> In a stunning and confusing announcement this morning, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has added the Paris-Galt Romaine to the Greenbelt. 
>  
> It is stunning as earlier this week the province omitted the Paris-Galt Moraine from plans to increase the Greenbelt due to objections from local municipalities that want to expand onto the Moraine and reduce local water security. It is confusing as Mr Ford kept referring to romaine instead of moraine. When pressed, he stated that it was time to balance the beef, dairy, and sheep lobbies with healthy greens that require less water and generate less pollution. 
>  
> One environmentalist stated that she found the announcement revealing, as it clarifies that Mr Ford is not so much in favour of laissez-faire development over environment protection as he is simply confused between a moraine and romaine lettuce. ‘Now that we know’ she said, ‘we can work with it’.
