I’ve heard a few people say over the past few months, “do Mayor’s even matter, when you have a hole in the budget as big as we do, isn’t the job to lobby other governments.” Let’s connect some dots: - appointment of a pro-transit Budget Chief, @shelleycarroll - announcement of new revenue tools last week - TTC service level cuts reversal after decades of service reductions in many areas Mayors matter.

#GreenbeltGrab This was never about homes. This is a land play. A modern day gold rush, enabled by the rule bending of a government entrusted with protection of our farmland and drinking water. The false outrage in this statement is a tell. #GreenbeltScandal

Cool cool Doug Ford gave away our Greenbelt right from under our noses to a China-based investor who has no experience building housing. John Dong said the real-estate listing was to help find a "joint-venture partner with the experience necessary to help us develop the property." Part of the due diligence process that Planners go through when assessing a rezoning application is to consider the capacity of the developer to deliver the project as stated. But then again, there was no due diligence process here, was there? This is why we have rules and regulations. #GreenbeltScandal thestar.com/politics/provinc… via @torontostar
