Doug Ford accuses Toronto of mismanaging its finances in housing bill dispute

Mayor John Tory and Premier Doug Ford appear headed for a showdown over the financial impacts of Ontario’s new housing bill.

The premier, a former Toronto councillor, suggested the city has room in its budget to absorb any impacts of the legislation. The Ford government passed Bill 23 on Monday, with the stated aim of easing the housing crisis. Among other provisions, it reduces or eliminates development charges on some new developments, which the province says will lower prices for homebuyers, and encourage construction.

At a press conference Wednesday, Tory expressed optimism at Clark’s pledge, but said it was “not as clear and explicit” as the city needs. The mayor said he wanted the province to assure Toronto it will pay the “dollar for dollar” difference between whatever development charge revenue a project would have generated before Bill 23 was passed, and the fees it will generate after Bill 23.

So I guess Tory thought that he was one of 'Ford's people.'

Maybe Doug Ford of fordnation wants to give back his 16,000 dollar self granted bonus from this year to help out the cityoftoronto JohnTory

teach_n_travel You’ve got to love how Ford thinks he knows finances better than Tory.

'I'm the Mayor'. 'No, I'm the Mayor'. 'What are those strings?' 'Nevermind. Don't question the Marionette Master'.

Dysfunctional family city planning

Cities shouldn’t have to, whether they have the budget or not.

Here’s a story from exactly one year ago

Even a broken clock...

Ford is WEF SCUM !! WEF ARE TERRORISTS AND WILL BE EXTERMINATED AS SUCH

Agreed. Incompetent spend thrift TorontosMayor Tory mismanages everything except his daily Media Ops.

He's been saying that for decades, but never with any credibility. External auditors have found no fat to trim. Ford just wants to destroy.
