Developers handing politicians envelopes of cash and police concluding there's nothing wrong with that.

"Police say they found no criminal wrongdoing and no charges will be laid after prominent Niagara-on-the-Lake land #developer Benny Marotta gave Cllr. Gary Burroughs an envelope containing $10,000 in cash."

In late January, Premier Ford's staff provided the #Ontario Integrity Commissioner with certain information about Ford's daughter's stag and doe and wedding.
However, Ford's staff did NOT disclose to Commissioner Wake, the names of the wedding guests including a lobbyist for a company that wants to open up more Greenbelt land to build homes, plus others who have government appointments or have interests in the government's business.

"The OPP say they are still reviewing whether or not to launch a criminal investigation into the Ford government's plan to develop parts of the Greenbelt. No decision has yet been made." @citynews
