Resign? These people should be jailed for the fraud and environmental destruction they've created all by themselves.

I’d settle for at least a trial or something

Of course, we should still treat them like human beings, but they should get absolutely no special treatment.

Rinse and repeat. The playbook never changes...

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Housing Minister Steve Clark's chief of staff has resigned after he was singled out by the Ontario auditor general for playing a key role in the province's controversial Greenbelt land swap.

"The Premier's office has accepted Ryan Amato's resignation as chief of staff to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, effective immediately," Ivana Yelich, deputy chief of staff to Premier Doug Ford, said in a statement Tuesday.

The resignation comes less than two weeks after the auditor general found the government's process for choosing sites to remove from protected Greenbelt land was influenced by a small group of well-connected developers with access to Amato.

More to come.

And now they’re going to do away with the whole crooked deal?

[–] cheery_coffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Nope. Full speed ahead, ethics and legality be damned!

Seriously? Wasn't this Ford's idea? Wasn't this all Ford's decision? Wasn't this Ford who did everything? Isn't this about Ford doing political favours for his buddies in real-estate?

Sounds seriously like scapegoating.

So this land was opened up in a sweetheart deal that was quite corrupt, did they take the land away from these developers or put it back under the greenbelt protection?
