@CanadianCrone

Haven't heard yet.. Govt likely won't accept the ruling given their past history..
“The [Ford] government was upset that they didn’t get their way with the earlier court judgement [Bill 254] and decided to use the nuclear option [notwithstanding clause] to silence potential critics.."

@gemelliz Of course The #FordGoverment will appeal. #DoFo has mastered #tfg tactics of deny, delay, deny, delay …..ad nauseam . . Meanwhile with a majority govt, he could care less. Well at least the 18% of eligible voters who voted in his majority will be happy. The province that was once a shining beacon is becoming an inner city #joke. The #Greenbelt is being raffled off for the highest #Grift. #OntarioPlace is now Austrian. #CdnMedia oh look, belly lint
