Ontario’s Auditor General has confirmed what we suspected: that Doug Ford’s government effectively redrew the map of the province, opening up thousands of acres of land for development, based largely on solicitations made at a party. It just wasn’t the party we thought.

 

Either way, it could make for an entertaining movie.

 

Hosts: Allison Smith and Jonathan Goldsbie
