Demolition of West Don Lands heritage buildings by Ford government continues despite protests
The demolition of several heritage buildings in the West Don Lands is continuing today despite widespread community opposition.www.cp24.com
"But in a statement provided to CP24 earlier on Tuesday a spokesperson for Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Steve Clark said tat a heritage impact assessment was conducted on the site and that it determined that it is “not of provincial significance.”
"The spokesperson said that alternatives to demolition were considered but it was ultimately determined that those would not be feasible “due in part to the contamination of the property, requiring full remediation.”
Of course it's not of provincial significance lol.
It's of municipal significance though. You'd think the government "for the people" would understand that.
The SLNA injunction is being heard at 4pm today. I do not think the City is (officially anyway) involved.Confirmed through Wong-Tam that this court application is the city injunction. Apparently, court may acknowledge it anytime today or tomorrow even

What a load of bunk ! Apparently a Provincially Significant Wetland in Pickering doesn't mean anything to this government either. However, I think we're getting an ever-clearer idea what is important to the PCs.Reminds me of Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy in the office.
According to Wong-Tam, city is acting as a respondent in the application as directed by Mayor Tory, and city lawyers are involved. Not sure if this means that the city is still pursuing their own injunction still scheduled for feb 2...The SLNA injunction is being heard at 4pm today. I do not think the City is (officially anyway) involved.
I don’t think anything would give me more glee than Doug Ford /province having to rebuild demolished buildings on site brick by brick.
Preferably with the injunctive order that every dollar it costs come out of Ford's and Clark's personal pocket book, not the Province's funds.
