Ontario backtracks on plan to include Greenbelt land in Caledon, Ont., zoning order amid pushback

"We're not planning with purpose," said Wilson, who also spoke to CBC Toronto before the public meeting. "We're planning because some developer bought some farmland for a really great price and they want to make a lot of money off of it."

Wilson said the most recent MZO amendment won't lead to the construction of affordable housing, estimating the homes that will be built there will be sold for at least $1 million.

Bingo bang-o bongo, he's right on the mark. This was the plan all along. It was never about increasing supply of affordable housing, no matter how many times Ford and the OPCs pretend it to be. What good will it do Ontario to build million dollar Mcmansions an hour outside of Toronto, and a 15 minute drive from anything, in a province where a solid chunk can't afford even a $400k mortgage?
