@gemelliz @stephenwickens1 there is a GO station near me that the province let a plot be developed near it. When asked why none of it was slated for affordable housing Ford (Surma) basically said “hey, look over there!” More developer giveaways! https://globalnews.ca/news/9661421/danforth-go-affordable-housing-metrolinx-questions/
@torontostar “corruption can be overcome by efficient messaging” … isn’t that a great political slogan
"The Ford Conservatives "imagine they can get out from under the #Greenbelt by telling people one thing, doing another thing, and then insisting they did the right thing.”
"If the PC's lose the next election, we may look back on the Greenbelt’s unravelling as the beginning of the end for Doug Ford."

@tezoatlipoca @Pinchy63 @girls_can this was my same thought. To this day, some people are still more outraged about “the Hydro One thing!” they can’t even describe than they are about any or all the things this PC organization has done. Wynne was pushed off the glass cliff while Ford irreversibly destroys these ecosystems for his friends.
@Pinchy63 @Ulrich_the_Elder @gemelliz @prachisrivas @hannu_ikonen specifically, 18% of voting age Ontarians are going to privatize Ontario’s healthcare.
@gemelliz @girls_can @f800gecko Maybe Ford and the Cons didn't campaign on these issues, but it's not like there weren't warning signs from the previous administration. As soon as he was elected in 2018, the cons reduced social services, shut down watchdogs, cancelled a min wage increase, appointed buddies to cushy jobs, etc. By 2019 they were laying off health care workers. Why would anyone be surprised by the latest developments?

Well, now we know exactly what Conservatives mean what they say 'steadfast'. 🤪
These clowns are either liars or aiming to have us believe wilful ignorance negates ministerial accountability.
“Both Mr. Ford and Mr. Clark say they were unaware of the way the lands were chosen.”
Nothing goes down in any cabinet member’s office in relation to party funders that escapes the view of those whose re-election hangs in the balance.
Are we really to believe one doofus funnelled billions from the public trust into the hands of crime lords and his bosses knew nothing?
@girls_can corrupt is as corrupt does
I’m still reeling over the #Ford and #Clark response to the #auditorgeneral report in #ontario. How could they totally ignore the evidence that developing the #greenbelt was wholly unnecessary and actually CAN’T be fast because it is totally unserviced, with no sewer or water infrastructure- because it wasn’t supposed to ever be developed 🤦🏻♀️. How can they still claim the “ends justify the means” because it was the sole solution to the housing crisis? It’s just straight up lies.
@gemelliz Exactly. And he spent how much of our money fighting to to Supreme Court to hide the Mandate Letter of our government from us?
Here's the question everyone in #Ontario should be asking today:
"If Doug Ford is ok with $8.3 BILLION in corrupt land deals being the centrepiece of his "housing plan", how many BILLIONS in corrupt deals were used in his transit, healthcare, and #OntarioPlace plans?"
Doug Ford’s #Greenbelt scheme betrayed the public — and he should pay dearly for that.
Ford came to power alleging #corruption by a previous Liberal government and now presides over a corrupted political process of his own making.

@jockr No surprise the “Toronto-developer” seeking to delay the auditor investigation is Silvio De Gasperis.
The 30,000 homes proposed for Duffins Rouge Preserve, the former ‘crown jewel’ of Ontario’s #Greenbelt are being developed by Silvio De Gasperis, primo donor, friend & wedding guest of #DougFord. Land around the Science Centre is also being developed by De Gasperis family #onpoli #topoli
And that little bit of green on the edge of the property beside Eglinton Ave has already been purchased by the Condrain Group, which is controlled by the De Gasperis family who were guests at a recent Ford wedding.

Doug Ford is stealing from Ontario: the Greenbelt, Ontario Place, the Science Centre, healthcare, education… why are we not in the street demanding his resignation with a general strike? What else does he have to steal from us to give to his friends in order for us to do something about it? #dofo #onpoli
Ontario Premier Doug Ford:
“Folks, we have a housing crisis, so I had to destroy the greenbelt to give billions to greedy mafia speculators who donated to my campaign.”
