#FEderalBudget2025 #CanPoli Just heard a commentator on CBC say that the days of big new transfers to provinces are over. If that's true, all the Fedss need to do if #OnPOil tries to criticize is cite #DougFord and his skills development slush fund ($10-million to an "adult entertainment club" ! ) IF you cab=n afford that, you dn;t need federal money... case closed.

Really? Really #CBC? You cut from a conversation about #CPC plans and strategies, which followed a conversation about how the #LPC is splitting/leadership race positioning, to a 16yo volunteer at #Conservative headquarters/election night party. And he has been platformed for the past 5 minutes babbling on Conservative talking points.

Let me see what other coverage there is. Something less biased.

The Ford government: an open door to graft and environmental desecration.

'Caledon resident Kathleen Wilson, who advocates for good local governance, said the MZOs in Caledon are benefiting individual developers, not residents. "We're not planning with purpose. We're planning because some developer bought some farmland for a really great price and they want to make a lot of money off of it."

Ontario backtracks on plan to include Greenbelt land in Caledon, Ont., zoning order amid pushback | CBC News

The Ontario government says protected Greenbelt land will not be developed as part of a new subdivision it's proposing to fast-track in the Town of Caledon, weeks after residents were warned the province planned to use its authority to make that happen.

What’s sickening about this, and at the core of it, is that plenty of land outside the greenbelt is sits waiting approved use for development. But Doug Ford ‘s developer friends know he is dumb enough and owned enough to let them buy protected land at fire-sale prices, then simply unprotect it for them and take the heat like a good political lackey.

Ontarians are right to be furious and to demand the giveaway be reversed.

Silvio De Gasperis, head of Tacc Developments, along with two other developers purchased a rural Hamilton property for $2.8 million on Oct. 6, 2022 — weeks after an industry event when a Ford government political staffer accepted requests from developers to open up protected Greenbelt land to build housing.
