.@City_of_Vaughan Council approved zoning enabling development on land protected since 1990, was a seminal court case establishing case law for "conservation of land" under S. 28 of the CAA
Justified b/c @ONtransport Highway 427 construction damaged natural heritage
1/5 ImageImage
No history in the staff report
Spoke to ensure history was known
To ask what will happen if #Highway413 is built; to Nashville Conservation Reserve, 80 tributaries & streams crossed?
Council spent more time, had more ?'s & interest in the pickleball update 2/5
.@realindajackson was Chair, was dismissive said it was @TRCA_HQ issue, applications are 30yo
She's @City_of_Vaughan's TRCA representative?!

Funny cause I've seen her advocate to keep 30yo applications/tribunal cases on the #Greenbelt & Oak Ridges Moraine alive... 3/5

BREAKING: Vaughan Developer Allegedly Accused of Bank Fraud in Stouffville Townhome Project.

Social media chatter in recent days has revealed a possible bank fraud case involving the owners of @StateviewHomes, a residential real estate developer based in #Vaughan with a specific
focus on their townhome project "Elm & Co" located in Stouffville, Ontario. The three owners of Stateview Homes, identified as Dino, Carlo and Daniel Taurasi, have been allegedly accused of fraudulent activity by @TD_Canada. (check screenshots as proof in the end)
TD Bank has reportedly caught them in the act of check kiting, a type of check fraud. As a result, TD Bank has placed a $37 million lien on all of Stateview Homes' properties, including their personal homes, offices, and ongoing projects, including Elm & Co.

#Vaughan Block 41 Public Meeting 7pm. Subject of a #Greenbelt removal & downgrading of #Greenbelt protection from prime agricultural to rural to allow active urban parks (#ROPA7)
It's a mess. 1/x

First figure is the Block Plan as submitted by the Landowners Group. It's not in compliance with the PPS, Greenbelt Plan, CAA.
The second figure is the Secondary Plan approved by Council in 2019, reaffirmed by the tribunal approval in 2021 (OPA 50) 2/x
omb.gov.on.ca/e-decisions/pl…
Landowners never had any attention of complying w/ the Secondary Plan as approved by Council & reaffirmed by 2021 tribunal decision. Always planned illegal #Greenbelt parks...As is evident by this 2017 figure 3/x

Voting on 2051 Official Plan now, looks as though it will include 250Ha of Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) #Greenbelt land in #Vaughan...they are talking now about splicing it out & voting on it in parts? Staff clearly said can't sign off if it includes ORM land...1/x Image
Chair Emmerson who has failed to call motions out of order says on the whole the plan should be supported and it's only a little bit of the Oak Ridges Moraine here and there, not a precedent setting vote @YorkRegionGovt Code of Conduct 2/x
The poor Clerk is being asked to splice Official Plan apart so @YorkRegionGovt Council members can support the bits & pieces...It's crazy. So messy! It all stems from motions brought forward by politicians that should have been called our of order 3/x

@ONgov recently erected #Highway413 billboards at Hwy 10 & Old School Rd. Timed well w/ writ dropping & #OntarioBudget2022.

Argo owns land on SW corner.

Why here @ONtransport @C_Mulroney? 1/4

caledon.ca/en/town-servic…
Developable land owned by Argo in #Vaughan preserved, #Stopthe413 preferred route moved N destroying Nashville Conservation Reserve.

How land got into urban boundary when it should’ve been frozen in #Highway413 study area is a mystery @ONtransport? 2/4

Argo owns lands rezoned by @SteveClarkPC via #MZO 171/21
Justified b/c of the 👻 #Bolton Go Line & Humber Go Station 🚉 that aren’t a @Metrolinx priority.

By approving @ONmunicipal sided w/ @TownofCaledon dismissing @regionofpeel’s objections.

Here is another powerful lobbyist that we haven't heard about for #StopThe413. @LIUNA Joseph Mancinelli. Did you know that LIUNA invests their pension with Fengate Asset Management who specializes in investing in P3 infrastructure projects & real estate?
Fengate & LIUNA invested in the Walmart Distribution Facility in #Vaughan that needed an #MZO only to rezone 4 acres of #wetland to allow for 200 tractor trailer parking spots and is located just south of where the proposed #Highway413 will end. fengate.com/blog/2020/09/1…
Fengate invested in the controversial massive, ill suited #LakeSimcoe Friday Harbour Project. fengate.com/blog/2017/07/2…

Attack on #YorkRegion's #Greenbelt ROPA 7 requests portions #Greenbelt prime agr. to be re-designated to rural in #Markham #Vaughan. Lipstick on a pig. ROPA 2, ROPA 3 brought lands into urban boundary & areas subject to ROPA 7 protected as Regional Greenlands System 1/x ROPA 2 Subject LandsROPA 3 Subject LandsROPA 7 Subject Lands
Vaughan, Markham & York Region staff don't support ROPA 7 b/c it's premature. Areas called 'Greenbelt Fingers' part of ongoing Policy Direction review for #YorkRegion's #OfficialPlan2051. About protection of watersheds, habitat connectivity & corridors, urban agr. 2/x
Applicant is over simplifying the request. Rural recreational uses are not well defined, for eg. a golf course could be allowed. Explained well in #Markham's Staff Report 3/x

This morning, my team and I installed the first lawn sign of this 2018 election campaign in Vaughan—Woodbridge!

I have been so lucky to reside in Vaughan for many years with my family. When I consider the things that we are investing in, I personally think about my daughters and other Vaughan families that I have been so honoured to represent.
I want to make sure they have the same degree of opportunity, if not more than I had growing up. The truth of the matter is that we have delivered positive results by listening to the community and by working together.
