Doug Ford’s decision to carve up the Greenbelt isn’t about building affordable housing.
He’s doing it so that a handful of developers – who have given him almost $600,000 in donations – can make tens of millions in profit.

Here’s what we know:
1. At least six developers spent $278 million to buy protected Greenbelt land.
2. They gave almost $600,000 in donations to the Conservatives.
3. Now, Ford’s opening up the Greenbelt for development.
But we’re supposed to believe no one was tipped off.
