![]() | Beaten black and fukkin blue, Doug Ford announced his government will “re-evaluate” the Greenbelt land steal.
It will be one of the first tasks for new Housing Minister Paul Calandra, who replaces the disgraced Steve Clark. "There's going to be a complete review from top to bottom and they're gonna have to stand on their own merit. And it's not just the 14 lands, it's gonna be the seven or 800 lands right across the board,” Ford babbled at reporters today.

Ford vows that neither he nor his Housing Minister Steve Clark will resign, nor will there be any rollbacks on their Greenbelt Fraud. Ontario citizens may kiss his sweaty, dirty, fat asshole (_*_). | Burgers, hot dogs, carnival rides and protesters roasting Doug Ford are coming to the Ford Fest in Kitchener.
Ford will be at Bingemans on Sept. 8 from 5 to 9 p.m. during a free event hosted by his Progressive Conservatives. Kitchener-Conestoga MPP Mike Harris invited peons to the “free, non-partisan community event.” Its a great way to cap off the summer says he.
“With its vibrant atmosphere and relaxed setting, Ford Fest offers a unique opportunity for attendees to connect with their elected representatives.” Robbed folks in Ontario are asked to register for the event and tell Ford about his corrupt governance. (One may even donate, pffffft) https://ontariopc.ca/events/ford-fest-kitchener/. |

![]() John Mutton, Doug Ford. | The unregistered lobbyist formerly known as Mr. X is a key player in the report by Ontario's integrity commissioner. He is former Clarington Mayor John Mutton. He offered Raptors tickets and golf games to senior figures in the housing ministry while negotiating a $1m "Greenbelt fee" contingent on getting a parcel of land developed in Clarington. Mutton was contracted to work on getting 86 acres of land north of Nash Road out of the Greenbelt by its owner, Peter Tanenbaum. Tanenbaum purchased the property for $2.7m 20 years ago. In September 2022, Mutton wrote Tanenbaum saying that he had a lunch meeting with Amato and deputy chief of staff Kirstin Jensen. "Ours is the only file that I am discussing. I also have them coming to golf at Goodwood in 2 weeks with me and to a Raptors game," he said in an email. |

Mutton and Tanenbaum negotiated a contract on August 9, 2022, where he would be paid a $6,000 per month and a 'Greenbelt Fee' of $225k when final approval was obtained to remove the lands from the Greenbelt and a 'Rezoning fee' of $775,000 when authorization to develop the land was granted. Staffer Kirsten Jensen attended the free lunch, and said it took place on September 27, 2022 at Joey Eaton Centre. She denied discussing anything Greenbelt-related but said that Mr. X gave her a handout.
Nash Road Developments Inc. is the owner of the land slated for removal from the Greenbelt in Clarington. Its president is Peter Tanenbaum. |
3 builders got 92% of the sites taken out of Ontario's Greenbelt. Silvio De Gasperis, the CEO of TACC Group of Companies, had wanted for decades to develop one of his properties, known as Cherrywood, but it was in the Greenbelt. De Gasperis owned the land in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve in Pickering prior to the creation of the Greenbelt in 2005. He felt robbed and that it had improperly been made part of the protected area. He took the province to court, but ultimately lost. When Ford won the 2022 election, Silvio De Gasperis looked to Ryan Amato, Clark’s chief of staff. His opening came on Sept. 14, 2022, at a dinner at the Building Industry and Land Development conference. De Gasperis was seated at the same table with Ryan Amato and came with a package that his daughter, director of planning for TACC, prepared. | ![]() Alana De Gasperis |
“I have a package I want you to take a look at — there was an injustice done at Cherrywood and I want you to take a look,” De Gasparis said to Amato. He handed over the envelope and told Amato to reach out to his daughter. Amato said he would take a look. In early October, Amato called Alana De Gasperis seeking more information. She asked if Cherrywood would be removed from the Greenbelt.
“The government is looking at everything at this moment and have not made any decisions,” Amato told her. She took that opportunity to tell Amato about three other TACC sites: one in Richmond Hill, another in Vaughan, and one in Hamilton.
She heard from Amato on Nov. 3, 2022, when he called her to deliver very profitable news: all four parcels of land were coming out of the Greenbelt. |

The biggest and most valuable land which Ford gifted to his developer friends includes around 1,900 hectares of mostly farmland in and around the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve (DRAP) in north Pickering. In 2022 the CBC identified 28 properties in the sensitive DRAP, covering a total of 718 hectares, that are owned by seven different holding companies controlled by the DeGasperis brothers. Brothers Silvio, Carlo and Michael DeGasperis have had big plans for the DRAP for many years. Four properties bought after the Greenbelt's creation include two purchased together for $1.7m in 2016 and two others bought separately in 2020 for $7.9m and $3.5m. The DeGasperis founded the Tacc Group of companies, which includes Tacc Developments, Tacc Construction, Arista Homes, Opus Homes and Decast Ltd., among others. The brothers and their companies are prolific political contributors to the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario and Doug Ford. Tacc companies had direct access to barking dog Ryan Amato and instructed him which properties to remove from the Greenbelt. He eagerly complied after being given 'packages' at a dinner meeting.

14 of the 15 sites removed from the Greenbelt were by Ryan Amato. | Ontario’s integrity commissioner is reviewing a request to investigate the way the opening of Greenbelt land to select developers resulted in billions in profits. Barking dog in the spotlight is Ryan Amato, the man responsible for choosing which sites would be released for development. He is said to have given 'special consideration' to certain developers. A scathing Auditor General report blasted the process in which decisions regarding the Greenbelt were made. Of the 7,400 acres of land removed from the Greenbelt, 92% were tied to three developers with direct access to the housing ministry. The finger has been pointed at Doug Ford for the steal. In July 2022 Ford installed Ryan Amato as the chief of staff. | Caitlin.Clark2@ontario.ca |
![]() Steve.Clark@pc.ola.org | A top staffer in Premier Doug Ford’s office crafted Greenbelt changes. There are calls for the idiot Ford to resign in disgrace. His governance is corrupt. Ryan Amato is Housing Minister Steve Clark’s Chief of Staff. Clark said today he has Ford’s full support and neither he, nor his chief of staff Amato, will be leaving their positions. The 3 developers have strong ties to the government and they acculmulated land in the Greenbelt for years. In September 2022 Green Lane Bathurst GP Inc., a company connected to developer Rice Group, bought Greenbelt land for about $80m. That was an astute purchase as less than a year later it is worth at least 20 times as much.
