Barrie, Caledon and Guelph – they are getting visits from the Premier and Cabinet Ministers.
Why – because they are building homes.

The Premier has been to Burlington – met with the Mayor while he was here.
Rob Flack, Associate Minister of Housing, will be joined by Annette Groves, Mayor of Caledon, to provide an update on Caledon’s progress toward its housing target.

“I applaud the work being done by Guelph making substantial progress toward their 2031 housing targets,” said Paul Calandra, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “My message to mayors across this province is that we must continue to work together and build on our progress on making home ownership a reality for everyone. We will give you the tools you need to succeed in our shared goal.”

Premier dances with his daughter at her wedding reception.
The Planning department puts out all kinds of numbers showing some progress – but not the kind of numbers the province wants to see.
Maybe the Mayor doesn’t want the Premier in the city – the last time he was in town it was to marry off his daughter at the Pearle Hotel and Spa – and look what that led to! Packages with instructions that detailed properties that could be taken out of the Greenbelt and used for housing developments were passed along as the Premier danced with his daughters.
It was the kind of thing you used to see in the mobster movies.
And now he’s trying to load the courts for his tough on crime spin. Not so sure he’d have welcomed that when he was the collector heavy for his brother.
The Pleasant Valley PTA has nothing on the Gazette. Al Pacino must be lurking around the corner looking for a spare horse head to spice things up.
