Could you imagine a freedom convoy but focused on the corruption that this deal was. Like not rest until ford and every businesses that exploited this deal through illegal means brought to justice or the shady laws that allowed them to corrupt government was fixed. Could really bring the province together.
You forgot that there are far fewer shitbag needle-weenie arsonist dodge-ram piloting assholes who care about this issue because it’s not squinty mcproudboy and the rest of them trying to string up hair guy.
So no one’s gonna be parking their trucks and honking their horns all.fucking.night and starting fires in mail slots and such. For freedum.
Until the government freezes their bank accounts to starve the protesters out and keep their gangs in power.
So maybe let’s not organize and seek funding from foreigners like Robert Kennedy Jr and other groups while planning to block trade route’s in and out of the country. Let’s just keep it simple and canadian. Might as well not put people like confederate larper pat king at the top either.
Take your time, RCMP. We don’t have another election until 2026, and there are too many forgetful voters who will gloss over this event if it ends now with Amato’s resignation.
Or don’t and get this moron out of office immediately
Or we could have both:
- Amato out
- a loooong and public investigation
Hell, let the federal Blues wear it if it fits.
If you’re living in Ontario, email or call your MPP and ask why Ford is only imementing 14 of the 15 recommendations. It’s very telling that the 15th is the ones that actually directly would impact his developer friends. And honestly, screw them. Screw them even more if they’ve started the development process already and would have to stop. Maybe then they’ll learn to do things the right way, not push it through these back channels like we’re some country without laws.
I mean I could but she’s NDP and I feel like I’d be preaching to the choir.
Edit: but yes, at the very least the greenbelt plan must go back to the drawing board. As long as the corrupted process is allowed to continue, any suggestion of justice is a sham.
The bad guys were caught red handed and they still get to win.
The only way this can come to a meaningful conclusion is for two things to happen.
First, steps should be taken now to lock in who is going to have to pay if found guilty. No passing the buck. No transfer of assets. No “bankruptcies”.
Second, anyone found guilty must be held financially liable for any necessary remediation. Then anyone left standing must forfeit any land they own in the greenbelt. Ideally, not just the specifically contested properties, but everything.
So, the Russia repayment plan but smaller scale.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The RCMP said Wednesday it has received a referral from provincial police in Ontario to “investigate irregularities” in the Ford government’s controversial Greenbelt land swap.
The confirmation came shortly after the OPP released a statement saying that to “avoid any potential perceived conflict of interest” the force had asked the Mounties to decide whether an investigation is warranted.
The OPP said in January that its Anti Rackets Branch was working to determine if evidence provided in multiple formal complaints about the Greenbelt land swap supported an investigation.
As recently as Aug. 9, the day Ontario’s auditor general released an explosive report on how thousands of hectares of Greenbelt land were opened for housing development, the OPP said that work was still ongoing.
Ryan Amato, former chief of staff to Housing Minister Steve Clark, oversaw a process that was heavily influenced by a small group of politically-connected developers who had direct access to him, the auditor general said.
The report said Amato — not non-partisan public servants — selected 14 of the 15 sites that were ultimately removed from the Greenbelt and the majority were chosen after suggestions from developers who lobbied him personally through encounters at an industry event or in emails sent by their lawyers.
