Wow, I swear every news article that comes out about this gets wilder and wilder. I'm hella impressed with the investigating that some of the reporters have been doing.

Just this week there's more proof Ford knew about these changes well before he was claiming he did, one of his big defenses against the claims he tipped off key developers of the changes. (Proof he knew by June 2022, not Nov 2022 like he's claiming).

For those who don't know/haven't followed, there is tons of proof of sketchy things around this greenbelt changes like TACC development (one of the big developers) buying protected land at a ridiculous 21% interest rate less than a year before the greenbelt changes.

Here is a link to the Narwhal that does a good job of summarizing the situation for anyone not in the know. They've been doing a great job digging at this story, along with the Star reporters.
