SW Ontario is both a shame and necessity. Food security being what it is, Canada needs to maximize areas like the SW for growing. It is extremely flat, gets the strongest sun in Canada, and has fertile soil. We just simply have to grow things there. It's a shame because Carolinian Forest ecozone is the smallest in Canada and almost doesn't even exist considering it's all farmland. Rondeau and Point Pelee are comically small in comparison to what surrounds them. A pipe dream would be a continuous forested stretch between Point Pelee and Rondeau along Lake Erie. Let the Carolinian Forest actually be a thing and most of the land remains farming.

One of our perks here is that it's not just a pancake of farm fields, the hilly topography doesn't allow for it. Maybe I'll expand on this later.
