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.

In recent weeks, the property owner of 765 and 775 Kingston Rd. E. in Ajax, roughly 40 kilometres northeast of Toronto, listed the land for sale. A portion of the property was slated to be turned into a business park rather than homes, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing said in a statement.

My analysis of data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveals a staggering revelation — more than 150 monthly temperature records have been broken across Canada this year.
