Standing room only yesterday evening in #Caledon . This is what happens when #Onpoli mayors take advantage of Strong Mayors Power c/o Doug Ford to reward housing speculators. But the community decides to pay attention. 🧵

“When governments constantly reverse course, that suggests poor or no consultation, a lack of forethought, botched communications internally or externally (or both), or incompetence.” — by David Moscrop #onpoli tvo.org/article/the-fo…

Ford govt officials, including an ex-Enbridge lobbyist who is now the minister of energy's chief of staff, were in contact with Enbridge as they worked to overturn an OEB ruling that would have reduced gas bills by ending a subsidy to Enbridge thenarwhal.ca/ontario-energy… #onpoli

Wilmot Landbank Scandal.
- Expropriating 770 Acres of Class 1 Farmland
- No Transparency or Consultation
- We lose 319 acres a day in Ontario

Why is the Ford Govt undermining the farming sector and encouraging back-room dealings with developers?
#FarmersFeedCities #onpoli

Thanks to all the volunteers who are gathering petition signatures to pause & reconsider the expropriation of 770 acres of Wilmot farmland.

As an industry that contributes $47 billion a year to the provincial economy, agriculture is a key economic engine for Ontario. #onpoli

I always enjoy listening & learning from farmers. Great discussion on the expropriation of Wilmot prime agricultural land 👏👏. We should be focused on supporting not undermining the sector.

Thank you to everyone who sent in petitions on Wilmot. The Ford gov't has limited our ability to bring our constituents' voices to Queen's Park. Democracy is inconvenient for Ford. Despite his barriers, we will continue to ensure your voices are heard! #onpoli

770 hectares of prime Ontario farmland have been confiscated by the gov't for industrial development. #Greenbelt scandal, the sequel?

Since there’s never been public consultation, I decided to hold one. Join me for a special town hall.
