    We only need the political will to, since I’m sure most people would want to live in a better version of what they have now.

    You would think, but a fair amount of people I talk to in the 40+ do not want to change and actually are opposed to change.

    People seem to think this is how we have always lived, and it’s only really been 2 or 3 generations that have lived with so much excess.

      I’m in that group, and I have no problem seeing positive changes happen. What’s the point of being resistant to change, if it means living in a worse situation? To me, it makes no sense.

      I want to see our communities become more human-centric, because the direction we are going would not be the future I want my kids and grandkids living in.

      Exactly! These things aren’t some long-standing traditions we need to cling onto. They are recent problems (that we created) that can be corrected if we act quickly. And we sure as shit can’t fix things with a government who wants to push Ontario in the opposite direction.
