Land Over Landings have posted a petition to tell Stephen Harper to stop the Pickering airport development citing the following points.
- Building an unneeded airport is an inexcusable waste of taxpayers’ money.
- Putting an airport or other development on foodland is grossly irresponsible; farmland is permanently destroyed by development.

- Foodland close to Canada’s largest and fastest-growing city must be fiercely protected to ensure future food security.
- No government has a right to deprive future generations of an irreplaceable food and freshwater resource.
