“Mr. X” John Mutton sure seemed to know a lot about the upcoming housing legislation (Bill 23 - which cut most development fees).
This was from last summer, and the Bill was introduced on Oct 25th.
Integrity Commissioner report: typed notes indicate that direction to remove sites from the Greenbelt came directly from the Premier.
This is why investigations matter, and this is why this one is just getting started.
#GreenbeltScandal
This is almost 40 hectares of recently logged old-growth forest on a ridge in Ma'amtagila territory, so-called northern Vancouver Island.
Despite promising to save these forests, the @bcndp regularly permits their destruction.

"The (NDP Offical) Opposition believes that these facts constitute a troubling pattern of behaviour by this government, demonstrating a pervasive disregard for record-keeping & transparency, and perhaps even intentional attempts to avoid public scrutiny." https://t.co/yt20u3xlwh
Reports are confirming 80 dead, so far, and the @nytimes is reporting that a white settler couple successfully recovered a ROLEX watch from their Lāhainā home.
After Auditor General's scathing report it's a good time to repost my 3 part series examining the Greenbelt from the ground - what could be lost, how critics say it's not necessary to open up GB for housing and in Part 3, Doug Ford's response. #onpoli

The #Greenbelt scandal is the tip of the iceberg in a litany of dirty deals by the Ford Conservatives.
The Auditor General needs to investigate the $650 million taxpayer donation & and 95-year lease for the megaspa at #OntarioPlace#onpoli
This reaction to the Conservatives’ response to the Greenbelt Report…It’s what I’m hearing from Ontarians:
Outrage that Ford thinks Ontarians are “this stupid”
Disbelief that the Premier & Minister knew nothing
Anger that they are proceeding with this rigged plan
Exactly one year ago today, Premier Doug Ford hosted a $150/ticket stag and doe in his family backyard.
The Integrity Commissioner:
“The premier confirmed that those guests, identified as developers, are personal friends.”

Your @OntarioNDP Opposition House Leader @john_vanthof is formally requesting the Conservatives recall the Legislature immediately in order to reinstitute Greenbelt protections for the land in question.
#onpoli
Don’t buy what Conservatives are trying to sell you. The Greenbelt Grab isn’t about housing.
You don’t have to choose between one or the other.
We can have both.
All it takes is leadership that puts everyday people ahead of friends & insiders.

England and France have a mild climate compared to parts of Canada with a similar latitude. But that could change suddenly with the collapse of an Atlantic current that could happen soon, a new study suggests. https://t.co/lEVPtKr6b4
