@john_recker@_llebrun@MeTheCookieLady@CBCNews Thanks for covering this. The outcome is of great interest - not just for Pickering residents but for other Councils that may take similar actions against a fellow Councillor.
Why do you not mention Councillors Butt and Pickles. They do not support an airport in Pickering. Every Councillor in Pickering opposes an unneeded airport. They are fighting for the future of the environment. #cityofpickering

Nowhere is the "gatekeeping" more evident than in Pickering, dashing the dreams of many young people from having a single family home with a backyard. City Councilors Brenner, Nagy, and Cook often appear to serve no purpose but as gatekeepers. There are local organizations such as "Stop sprawl Durham" and "Land over Landings" whos sole purpose is gatekeeping, and which have the ears of these politicians. The disservice these elements are doing to the local and larger economy should become known.

@MayorKevinAshe On your first day in office YOU asked the province to repeal the Duffin Roughe Agricultural Act in order to develop the Greenbelt. Premier Ford had the humility to accept that he was wrong. I wish you would do the same.
The awkward applause from caucus at the end tells it all. The Greenbelt fight is over but the investigations are just getting started. This government is in trouble. Ford’s MPPs will be held to account for supporting Ford’s “mistake”
#onpoli
watching the press conference and having watched all the Greenbelt ones of the Premier, there isn’t that same pep in his step and that typical Ford charisma is lacking
credit to all journalists who covered the Greenbelt scandal — and especially to my colleagues @ColinDMello and @isaaccallan. Relentless reporting and went down many avenues to get original reporting including mandate letters.
true public service journalism.
BREAKING:
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government is reversing its Greenbelt land swap deal. He apologizes to Ontarians and says he broke his promise.
