If Ford and Clarke won't reopen the #greenbelt development restrictions, the federal government should act quickly to put a 100% windfall tax on any land price appreciation due to public policy changes.

For those interested, here is the Ontario Auditor General’s report (pdf) on the Greenbelt.

Even the table of contents indicates how damning the document is.

Our statement on the AGs report into the Ford government's #Greenbelt land take-outs. Shady stuff!

"There isn’t much that makes Ontarians angrier than elected representatives using government to benefit themselves and enrich their friends. And yet here we are. While people are struggling to make ends meet, an unnecessary, thoroughly biased process aimed at enriching a few was made a top priority."

Rampant corruption in #Ontario with #DougFord's developer cronies trying to scoop $8B (that's a 'B') profit from the protected greenbelt AND Taylor Swift touring.
So which gets top billing right now on the #CBC website? Wrong guesses only.

“Ontario's AG reveals Premier Doug Ford directed Housing Minister Steve Clark to conduct “swaps, expansions, contractions and policy updates” related to the Greenbelt. Developers then had direct influence over which lands were removed.

Developers had direct influence over #Ontario Greenbelt land removal, ... The explosive report from Bonnie Lysyk into the government's dealings with developers comes after a six-month investigation.”

@Pinchy63 @girls_can Remember those power plants that the OLP cancelled? And it turned out that it cost a bit more to cancel than anticipated? The only scandal there is that McGuinty knew (the real cost) and covered it up, then (tried 2) covered up the coverup. Charges knocked to misdemeanors. But he was out and it tainted Wynnes whole term.

This government has done outright *illegal* things and so little outrage? This just broke, so maybe this might be the straw that breaks the camel.

When you pass on the high profile and controversial task to a staffer and take no role in the decision process, you’re obviously deciding to “keep your hands clean” in advance. That’s mens rea.

Ignorance is no excuse! and should have known the land swap would be controversial and ensured a fair and transparent land selection process. Not shuffled the dirty job off onto a chief of staff to enrich influential developers. They should be held accountable for this .

in . Surprising literally no one, @OntarioAuditor concludes that a high level staffer gave preferential treatment to certain developers in the land grab. What IS shocking is that just 2 developers stand to gain $8.3 billion and own 92% of the land involved. These 2 pirates are robbing Ontarians of 1000 acres of and .

Nope. COVID-19 isn’t rising because of a “Summer Surge” it’s rising from a “You acted like COVID was over” surge. #COVID #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp
