The saddest part of this is that it feels like Ford is banking on the 1-2 year lifespan of his premiership to cram in as many temporarily benefitting policies, rules, and other decisions as he can.
IMO, I can't see any more greenbelt changes getting approved. As it is, the lack of discussion with the Indigenous communities should be a project killer off the bat. The 2% wage cap for public servants is in the same boat, and is already being overturned. It feels like he's banking on the fact that he won't be the one to be in office when these messes come time to be cleaned up, and someone else will have to deal with it and handle the associated bad press.
Its too bad.
Don't worry. We'll give him another majority in 2026.
