Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced Tuesday the government is “exploring” putting environmental protections back on two parts of the Greenbelt in Ajax, Ont., which had been slated for development.
Investigators should be ‘exploring’ the corruption that lead to protections being removed.
Can they explore anything outside of an apology? Saint Brendan wasn’t all “sorry; I’ll go sail into the sunset and die … or find America”
Let’s ‘explore’ equal access to healthcare even for the poors and imm’grints.
Let’s ‘explore’ absolute lies in political adverts.
Let’s ‘explore’, for that matter, provincial govs and what they haven’t delivered or had any hope of doing so.
Oh. Those are all apology-based exploration efforts too. Dammit; how much do we actually suck?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced Tuesday the government is “exploring” putting environmental protections back on two parts of the Greenbelt in Ajax, Ont., which had been slated for development.
In a Tuesday morning statement, Ford said the sites — located at 765 and 775 Kingston Road East — had been listed for sale by the developers who own the land.
Ontario created the Greenbelt in 2005 to protect agricultural and environmentally sensitive lands in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area from development.
Earlier this month, the province’s auditor general released a scathing report that showed property developers with close ties to the government influenced the decision to open up the Greenbelt to their benefit.
The auditor general found that 98 per cent of that land is classified as the highest quality soil that produces cash crop production.
“To the other property owners, you’re on notice: if you don’t meet our government’s conditions, including showing real progress by year end with a plan to get shovels in the ground by 2025, your land will go back into the Greenbelt,” Ford said.
