BREAKING: Alana De Gasperis (pictured next to a younger Stephen Lecce) is one of the donors in the hacked #GiveSendGo list
The De Gasperis family are the billionaire real estate developers tied to Doug Ford and the Ontario PC Party.
The fact that @OntarioPCParty connected land speculators own the majority of greenbelt land @fordnation just opened for sprawl is no surprise.
That many have been spending tens of millions of dollars on purchasing greenbelt land since Ford came to power...what did they know? https://twitter.com/CBCQueensPark/status/1591056929039663105
NEW: Here’s the list of companies and people who own the land that Premier Doug Ford’s government wants to remove from the Greenbelt. Story by @CBCToronto’s @helloryanjones https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/gta-developers-own-greenbelt-land-swap-1.6648273
"The myth of the Greenbelt is causing unaffordability has... been debunked more times than I have fingers." — @shoshannasaxe (@civmin) at 11pm with @EneUnderwood (@HabitatGTA), @mazyarmortazavi (@tas_impact), @jacoobaloo (@MoreNeighbours) & @spaikin | Producer: @meredithmartin
OMG. Democratic policies are popular, and voters respond to that! https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1590536125747281920
Cruz: Why did the Democrats do better than expected? Because for two years they have governed as liberals. They’ve governed as whacked out lefty nut jobs. You know what that did? That excited their base. That excited a bunch of young voters..

It was a pleasure being invited to the grand opening of the @2RiversNG root cellar. Very impressive work in our community by @ianward2 and Woodside Root Cellars. They have built 18 Root Cellars in Guelph and a few more in Wellington County. Excellent way to get food savings!
Joined MP @LloydLongfield today to see the Root Cellar Project in the @cityofguelph. Conceived by Transition Guelph & Woodside Root Cellars to support the Two Rivers Neighbourhood Group, the project increases the resilience & security of our local food system in downtown Guelph.
