How Much Is Ford’s Greenbelt PR Campaign Costing Ontario Taxpayers?

Ford’s Conservative Government So Far Fails to Give An Answer. So Much for Openness and Transparency With We, The People Who Pay For All of This.

” What (are they) trying to hide?”

QUEEN’S PARK – NDP MPPs Jeff Burch (Niagara Centre) and Jennie Stevens (St. Catharines) received no answers from the Conservatives this morning as they tried to learn how much money Ford spent on his attempted Greenbelt PR campaign (https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/doug-ford-fights-back-against-greenbelt-report-with-ad-campaign-as-tory-insiders-say-he/article_f72b8fce-e582-5a0b-aa0d-1b0d18059132.html) .

“Ford’s Conservatives are running a months-long advertising campaign – using taxpayer money – to try to sell their unpopular Greenbelt Grab to Ontarians as necessary to build homes,” said Burch. “Now that Ford has been forced to backtrack, how much money was spent on his attempts to benefit land speculators?”

“The people of Ontario stood strong together to protect their Greenbelt,” said Stevens. “They deserve to know how much of their money was wasted in PR advertising trying to convince them otherwise.”

Instead of a straight answer, Housing Minister Paul Calandra deflected and distracted. What is he trying to hide?
