Where do Ontario’s parties stand on the Greenbelt as 10-year review approaches?
When the Greenbelt was first created by the former Liberal government in 2005, the legislation mandated a review of the land every decade.

The biggest threat in the #Ontario election isn’t Donald Trump, it’s voter disengagement https://theconversation.com/the-biggest-threat-in-the-ontario-election-isnt-donald-trump-its-voter-disengagement-249528
The ConversationThe biggest threat in the Ontario election isn’t Donald Trump, it’s voter disengagementThree years ago, Ontario’s Doug Ford won an overwhelming majority government on the basis of the ballots of less than 18 per cent of the province’s eligible voters. Are voters still disengaged?
Doug Ford's answer at Monday's Ontario Leaders debate to the question "would you build on the Greenbelt" was zig-zaggedy AF:
"I think I was pretty clear. I said I was and then I wasn't and then I went ahead and did it. But in saying that, I apologized to the people. Unlike any of you, when you do something wrong, you don't apologize. I apologized to the people, we're moving forward, we're building homes."

@gemelliz Yes, but #DougFord deserves to lose the election anyway. #BikeLanes, #GreenBelt, #RebateCheques #HealthCare

Reason #30 why #FordMustGo
Surprise! Ford's 2nd term hasn't been much of an improvement in protecting the #Environment. His government has been responsible for a looming energy supply crisis leading to a steep increase in natural gas use, announced development of the #Greenbelt (then reversed), reduced protection for wetlands, removing bike lanes, and suggested dumping sewage into Lake Simcoe instead of building a new treatment facility.

@CTHW @CanadianCrone @lastoneout @zenheathen @gemelliz
Dougie's comment on the news was priceless. He denies any knowledge of the #Greenbelt scandal, and yet, somehow, that makes him and his party a viable option on the ballot!?
It don't matter WHO in his government orchestrated and facilitated the back door dealings, the whole lot of them have been at the controls 6 years too long.

The Toronto Star has an article, but it's behind a paywall:
Toronto Star · The former Ford government staffer at the heart of the Greenbelt scandal has been accused of promising to help developer for money
Former Ford staffers deny accusation of fraud over alleged agreement to rezone land using ‘backchannel contacts’ — Amato and Raj are sued by property owners who they'd promised to deliver rezoning in exchange for cash
(can't find another source for this, almost too good to be true. "I bribed you but you didn't deliver, so now I'm suing you" is the most Ontario Politics thing ever)
The Trillium · Former Ford staffers deny accusation of fraud over alleged agreement to rezone land using ‘backchannel contacts’Both men — the so-called 'driving force' behind the Greenbelt scandal and a staffer on Ford’s re-election campaign — are being sued for fraudulent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, conspiracy and other claims

@LALegault Ergo, we could call them greedy pigs if we proved things like #negligence in #ltc, or #corruption in things like the #greenbelt or #thermespa ?
Or they’re aligned with mango mussolini, and we shouldn’t question their leadership, or we’ll wind up with problems?
Politics are fascinating because they are all about the bacon, aren’t they?
One single bed. That’s what they are bragging about.
While ER’s are shuttering and #loblaws, #ltc, the #greenbelt and #thermespa are going down.
Yes, Doug, lets have that #election. As you’re an “unwavering trump supporter”, maybe its prime time we do.

Chris Packham: Our #GreenBelt and green spaces are officially up for grabs.
The Government has said #wildlife should be protected, but 'not at the expense of #building the homes the country needs'.
Yet there are far more empty #homes and properties in the UK than the Government claims it needs to build.
And the Government plans to build some of these #houses - and much more - on our Green Belt and #GreenSpaces.

Bill 212, Hwy. 413 Traffic Act 'set dangerous precedent': Ontario Nature
"Falsely presented as an effort to reduce congestion in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), these proposals would override municipal bylaws, affect property rights, threaten the Greenbelt and vital farmland, and destroy significant natural areas like the Holland Marsh."
