Internal emails shed new light on a flurry of developer requests and provincial approvals in #Caledon: the #GreenbeltScandal continues...

The Trillium has new reporting on:

• "should not proceed" recommendations being overturned for party donors
• plans for #Highway413 being used to support rezoning orders, including one for 200 hectares of "prime agricultural" land

Ford and his staffers have... all denied knowing how the sites were selected.

Ted McMeekin, a former housing minister under Premier Kathleen Wynne's government, says... "It is inconceivable to me that Ford… wasn't aware of what was happening."

Jack Dorsey enthusiastically co-signed the deal that betrayed 200 million Twitter users and handed their accounts over to a fucking right wing egomaniacal billionaire. You’ll have to excuse me if I’m not eager to sign up for another one of this dude’s schemes.
