Ford expressed concern Tuesday that a company called Buena Vista Development is trying to sell 765 and 775 Kingston Road East in Ajax.

Those are two of the “sites that were selected as part of the land swap to build at least 50,000 new homes and grow the size of the Greenbelt,” the premier said in a statement.

Takes public land

Gives it to large land developers

Large land developers try to flip and rezone land for profit rather than do as desired by government

It's almost as if large corporations and their endless pursuit for profit can't be trusted.

If only he could have seen this coming...

You think he didn't know what they really had in mind? He's just lying to cover his ass now that he's been caught.

Oh, he entirely knew. The RCs got involved so it's time to start pointing fingers

Its all going to plan! This auditor's report is just a setback. Do a little dance of contrition, MAYBE make a head or two roll and then it's back to full steam ahead, boys!

None of this should come as a surprise. I'd be surprised if most Ontarians cared enough to vote the guy out.
