UPDATE: THE CITY OF TORONTO OFFICIALS CONTINUE TO HIDE AND TO INCREASE PRESSURE ON ONTARIO GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW THE CITY TO VIOLATE SENIORS RIGHTS WITHOUT CONSENT, WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY, WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH ANY ZONING RULES.
City of Toronto and Toronto Community Housing continue their war on Willowdale Manor seniors home. This week the City started piling tens of millions of dollars in prefab living units in the TTC Finch Station parking lot.
The City continues to go "all in" in its bid to defeat hundreds of vulnerable seniors care home residents and thousands of their families and community members who have voiced fierce opposition to the City's wildly mismanaged secretly planned attempt to steal their cherished green parklands and irreplaceable trees.
All despite a 1998 OMB decision protecting those rights.
"Consultants" and "advocates" are laughing all the way to the bank, making off like bandits under no-bid contracts and undisclosed conflicts.
Mayor John Tory has not only looked the other way but championed the City's dictatorial approach, refusing to disclose the 50 other "inferior" sites they claim were examined in secret with zero public consultation. Since the plans were revealed in March, "consultations" have consisted of staged propaganda online sessions.
Fortunately, Willowdale MPP Stan Cho called upon Municipal Affairs Minister Steve Clark to warn the City that the Ontario Government would not simply wash away citizens' legal rights to transparency and appeal given the overwhelming number of directly affected residents expressing legitimate legal concerns.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE PROVINCE TO FINALLY DRAW THE LINE AND PROTECT THE COMMUNITY.
