housing

The Liberal government is dusting off a measure it promised years ago and pulling in other parties' proposals for cheaper groceries and more homes as it struggles to tackle affordability concerns that are top-of-mind for many Canadians.

Doug Ford continues to plow ahead with his Greenbelt giveaway. Steven Guilbeault can stop it dead in its tracks. Why we might be headed for a major showdown between Ottawa and Ontario — one the Trudeau Liberals can actually win.

While no one explicitly told developers that Ontario planned to open up the protected Greenbelt for housing last year, the government telegraphed that message to builders through actions – and silence, the province's integrity commissioner found.

Assessing 14 sites the government removed from the Greenbelt for housing development will be part of a larger review of all parcels of protected Greenbelt land, the Ontario premier said. Opposition leaders expressed concern the review will cause Ford to open up even more of the Greenbelt.
