Reason #27 why #FordMustGo

This is an excellent investigative report on Doug Ford and the #GreenbeltScandal. The back room dealing is blatant with obvious insider information being provided for the benefit of a few privileged developers. Ford didn't reverse course because of public outcry - he backed down because he was being investigated by the RCMP. Public opinion means nothing but jail time is a real motivator.

Reason #12 why #FordMustGo

Ford can't understand that it's unethical to sell $150 tickets to lobbyists and developers for his daughter's Stag & Doe. He's confused why it's inappropriate for Tony Miele, Chair of the PC Ontario Fund, the fundraising arm of the Ontario PC Party, to be selling tickets. He doesn't understand boundaries or why he can't take personal advantage of his office.

Ford won't say who sent invites to daughter's $150 stag-and-doe event | CBC News

Ontario Premier Doug Ford will not divulge details of who sent invitations – including to developers – for his daughter's $150-a-ticket stag and doe party, saying only that "the boys took care of that" when asked about the money that was raised.

@monicarooney @c_9 Had to drive up University last weekend. Backup started at Queens Park. Just north of there, at Museum Station, construction takes up two to 3 lanes. Then, at Cumberland, a gigantic crane in right lane for condo project. But blaming bike lanes gets votes. #fordiscorrupt

@EricLawton How about using the notwithstanding clause to force developers to offer 25% affordable housing in every project? #fordiscorrupt

Ford government’s Ontario Place redevelopment was ‘not fair, transparent or accountable,’ auditor general finds in scathing report

Ford's decision to close supervised drug consumption sites near schools and daycares was made "without proper planning," the AG said.

They said the same thing about the St Clair streetcar right-of-way yet now they use it to race by traffic. Let's face it. Cars slow them down, not bikes. #Fordiscorrupt
Toronto Fire worried Bloor bike lanes would slow response times, documents reveal

The decision to install temporary bike lanes during COVID — most became permanent — seemed to come as a surprise at the time to the then-fire chief.
