Would that not be the right thing to do?

If a politician ever did "the right thing" for the people they server, they would be out of office so fast it would make their head spin.
 
Always has been corruption, always will be corruption. Just build the damn homes.

I read we are bringing in 2.5% of our national population yearly (immigrants) and nation-wide house building was the lowest ever last year. Fuckin boggle.

My recommendation to Doug....put the greenbelt changes on hold or better yet cancel them outright. The developers in question can try their hands at farming.

It will never happen, BUT if it was just some staffer that did all this....shouldn't the corruption be reversed or put on hold pending years of investigations? Would that not be the right thing to do?

lol

A few years back, when the greenbelt was first sprinkled with holy water a friend in the Uxbridge area was at a swanky do thanks to family connections. There were a number of developers there and he asked what they were going to do since the area was getting stitched up for noble purposes.

I noticed a number of people commented on backmarkerducati's post with laughter. The same response my friend got from the developers for his comment. They just laughed. Now they may be smirking and snickering to the tinkle of champagne glasses as the delays make the prices and profits rise.

If the staffer got 20+ years in prison I wonder how chatty they would become, naming names etc.

Of course the people running the trial could likely be taking advantage of the corruption and would make sure the penalty would be light enough to discourage the chatting. A suitable reward would be awarded when memories have faded, maybe a nice consulting gig for some ambiguous project.

Considering it was a Liberal government at the time demonstrates that the corruption in this province runs beyond party lines.
 
In the cases of bribery or self enrichment, I wonder about the money trail that would be largely invisible. If the stakes are in the billions it isn't as simple as slipping an inspector an envelope with a grand in it to OK a shady installation.

There are some movies about gangsters fixing fights for the gambling take. A manager is paid $5000 to influence the outcome but the guy that's supposed to win has a glass jaw and drops like a rock in the first round.

The mob isn't interested in getting their $5000 back from the manager nearly as much as getting compensation for the millions in lost bets.

Clark's replacement was trying to non-explain why the land was needed when the formal extensive report said it wasn't.

We don't need the number of houses they claim we do, let alone ones on those particular parcels of the Greenbelt they claim. Bottom line, it has nothing to do with (economical) roofs over heads. It's all about inflated lot + hou$e price$ in desired locations.

Greenbelt developers invite Ford to 4am "No Hard Feelings!" party at the docks

QUEEN'S PARK - Following the surprise announcement that he will return all recently released lands back to the Greenbelt, Premier Doug Ford announced that the developers who purchased the land have invited him to a "We're Not Mad At All" party in the middle of the night down at the Toronto docks.

Now if we could get the Liberals onboard to do the same.
