The premier said he broke a promise when he decided to open the Greenbelt for housing development.

“It was a mistake to open the Greenbelt. It was a mistake to establish a process that moved too fast,” Ford said.

but the entire Toronto area voted against him.

Huh? Only Etobicoke North had the opportunity to vote for him – and elect him they did!

The entire region was solid red

What? 12 of the ridings in the City of Toronto proper were as blue as it comes. Nine of the ridings were orange. Only four showed red. And it is was a complete sea of blue if we extend out into the larger Toronto area.

You must be looking the results of the federal election. The colour red swept the City of Toronto federally, but that has absolutely nothing do with Ontario or Doug Ford. Completely different government.

Huh. I must have looked at an early map so Toronto looked different. It's pretty sad to see so much blue on the final map after all the shit Ford did to us on his previous term.

My bad.
