Int6eresting that water is present at the highest points all along the moraine. Kinda defies Physics doesn't it ?
Charles Gardner is a demonstrable quack who was repeatedly proven totally wrong during covid. The fact he has a job after Covid is very scary. When you look back at videos like this you realize he is a complete blowhard. He is a walking talking liability.
I learned so much in this video ❤
Great video, super informative. Makes me want to learn more.
Very very proud of my niece whose integrity and love of Nature are making a difference !!
Thanks for sharing
GO ALEX 🎉
it is agood prsention for you

Chào bạn cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẽ video❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video and informative.
Great video. Everyone living in southern Ontario needs to see this video to understand and appreciate the incredible value of the Oak Ridges Moraine.
Nicely done Steve. This is so interesting! I have to watch a couple more time to take it all in. Thank you so much. I will also share in my homeowners clients network and social media. Thi is such positive news and information.
What a great video about this hidden resource hardly anyone is ever thinking about! Well done!!
Reclamation of hard waters of Ontario wherever they exist such as in Wellington County where I reside by using chemical treatment is not only cost prohibitive but is riddled with side effects as for animal and human health. Whereas, phytoremediation i.e., using select tree plantations extensively all along the river offshores has immense ;and promising potential to prevent and control the problem waters. Tamarind, Jamun, Red Sanders, Banyan trees have been well known in this regard. These have a significant potential to adapt themselves to the climatic conditions of Canada.
Great video.
One of the best explanations of how the moraine functions I have heard. In light of the terrible flooding in the city this week very timely.
Thank you for sharing your knowledgge. Save dont pave the precious moraine! Time to start thinking of future generations.
STOP Doug Ford!!!!!
LET'S BUILD SOME HOMES!!
beautiful and hardworking
Inspiring for all women!
Awesome video! Every Ontarian should watch this video 🌳 🍁
I call fake, she claims to be farming in Schomberg Ontario yet she mispronounces Schomberg, nobody in the entire city says the name Schomberg the way Cheyanne says it. Fake girl, fake grassroots campaign, fake everything.
So yes I agree we need greenbelt 100%. But then we complain there is no housing? Where should the new houses go?
We need diverse housing solutions, ones that reduce sprawl. Ford's own government reported theres enough land within the greenbelt to address housing issues for decades.
So how much is ford gonna get out of this
How is this helping when the city of brampton is allowing trees to be cut down so driveways can be widened for illegal basements.everytime a house gets sold the first thing happens is a seperate enterance for basement and a wixened driveway
FORD NEEDS TO GO
Prior to the 1970s it was difficult to sell a home and might take two to five years. The average price in Vancouver at the end of the sixties was $23,939. In Winnipeg $13,588. A house was a place to live in and while homes were bought and sold they did not form the basis of trade in financial paper in an unregulated monopoly market. In the early seventies the stage was set to change that. The newly elected premier of BC, for example, did not take a slow boat to China. The lease on Hong Kong expired in 1997. The Triads (gambling, drugs and prostitution) would launder some of their ill-begotten gains in Canada if conditions were in place that caused property prices to continually rise. Agricultural Land Reserve laws were implemented that inspired movements to place a halt on the use of _all_ land. Citizens were manipulated into establishing that they were a people of compassion and not deniers by rushing to rescue a tree. Each attempted use of land was met with organized opposition. Instead of increasing acreage commensurate with the needs of a growing population land was declared “protected.” Those most affected cheer each time another tract of land is _protected_ that through their action places home ownership beyond reach, tightening the snare on their own demise. Building _upwards_ while halting expansion _outwards_ causes home prices and rents to skyrocket creating a gulf between property owners and the remainder that in major urban areas is measured in millions. Residents of Canada may not utilize a land that was not promised to them. Couples that realize that their children cannot become established do not raise families. This country functions like a gigantic enterprise shunting the lifetime earnings of residents exacted through rent directly into the pockets of the chosen few. Tenancies are replenished by immigration. Life, liberty and _property_ as inalienable rights was changed to life, liberty and the _pursuit of happiness._ Before persons are admitted to public office, whether elected or employed at any level, they should be placed under oath and required to swear to the truth of their response to these questions: _Is your ulterior motive in becoming a public servant to place a halt on the use of the land resource? That was not promised to Canadians? That will cause home prices to skyrocket and shunt the lifetime earnings of citizens exacted through rent directly into the pockets of the chosen few? Unjustly enriching them and leaving residents impoverished and homeless?_
I'm an outdoor ed teacher and i will be showing this to the students 😊
You should be teaching them not showing them propaganda
Honestly, we need an extra, modified copy of this info-ad, but without any music at all, and with a regular, natural voice --- without contrived intonations like "Silocon Sally" style infomercial marketing-voice intonation.
You go girl!❤
This needs to be shared more ❤
Without the Greenbelt Our geographical climate will be disrupted causing millions of species to either go extinct or migrate and confuse the order of things. These Wildfires are being done on purpose.
This video could have really benefited from a Doug Ford looking dinosaur stomping everything to death for better realism lol.
FJT
How Ford got elected is a mystery to me. But, then, how a chronic liar like Trump could possibly get elected is also a mystery to me. What I do know is if we wish to preserve our precious little home then we better boot out of office (and never elect) any politician who would touch the cleverness of the Greenbelt. I'm Vancouver-born and love the colour green.
Developers are among the most powerful people\groups in any political circles. FAr too mcu money and power sits with developers\landlords\proeprty investments. Half, maybe more of the politicians have land eal estate interests\investments.
Could be a lot worse, like the commie ultra-mega-liars like Kathleen Wynne and Dalton McGuinty. Ford is waaaaay better although not perfect.
Ridiculous
You NIMBY, blowhard hypocrites! The entire GTA is built over the old Ontario fruit/orchard belt. Three million Canadian homes short, but you're alright Jack? The green belt is arbitrary when that many people need homes. Full steam ahead Dougie. Trudeau doesn't comprehend the problem.
SAVE OUR FARM LAND/ DON'T DESTROY OUR FOOD PRODUCTION
Trudeau cutting emissions from fertilizer 30% on farmers will destroy not only Canada but the worlds food supply (causing famine in 3rd world nations) more than the 15 plots of land they will be building, which have no one farms
congratulations Janet - well deserved!
Congratulations Janet....
People complaining about higher housing costs should stop hating the green belt and start questioning why we keep wasting our urban land with single family housing. We need more middle density housing like duplexes and triplexes because not everyone can afford or wants a single family house, and not everyone wants or can fit in a tiny closet on the 50th floor.
*promosm* ❣️
Excellent narrative!
Let’s hope our federal government steps in to stop Doug Ford’s reckless building of McMansions on this irreplaceable land. #dougford
They'll build on it. Money is too powerful and the people are too weak to fight against it.
Really well done. Clear and succinct.
Well said....let's hope more people listen.
