#ONpoli

LCBO strategy for Carmine Nigro:

3) Put booze in corner stores and cannabis in private stores

The wedding photographer captured lots of photos showing Carmine Nigro with a seat at Doug Ford's table (with Cortellucci and Madeleine Bodenstein) at the reception, and right in front of Ron Taverner at the ceremony.

And, remember how unions like LiUNA magically supported Doug Ford in the last election?

Carmine Nigro's CRAFT Development Group is partnered with LiUNA on the ORCA condo project (on the land/airspace John Tory wanted to take for raildeck park).

Carmine Nigro is also a major donor to the Ontario PC Party, and was vice-chairman of the Ontario PC Party's fundraising arm since 2017.

And, he just happened to hear at an event that the position of LCBO Chairman was open and he just happened to see it on the website? ImageImageImageImage
#ONpoli

This is very interesting: in April 2019 (during committee meeting to appoint him as LCBO Chairman) Carmine Nigro claimed to have NEVER socialized with Doug Ford!

And then a couple of years later he was sitting at the Premier's table at his daughter's wedding reception? Image
#ONpoli

More amazing coincidences... CRAFT Development Corporation (Carmine Nigro's company) works with Loblaws, Walmart, and Shoppers Drug Mart.

Those just happen to be Doug Ford's favourite businesses. Image
#ONpoli

This is wild... Carmine Nigro also helped launch the LeBron James Lobos 1707 tequila at the LCBO???

When you want an awesome launch party, you invite LeBron... Drake... and Carmine Nigro. ImageImage
Oh, and in case it wasn't clear: Carmine Nigro's company was the one who killed the Raildeck Park proposal from the city...

People in Toronto are trying to save Rail Deck Park from becoming condos blogto.com/real-estate-to…
#ONpoli

But wait - there's MORE!!!

Seems like another person with the name Nigro was also involved in fundraising for Carmine Nigro and the Ontario PC Party (RevGen Professional Fundraising is the company)... and Doug Ford hired her to handle his patronage appointments?!?!?!? Image
#ONpoli

So, unless I'm missing something: on top of ALL these other corrupt connections - Doug Ford has the daughter/relative of Carmine Nigro working for him?
#ONpoli #TOpoli

Another one:
Carmine Nigro donated to Doug Ford’s 2014 mayoral campaign

When asked why he needs to open up the Greenbelt for developers, Doug Ford lies his face off like no politician I’ve ever seen!!!

(Thread 🧵 )
1) "This so-called Greenbelt"

Doug Ford is pretending like the Liberal government randomly chose 2 Million acres of land and slapped a Greenbelt label on it with no actual purpose to the specific areas chosen.

This is false. It took years to sort out. Image
2) "They changed it 17 times to suit their developer buddies"

There were small adjustments, but those added up to ONLY 370 acres (out of 2 Million!). One example was 5 acres for a power plant. Another was where half of an old building was on Greenbelt and half wasn't. Image

Amazing how Canada's media will immediately assume every possibly Trudeau connection in the world is sending him money, but have entirely moved on from Doug Ford stories where billionaire developers actually gave his family envelopes of money.
Mary Ng gives friend a $17,000 contract:
RESIGN IMMEDIATELY

Doug Ford gives friend and DECO Customer Apollo Health & Beauty $62,117,432 in PPE contracts:
CRICKETS Image
Trudeau vacations with family friend and is cleared by ethics commissioner beforehand:
SCANDAL

Ford and Lecce have Florida vacation with De Gasperis / Ford invites Cortellucci family to Stag and Doe & wedding, doesn't clear beforehand:

BREAKING:

Kinga Surma announces that she and Doug Ford have been working on a plan to move the animals from the Toronto Zoo into Riverdale Farm to allow developers to build condos with Ana Bailao.

The Ontario Line will also go there now, for some reason. ImageImage

BREAKING:

Kinga Surma announces that she, Ana Bailao, and Doug Ford have been working on a plan to move all of the bodies from Mount Pleasant Cemetery to a new underwater Therme Mausoleum at Ontario Place and build 100,000 condos on the cemetery property. Image
#TOpoli #ONpoli

BREAKING:

Kinga Surma, Ana Bailao, and Doug Ford announce yet another amazing plan. They will be digging up Roy Thomson Hall and porting the entire building over to the middle of the Woodbine Racetrack. The Ontario Line will also go here now, because why not? Image

So, to recap:
- Toronto's Downtown Relief Line planned from Danforth south
- Doug Ford replaces with Ontario Line, extends to Science Centre and Exhibition
- Ford demolishing the Science Centre, meaning billions in transit would be built for a few condos???
#ONpoli #TOpoli

If Kathleen Wynne was run out of town over $230M in costs to move 2 gas plants... why on earth hasn't Doug Ford been run out of town for BILLIONS in ridiculous waste on bad transit plans?
#ONpoli #TOpoli

Doug Ford is spending $10B to $20B on a subway to NOWHERE!

This is quite simply the most wasteful spending in the history of Ontario.
