“Premier Doug Ford says the province will review and “re-evaluate” all lands in the Greenbelt — including those that are part of controversial land-swap deals that have engulfed the government and forced the resignations of a cabinet minister and his chief of staff.”
removed, he better do more than a walk back. Selling govt land to his rich buddies should cost him dearly!
Just a correction, it’s not government land. It’s land protected by the government, but it always was privately owned.
Good point, thank you.

Another poster shower us there is a nicer way to point this out.
Be better.
He’s consistently shown he won’t do that. It’s time we block him.
Edit: I can’t see this comment anymore. :-)
Great idea!

No. You can be civil regardless of the forum or media when giving feedback.

There is a weighted bias on the direction of the arrow presses. Clearly my replies are off topic and shouldn’t count towards your metric.

“I encourage the integrity commissioner to hold people accountable that don’t follow the rules”
LOL, the supreme irony of Doug uttering these words during his presser
The Auditor General’s report suggested the government re-evaluate the 14 parcels that were slated for removal from the Greenbelt. But they are “not pausing development on the 14 parcels”; they’re re-evaluating all lands in the Greenbelt. So it sounds like Doug is doubling down on disregarding the AG’s suggestion by instead looking for more to remove.
Seems like a cheap trick to act like they’re listening to reason, while doing the exact opposite.
“We’ll say that we’ll re-evaluate it until we come up with something else to outrage Ontarians, then continue to do nothing but profit from our open corruption.”
This will all blow over and the families of wealthy cronies will live in luxurious estates built on that prime green space.
Part of me wishes the more enterprising types out there never let them have a moment of peace and quiet on that land.
This reminds me of the last Ontario election where 57% of eligible voters stayed home and did not vote. You are being governed by a criminal who got 18% of the vote. DO BETTER!!! VOTE NEXT TIME!!!
@Ulrich_the_Old @moormaan … worth adding: in an election where polling places were cut by 75% in the province’s biggest city*, and new provincial legislation muzzled opponents from placing the usual ads in run up to the election.
#DougFordIsCorrupt #ONpoli #TOpoli* edit: see comment on this thread re: cutting of polling places (not done by Ford government)
@deborahh @Ulrich_the_Old @moormaan Ford is terrible and corrupt, but for clarity he does not control Elections Ontario polling site decisions. EO is an non-partisan independent agency (Elections Canada too), and it was COVID-related voter space decisions that were a big part of that consolidation of locations in one riding, Toronto Centre.
Just wanted to clarify that piece for anyone reading who’s unfamiliar with how elections work in Canada, as I work with EO & EC during elections.
@c_9 @Ulrich_the_Old @moormaan thanks! I will edit it.
It’s like the more power a person’s single vote has, the less they care about it. Human psychology, man.
Doug, resign.
Why? What incentive does he have to stop doing what he’s doing when he’s been getting away with it for 5+ years?
Ford has insisted that he had nothing to do with it, and all reports so far have failed to show that he did. But we all know that no one would be carving up the Greenbelt in the first place if it wasn’t for Ford and his cronies. Eventually a piece of evidence will come out that links him, and he will be forced to change his story.
