Caledon council never endorsed an MZO requested by the well-connected Rice Group. The Ford government issued the MZO anyway based on the endorsement of the outgoing mayor, who secretly wrote to the Ford government without council authorization caledoncitizen.com/residents-frus… #onpoli
Caledon staff: “The MZO request did not conform with Provincial Plans, Peel Official Plan & the Caledon Official Plan. The request was not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and with Conservation Authorities regulations & policies” thepointer.com/article/2023-0… #onpoli
@bowker_john #Ontario municipalities should withdraw infrastructure to Ford deals. Imagine paying $M (?) to be a train stop , Liberals also ignored planning policy
@bowker_john Eg. of why province wants #StrongMayor powers -IMHO Unethical for a sole Council member to request in absence of Council endorsement Especially b/c Council deferred #MZO request (Jan/22) to staff to report back @SteveClarkPC didn't care, approved irregardless @ON_Integrity
@bowker_john Former @Caledon_Mayor's lame letter asking for the MZO page 1
@bowker_john Here is page 2 of former @Caledon_Mayor's letter. There should be a full investigation
@bowker_john Here is the letter I received yesterday from @SteveClarkPC
@bowker_john Ford makes Duplessis look like a Boy Scout.
@bowker_john Corruption in Ontario politics has become sickening
@bowker_john Great news that we are getting a new industrial park in Caledon. Most industries are so far off like 2 hours bus ride or 30 mins car ride to Mississauga. Caledon is so underdeveloped.
