This map showing the 413 route and the Greenbelt is all you need to know about why Doug Ford wants to separate Brampton and Caledon from Mississauga... Image
#ONpoli

To summarize:

Patrick Brown is compliant - he will do whatever Ford wants.

Bonnie Crombie is not - she actually pushes back against Ford.

Doug Ford wants to ram through his Hwy 413 plans and carve out Greenbelt land for his developer buddies as quickly as possible.
The land Ford needs for the 413 is mostly in Caledon and Brampton (only a very small piece on the southwest end of the 413 route is in Halton).

And - just look at the sheer size of Caledon vs. Brampton vs. Mississauga... and how much is developed vs. undeveloped. Image
Also worth noting that Patrick Brown did NOT support the full 413 plan - and called for a simpler "urban boulevard" type of road instead.

Mayor Patrick Brown believes urban boulevard in Brampton could be reasonable alternative to new highway | inBrampton insauga.com/mayor-patrick-…

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.

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.

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.
