Jae Truesdell, director of housing policy for the office of Ontario Premier Doug Ford, is the latest official to resign amid the Greenbelt scandal, according to the premier.

David Wake, interviewed Rasheed about the Las Vegas trip.
CTV News reported this week that Rasheed, Rehmatullah and Massoudi got massages on Feb. 1, 2020 at the same Las Vegas hotel spa. A spokesperson for Rasheed told CTV the trip was originally booked for December 2019 but got rescheduled and Rasheed "mistakenly" shared incorrect information with the integrity commissioner based on the original itinerary.
