The legislation—also known as Bill 23 or the “More Homes Built Faster Act”—was first proposed by the Ford governmentand has since been criticized for leaving municipalities short billions of dollars.
In Toronto alone, the loss of development charges could result in a revenue loss of about $230 million, according to a staff report presented to city council. “And the part of it that is so frustrating for me is that those capital projects relate to expanding the sewer pipe to accommodate those buildings, or the transit that is going to be needed to serve those buildings or the daycare that is going to be needed to look after kids who move into those buildings.”
Ontario interim Liberal Leader John Fraser said he was surprised to see a conservative government giving “a standing ovation for raising people’s taxes.” The province is currently undergoing a 30-day consultation process to remove about 7,400 acres from the Greenbelt in order to accommodate the building of more homes. The government has also said it will add an additional 9,400 acres to the Greenbelt—although it is unclear where this will be.
That’s your tweet? How about Ford goes back on years of promises Greenbelt wouldn’t be touched so rich land developers can get richer. This will not solve the housing crisis! FORDmustRESIGN
Kickbacks for Ford..

I guess the cheques cleared
1.5 million homes and yet you can't build 1 streetcar line in 30 years. Finch and 400 has also been a disaster. You might build 1,500 homes in 10 years. Put a counter on your website to show the number of houses built.
As a person who has been waiting over 6 months to build on my own land, I am open to anything that will speed things along. Wait times are unacceptable
This is going to cost every household (and community) instead of the developers, who are going to pocket more money. It is time for a generalstrike in Ontario. We have to STOP the fordnation gravy train.
You will NOT TOUCH THE GREENBELT, MILLIONS WILL BE AT YOUR HOUSE PROTESTING 😜😜😜WAIT FOR IT DOUGIE WE WILL INVADE YOUR PROPERTY 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
The Ontario government has passed housing legislation that overrides some municipal zoning laws and eliminates some development fees in an effort to follow through on the province’s goal of building 1.5 million homes.
Dougies friends in the real estate business can’t wait! FollowTheMoney
Canada has opened its doors over the coming years to literal millions of skilled migrants yet they are only just “sorting out the housing” it’s no wonder there a shortage across the province of ON and nationwide.
And will cost taxpayers billions in lost development fees that are used for building roads, sewers, and infrastructure for those homes...but Dough Fraud is 'for the people' right?
