Taking on the Conservatives’ corruption

New information shows Ford’s fingerprints all over the Greenbelt corruption scandal

New documents from the Freedom of Information request by Environmental Defense and Ecojustice reveal that the Ford government staff directed changes to urban boundaries expansions at the request of land speculators.

“Again and again Ford’s government is taking orders from their wealthy land speculator friends and serving up Ontario’s precious agricultural and ecological land up on a silver platter. This government is under criminal investigation by the RCMP for their corrupt Greenbelt Grab – and all roads seem to lead to the Premier’s office,” said Leader Marit Stiles.

“Mr. Ford’s fingerprints are all over these dirty deals, and he needs to answer for this immediately. And I think most troubling of all – it shows that instead of helping people during the housing crisis, this government was making it worse – fueling rampant land speculation, which drives the cost of housing up and up and up – seemingly just to line the pockets of a select few of their friends.”

Your Official Opposition will keep shining light in all the dark corners of this government corruption scandal until all trust, accountability and integrity are restored to Queen’s Park.
