I'm sure that Premier Ford hopes no one is monitoring his ongoing corruption and his destruction of much-needed Greenbelt land. Star readers puncture that illusion.
Ford on defensive over probe
Doug Ford criticizes auditor general over Greenbelt investigation, July 13
Dear Doug Ford, please don’t mistake the electorate’s lack of attention for stupidity. As you very well know, many people are apathetic and do not pay attention to politics. However, we Ontarians are not stupid when confronted with the facts concerning your developer friends benefitting from your decision to open up the Greenbelt. People are well aware that if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and, in this case, smells like a duck, it most certainly is a duck. All your “friends and folks” rhetoric changes nothing and only reinforces the mistrust that we have for you and your buddies.
As Ontario’s auditor general continues her “value-for-money” audit into the Progressive Conservative government’s decision to open up 7,400 acres of the Greenbelt, let’s remember: Premier Doug Ford’s developer buddies benefited from the Greenbelt land swap. Now, Michael Rice and Silvio De Gasperis are going to court separately in the hope of not having to testify under oath and providing the additional records the auditor general wants. If everything is so squeaky clean, why are Ford’s buddies going to court? This is only the tip of the iceberg. The full story must be allowed to come out.
Ford says he hopes to collaborate with mayor, July 13
So, Premier Doug Ford expects Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow to collaborate with him. With whom did Ford collaborate when he reduced the size of Toronto’s council? With whom did Ford collaborate when he changed the Greenbelt boundaries? With whom did Ford collaborate regarding Highway 413? With whom did Ford collaborate when he decided to move the science centre? With whom did Ford collaborate when he awarded the spa contract on Ontario Place grounds? With whom did Ford collaborate with when . . . Ford wants others to collaborate with him but when it is time for him to collaborate with others, there appears to be a barrier.
Doug Ford's legacy of selling out Ontarians will never be forgotten.
Nothing gives you more confidence in the premier than reading that two developers with suspicious land purchase patterns just before the boundaries of the Greenbelt were changed are lawyering up before an Auditor-General's inquiry.
