The swirling controversy over how Premier Doug Ford's government removed protected land from Ontario's Greenbelt to build housing is weakening voter support for the premier and his Progressive Conservative party, according to a pair of new opinion polls released this week.

Both polls β€” one conducted by the Angus Reid Institute and the other by Abacus Data β€” show recent drops in approval for Ford and the Progressive Conservatives. Pollsters for both firms believe the Greenbelt saga is a key factor.

"The Greenbelt has been the issue that has dominated headlines over the last several weeks," said Shachi Kurl, president of the non-profit Angus Reid Institute.

"It's hard to decouple that from these findings."

Remember when we said that as COVID raged and health care workers were hung out to dry?

I remember that. And he got a majority government because of it.

Anyone following this circus knows well that they removed the old incompetent housing minster and brought a new minister who now will take MORE lands from green built. You all are being played. Worst part, not even 10% of developments will have affordable housing, which is how you know the gov. of Ontario is run by the corrupt Doug tub of shit Ford..
