Once again Melissa thank you for bringing the information to the public. Thanks for gently reminding those in charge that when it comes to decisions like this, keeping people in the dark will not win support or understanding. It is very troubling that work already done regarding employment lands by the region itself that seem to have been tossed aside along with the countryside line to acquire these 700 acres of working, productive farmland. Thank you for calling out the misguided comments of Ian McLean at the KW Greater Chamber of Commerce and Ontario's Premier.

This whole business stinks and it would be encouraging to see our elected officials, and champions of progress start speaking about it without deflection and some integrity. Acknowledging that a NDA is in play, would it not be beneficial to bring us, the communities they say will be benefitting from the expropriation of active farms, on board and to an informed position.

Thank you, again, for providing so much information about what is happening. Agreed that there is way too much silence around this issue from many in governing & decision-making positions. I’ll look forward to your next piece on this very important issue!
