I hope this didn’t go threw? They said on cp24 these developers get the land for less then a 1/3. For a hospital ya ok still Greed

I wonder what Důg will say? He will probably just spit out another lie.

So Ontario is going to build build build for foreigners foreigners foreigners. Way to go fordnation Taleeb must be proud

Sounds about white

Get this HOG out of office immediately!

The weird thing is I have watched Doug Ford over the last four years and I can’t think of any time that CTV has even so much and said his name on the evening news or the morning shows or mentioned anything he has gotten away with, literally nothing on CTV News.

I guess they should have bought it first.

Not a 'controversy.' It's an out and out scandal. Please report on it as such.

It is crystal clear that Ford lies like a rug, has no concern for ANY citizen except for his developer friends. What are we ontario citizens going to do about it? Reach out to your MPPs, respond to the Ontario municipal housing proposals before December 4th, the deadline!!

😡 angry face 😡

office of the integrity commissioner Ontario?

This should be criminal.

Yet “another” coincidence…hmmm, it’s very difficult to make so many coincidences in such a short period of time. That takes a lot of careful scheming, I mean, “planning”…😎

It’s all about money. Crass.

FOR THE PEOPLE!!

The comments are a thing of beauty. Let’s all make Doug Ford very uncomfortable over the next 3 1/2 years. fordnation corruption incompetent

jdavidson2017 Doug Fords only goal for the next 4 years with his majority government is to make himself richer. He will do everything to make himself & his donors fatten their bank accounts. He knows we’re stuck with him, he won’t run again, he’ll have all the $ he wants by the next election.

Don't believe fordnation dealing with any issue , the mandates , ran from the Truckers and crawled under a rock, why did I vote for a leader who is really a gear in a machine he answers to ?

Corrupt government

Right to our face!

This whole Green belt issue stinks

I once hoped Trudeau would be denied by a million idjits in Toronto, but oh well.... What's your point, idjits?

With all his 'stay in your lane' talk, he is only interested in donor asphalt. Newflash: BTW re the AG report - it is HER LANE Doug!

Why does mafia thugs come to mind when I see this picture?

How big was the envelope fordnation ? Huh?

I’m conservative but I hate Doug ford

Look into Ford’s finances, he must be getting massive kickbacks.

Who pockets were lined with $$$.

Ford is for himself and the conservative party. They are not for the working or low income Canadians.

.fordnation FORDmustRESIGN Investigate GreenbeltGate

Nothing to see here folks

Why don’t you ever do stories on Trudeau’s corruption? Oh yeah your bought and paid by the communist party….. sorry liberals

Didn’t the liberals build on the greenbelt 17 time under the last government

Perhaps if the federal government stopped importing 500,000 new immigrants every year we wouldn’t need to develop the Greenbelt

A special deal for Doug’s friends.

I didn’t even vote for him but now I will. Clearly he’s on to something if Bell Canada hates him this much

FordNation is a lying grifter

My my. When does a full investigation start ? CBCTheNational ColinDMello Travisdhanraj CHCHTV CP24 ConsumerSOS

perfectrose2011 Our Conservative government who said they wouldn’t touch the green belt are reneging on their promise. Lots of anger and demonstrations because of it. I hope it’s enough to stop this nonsense.

Thick as thieves !!

I’m sorry

Corruption

so another lie, the one about building hospitals and more beds, all a lie?

So this was the dog whistle to developers: FORDmustRESIGN FordFailedThePeople FordFailedOntario FORDisCORRUPT

Nice try. Fake news.

Thinking about the housing crisis.

Not green belt land then

This must be stopped! Only greed because the land is 1/4 of the price! Steven Da Luca built his inground pool on green belt land!

fordnation is not “for the people”. His government has no interest in building the Province for the good of the population … you know, schools and hospitals … he’s interested in profits for those he was bought and paid for.

Ford is a lying sack of 💩

Dude gives zero fucks about Ontario. This build is for his buddies. Kids are sick and hospitals are crumbling and he sleeps at night.

That's another one on the Ford government

They wouldn't have been able to get nurses for it anyways

Fordnation is a lying monster!

Doug has made a very big mistake this time. Police investigation needed.

krismeloche that only puts another nail in the grift coffin

Well it's a good thing that there's lots of the green belt to go around for every developer

'Do you see any kickbacks in my hands? These hands, right here' fordnation

On the news evidence shows 80m was the purchase price

kernelken2 A hospital is better land usage than a road to no where that nobody wants or needs. SaveTheGreenbelt ontario

Par for the course with the corrupt fordnation and SteveClarkPC Supporting Healthcare in Ontario? No. Supporting developer pals in Ontario? Oh yeah baby! Mmmm, cash cash cash. fordsucks onpoli

The fordnation corruption continues

Way to go fordnation You make the $$$$$$ and ruin our Greenbelt.

Time for Ontarians to go back to the Polls, he has broken his promises, make the people in power accountable!!

No greenbelt must preserve doug ford is selling this land because of kick back from developer

Did the hospital donate to fordnation campaign ? Then, no.

So we can use that land for other things, just not houses? LOL

“Had hoped to build a new hospital” 😂😂. CTV going the extra mile to push a political narrative

In a Terrorist manner theJagmeetSingh highjacked healthcare funding for his own WOKE left NDP priorities of dental care. No Provincial Consultation Trudeau with the barrels of NON CONFIDENCE pointing at him disregards the needs of healthcare opting for his Political Survival

FordFailedThePeople FORDmustRESIGN FordFailedOntario DougFordIsALiar DougFordIsCorrupt

Does anyone really believe the average citizen of Ontario will be able to afford these houses?

Where is our food to be grown?

Keep digging….

So much corruption. So few brains. FORDmustRESIGN

this isn't a controversy...this is criminal. fordnation is ruining everything generations of Ontarians have payed for (taxes for services) and worked to protect (environment. HandsofftheGreenbelt GeneralstrikeON Unite onpoli

krismeloche Corruption maybe? fordnation OntarioPCParty PCPressOffice

Don't municipalities have the power of expropriation?

No corruption going on here, Folks!

When did Towns and Townships start building critical infrastructure?

Why isn’t anyone investigating Ford? He has to be put in his place. Behind bars is where he belongs.

DougisCorrupt

Looks suspicious to me !

Oh well.

Corrupt

Kara_Gibbons1 Wonder why corrupt AF dougfraud has become a millionaire since being premier.

Right there…make it know everywhere…we need hospitals!

FORDmustRESIGN FORDisCORRUPT

More criminal activity?

When are the police going to get involved with this agenda?

Doug Ford doesn't look after Ontarian's. He looks after himself. Pathetic. Doug Ford needs to go.

TaleFinn

Def not his brother

fordnation is not a 'man of the people'. Don't be taken in by his golly gee act;he's the stereotypical rich guy who rubs shoulders with other rich guys so they can keep making more money. Doug Ford is a bad guy, a very bad guy.

DOUG FORD HAD THIS PLANNED BEFORE HIS RE-ELECTION AGAIN HES LYING 🤥

Glorified homeowners association. And a way to stagnate Ontarios economy. Socialism like Algae only lives in scummy stagnant environments. A lush healthy ecosystem Tamps down this invasive destruction.

Doug Ford was paid good money to sell our land.

khloekardashian I have a story of a life time for you. My husband died for 11 mins due to hospital error. If you could kindly contact me it would be appreciated!

Guess we need housing for the expected immigrants but we won’t need a hospital for them!
