Developers at Doug Ford’s daughter’s wedding only deepens the mystery over his Greenbelt decision
How else do you describe a premier whose sprawling Etobicoke home was opened last August to Progressive Conservative courtiers bearing coin of the realm to help ease the financial burden of his daughter’s impending betrothal?
Last week, Mr. Ford denied any impropriety and portrayed himself as a victim of the media. “I think that’s the first time that’s ever come out in Canadian history, someone asking about someone’s daughter’s wedding,” he said. As for the integrity commissioner, that’s a red herring. Mr. Ford went to him four months after the wedding, when reporters started asking questions, to seek an opinion about his compliance with the province’s integrity rules.
There is much that is troubling here. But in the end it only deepens a larger mystery: why Mr. Ford, after repeatedly vowing as Premier that he would never open up the Greenbelt to development, suddenly reversed himself last fall.out of the protected zone.
