Former chief of staff in Greenbelt scandal breaks silence, as sources say Doug Ford was caught off guard by his resignation

The RCMP branch that probes corruption and political crimes is looking into Greenbelt “irregularities” related to Premier Doug Ford’s $8.28 billion land swap amid the unexpected resignation of a top Progressive Conservative aide.

Along with many voices from across the spectrum, we're calling on the #Ontario provincial government to implement ALL of the recommendations from the #OntarioAuditorGeneral report, including Recommendation 14: Re-evaluation of 2022 Decision to Change the Greenbelt Boundaries. (6/9)

Does anyone in Ontario really believe that choice plots of land in the Greenbelt are going to be used to build affordable housing?

"What we are doing is trying to build 50,000 homes for people that need it," Ford said. #corruption

How developers influenced the Ford government to open up their Greenbelt land for housing | CBC News

One of the most stunning revelations contained in Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk’s explosive report into Ontario’s controversial Greenbelt land swap was how a small number of real estate developers were able to use their access to a high-level government staffer to have protected land – some of which was recently purchased – opened up for housing development.

About That with Andrew Chang

Andrew Chang goes beyond the headlines and explains the major news stories everybody is talking about.

Substantial rain in Halifax is giving us a break on our vacation so I'm catching up on news. Ford's corrupt government is not a surprise but the greenbelt scandal is another level. I hope that the media remains focused on this story, even after he inevitably does something else corrupt or moronic. This scandal is a huge betrayal of public trust AND obvious enrichment of his cronies.
