express my opinions on other issues I am here for only one reason. Continuing in my quest to raise awareness of the overwhelming geographical flaw that is our Ottawa Greenbelt. It was a very short sighted vision and it is a travesty that it is allowed to continue in its current ludicrous form.

All urban greenbelts have one main purpose. To provide a buffer zone between an urban center and the surrounding countryside. Therefore limiting as much as possible excessive urban sprawl. Developed much too small to contain an important growing city this "greenbelt" has therefore created the massive sprawl that it was initially designed to contain. It is outrageous that it has been allowed to remain intact as it is and I am determined to finally change that.

I have outlined in this website why The Ottawa Greenbelt must be changed and my ideas how it can be changed. I hope you will take a few minutes and review my proposal.

Then send me an email and tell me what you think- PeterScott3000@yahoo.ca

Parts to Always Preserve

Mer Bleue

7,700 year old peat bog in the east end that is a vital wetland with interpretive trails.
Shirley's Bay

On the Ottawa River in the west end that is a beautiful place for kayaking and bird watching.
Stony Swamp

The most ecologically diverse protected area in the region with 40 kilometers of trails.
Biking and Hiking

I have enjoyed biking and hiking on the greenbelt's many paths and trails for decades.

I am running in the Nepean riding as an independent. I love our city of Ottawa but want to see it changed. Check out my mobile bike repair business that has been serving our area for over forty years. Bikemobile.

unnecessary election

World's Dumbest Farms

Doug Ford has forced us to go to the polls 15 months early for very dishonest reasons. While he claims it is to fight the bogus trump tariffs it is clearly for much different and more selfish reasons.

the city agrees with me

The City of Ottawa published a White Paper report outlining the flaws of its own "greenbelt" and gives in detail how it is wasteful. But the NCC controls the land so it is very difficult to change it.

My Greenbelt Video

I made this video eight years ago but it is only a little out of date. Melanie Joly no longer represents the NCC in the Federal Government, and there has been much more development outside of this "belt".

Civil Service Unions

People in the private sector have a growing resentment towards those in the public sector. We have allowed the minority that is the public sector to have too much power over the rest of us and it has to stop.

Government Reform

World's Dumbest Farms

An unknown candidate will likely win this election in my riding because he is Conservative. This is wrong on all levels. We should be voting for the person knocking at the door and not just for the party and its leader.

our precious environment

Our environment has always been my main concern. Climate change is not the only growing problem. We are destroying our planet in many ways and we must get our house in order so mankind can thrive forever.

why change this "belt"

World's Dumbest Farms

The Ottawa Greenbelt was a flawed, short sighted vision and it is time we fixed it. It is doing more harm to our local environment than it has ever helped. We must protect much of it but make changes in other parts.

how to change this "belt"

First we must plant more trees along the roadways to make them safer and more pleasant. Starting with Greenbank Road out to Barrhaven. The farms must be made into something to benefit us all.
