The origins of the #Greenbelt debacle? Tim Gray reminds us that in 2018

#DougFord was elected with the aggressive and pervasive support of #OntarioProud's online attack machine

Ontario Proud was not funded by grassroots supporters, as was claimed during the election, but rather by a consortium of suburban sprawl developers... the biggest donor being #MattamyHomes

In total, developers contributed $500,000

Mutton said "most developers that I know don’t build", they just resell rezoned land.

#MZOs have proliferated under the #DougFord government. With the stroke of a pen, developers can bypass lengthy planning processes and see a dramatic increase in the value of their lands. Critics say the seemingly unrestrained issuance of MZOs has allowed those with connections to exploit their access for private gain
