- Ontario Premier Doug Ford had a tense moment Thursday with Global News Queen's Park Bureau Chief Colin D'Mello, telling him "you have a home," as he answered a question on a report by the province's integrity commissioner on how 7,400 acres were removed from the Greenbelt. #shorts #greenbelt #dougford #ontario

Dougie fails to say that these " Homes " in the Greenbelt are unaffordable to 90% of Ontarians..
The argument is that it will still increase the housing supply. For a lot of immigrants coming into the country who have money, they will buy them all without a problem. Supply will go up, which will shift the market and reduce home prices in the geographical region. You have to look at the bigger picture. But yes, at face-value, that is true.
Thats not his fault though, when foreign investors outbid the locals by 150k what are the home builder’s supposed to do?
Homes are unaffordable because there are not enough of them, supply and demand is not a difficult concept
This is why we need to build more homes. We have supply issue being enhanced by the federal government. Letting so many immigrants into this country.
Its all about the money..hes lining his pockets for his future... he's a crook always has been
he is in love with trudeau he TRUDEAU'S
Great point Steve...we should put another different crook in power. 😂😂😂. I love how people actually think that developers haven't always really run the show! So you actually think it really matters which puppet is in power😂😂😂
@@mikepetrilli4686 nope they are all basically the same ..you think we'd learn ...he will stay in as he has for years ..40 % of his cabinet invested in real estate...
Well, have you ever thought that people challenging development in greenbelt have real estate investments or collude with real estate developers? Limited supply can boost up the price of inventories they are holding.
Yup, it's just about who's gona line their pockets the least outa the bunch
Lol build homes that cost over $2,000,000! You’re not building homes the real people can afford
Meanwhile for literally a few hundred dollars, aircrete harry on youtube sews a few tarps into a dome shape, inflates it, then coats it in a self insulating aircrete that uses only half the cement because its like an Areo bar with self insulating air that makes heating the place even more affordable to keep occupied.
Lots on govt owned lands should be fastracked and should include viable newer affordable methodologies to housing solutions. Solutions that can from innovating Habitat For Humanity were the people who need homes have an opportunity to make sure its built and in a timely manner.
Frostbite never really produces afterlives, no matter what politicians say.
Also, these homes won't be built till 2026-2027 if shovels aren't going in the ground for another 1.5 years (2025). Imagine what they'll cost then..
Could you kindly provide the pricing list that indicates a list price of 2 million dollars? If you possess this information, I would appreciate your sharing it. In the event that you do not have access to such data, I would encourage you to consider the possibility that the parcels were originally acquired at a modest cost. This factor may contribute to a lower asking price upon release. Furthermore, it's important to acknowledge that the areas in which these lands were purchased have a market value significantly lower than 2 million dollars. It's essential to examine both perspectives before drawing conclusions.
It's worth noting that, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the average home price in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is $1.27 million. A semi-detached house typically costs just under a million, and a condominium is priced at around $630,000. These figures provide context for the broader real estate market in the region.
So what price in todays market do you think these homes will be selling for? Do you think they will be under $1 million or over? If so, is this really "affordable" housing for the people Ford is saying really need housing? @@pardeepmann5263
Dougie started helping his cronies from very beginning by cancelling properties to be rented from Nov 15 2018 from being under rent control.
Rent control properties: he didn't stop landlords from raising rents to any level if vacated.This destroys the whole reason for rent controls.
This intolerant lying person has to go!
Didn’t answer the question….feels like something is hidden. They should resign for the good of Ontario.
They’ve to put the protected land back. It’s a rich getting richer not about housing…
The missing word Ford never uses is ‘affordable’ housing. Sure there are plenty of houses foe sale in Ontario but not within the reach of many two income families let alone those that are low income and just scraping by. Constructing expensive houses in the green belt will do nothing for this demographic.
It will increase the housing supply and lower prices across the board.
It would increase the supply of homes in the market, which will drive down prices. The reason home prices are high right now is because demand is at an all-time high, but the supply cannot keep up with the demand. So realtors know for a fact the homes will sell, therefore they price higher. The constant population increase due to unfettered immigration has created this issue. I don't know what else you can expect when we bring in over 500,000 people per year... the vast majority of them stay around the GTA.
So a reporter has a home, so rules don’t matter.
Cool
Building mega mansions outside of Toronto has absolutely nothing to do with helping with the lack of affordable housing inside Toronto.
Do you possess the site plans depicting the proposed development of mega mansions within the green belt on these parcels? If you do, I kindly request you to share them. Otherwise, your argument may be considered unsubstantiated.
Exactly
Why can't new immigrants strive to become wealthy someday through hard-work and good decision making and dream to purchase a mega mansion outside Toronto in 2043 that would be 20yrs old if it were completed now?
But, but, but everybody needs affordable housing now, dats da weel pwobwem!!! Excuses, pivot, deflect, block, shift the goal posts. Rinse repeat, ensure nothing happens at any level... Success??? 👏
My parents were immigrants to Canada in the early 80s. They couldn't afford a home in Toronto. Guess whatbthey did - they moved outside of Toronto to Whitby. I applaud his response.
Those greenbelt property are not going to be for affordable housing
Nobody can afford to buy ANY homes, is he delusional??? Except maybe his friends!!! My mom owns her home in Windsor and she can't afford groceries! Or electricity!! She's 80!!
The economic concept at play here is known as "supply and demand." I would encourage you to explore this concept further, as it can provide valuable insights and enhance your understanding of the topic.
@@pardeepmann5263Supply and demand?😂 This country is a joke.
lol, says someone lacking the insight to understand the affordable housing problems we face.@@pardeepmann5263
@@pardeepmann5263 no matter how many homes are built on the wetlands (greenbelt) there will be demand which will cause bidding wars.
No way these homes will be affordable!!
That’s Turdoo’s fault!!!
Crook!
The lunatic incompetence is that he actually would tell you that homelessness frostbite makes the victims float off to a fancy happy home in the sky.
Yeah I'm sure he was making himself and his friends rich out of the goodness of his heart.
Why would you build home where the land is made to produce food if you Don, t have food in your tummy you going to die any way even if you have a home over your head !!
There are millions of hectares of farmland in Canada. In fact there's enough farmland in Canada to provide food for most of the world.
Doug Ford should resign. The buck stops here, not working.
And JAILED
Trudeau and the liberals can join him too
Ford you build your homes but who's going to afford it. They can't even afford their rent or put food on the table.
You ford are trying to be righteous now & side swipe us. But we see who you are, we see the truth. Paul the reporter is speaking truth to power
No one is arguing about building homes . You gave sweet heart deals to political friends . That is what you are being asked about .
You can have housing without corruption
Are you referring to the construction companies? Some would call that an incentive.

It’s a stupid idea to give up the green belt to build home. It’s not just green and beautiful to look at. It serves a much greater purpose. Like clean filtered water!! A natural resource!!! I’m a PC but this is just wrong!!!!
It is 0.37% of the greenbelt. We either build that or shut off immigration. Do you own a home?
@@kirkster72 of course. But my family in Europe never did. IT’s population density that causes homes to be unaffordable. Western European countries still all have large green areas around them that they will never build on because it is vital to the health of the people. Farm land and water come first. Here it’s just greed!!!
@@Scratch2024, where then should we build when over 1M people/year want to live in the GTA? Easy to critique, solutions not so much. The greenbelt has created an island that is unaffordable and NIMBY's don't want towers
@@kirkster72 not sure. But we can’t keep destroying green belt. Or non of us will live here. Maybe we need to look at how china does it?
@@Scratch2024, laughable. Look to china for environmental and green space stewardship? LOLOLOL
Young people can afford to buy a home here in Ontario. What he is talking about ?
MR. Ford ---do you think the homes in the greenbelt will be affordable to the homeless? And why would you sell the land to the highest bidder outside the country when economically Canadians should have had first bids.
Building more homes increases the supply, provides more housing for new immigrants and reduces the overall cost. It's economics 101.
@@cimmeriantowerFord's "economic 101" plan was such a disaster that another minister resigned in shame and Ford has completely reversed the deal and admitted it was a giant mistake.
To be fair, the only mistake is his government so far.....
It’s not about homes! It’s about building them on the best ground for growing and keeping nature beautiful.

Spoken like a true liberal. How's the cost of living treating you?? Canada is one of the countries with the highest cost of living in the world because of trudeaus policies.
Build a rail system and don't build in the Greenbelt
GO TO JAIL, GO TO JAIL, GO TO JAIL...!!!!
Years down the road when all your food is imported youll be asking," Why did we allow them to turn all of those good, productive farms into subdivisions full of houses on tiny little lots, that produce nothing?"
It is a manufactured housing crisis...caused by unethical and irresponsible public servants.
Because I’m from Alberta can you help me understand in a quick point . Was that green belt land sold from previous owners ?
How did it come to be that government owns it ? I’m just curious . If Ford opened it to developers ,who had owned it in prior years ?
He will forever be known as Mr. Greenbelt
Opening the green belt is not required to solve the housing issue. That was included in the auditor’s report.
He's always been a criminal. Just a different suit now.
Ford's true colors !
What kind of homes will be built in the Greenbelt? They are for sure not for the common folks, Mr. Premiere
New community projects include all levels of homes - detached, attached and condominium. Furthermore, a greater supply will reduce the average cost of homes. Basic economics.
Good Ole Mr.Buck-a-Beer = ONE BIG FAT SLIME BALL
You can build all the homes you want, 6% interest and with building materials not coming down in price. Who then is able to make these Is enormous mortgage payments?
Thank you @GlobalTv for asking the tough questions! Doug Ford makes me sick with his constant lies. The auditor general's report clearly says there is enough land to build homes and he doesn't need to touch the Greenbelt. It is disgusting we have a Premier that is only looking out for himself and his buddies.
You need a large space to incentivize developers to build large suburban communities that will actually have an impact. Moreover development in core urban areas is being blocked by lobby groups and municipal governments.
@@cimmeriantowerthat's something the provincial government would have authority over...so again, they didn't have to build in the green belt....simping for a corrupt politician 🙄 well done..
@@cimmeriantowerthis must be embarrassing for you how hard you simped a corrupt political, only for then have that politician turn around and state the plan you stuck up for so hard was just all one big "giant mistake" 🤡
Glad someone is actually out there asking these questions
Why isn't he directly addressing the 88K acres of land outside the greenbelt that were already ready to be developed? Smells more fishy here than a third rate fishmonger at a wet market.
The cost of building a small home is 200K especially when using the low quality material we use here. Why do the sell at 1.5m?
B/c of corrupt developers who Doug Ford is colluding with.
Ford is a crook. Ford " I'm not a Crook".
His brother was so much better... thats why they exposed his drug addiction and murdered him so Doug could replace his brother because Doug tows the line for the higher ups.
Why didn't you build the homes on all of the available land without touching the greenbelt? I guess the developers wanted all of that pristine farmland instead.
Doug, wake up. The problem is density and underdeveloped land in Toronto. I could drive along hundreds of kms of the main streets of Toronto and see only 2-3 storey buildings. Much of this needs redevelopment. We don’t need 2-3 million dollar homes being built on green space your buddies own.
avoids the real question of why did he do it in the green belt.
build some damn homes then, just not in The Greenbelt
Amen to that so true all across Canada the streets are full of homeless it's shameful to be a Canadian now
There’s a lot of heat over this. But Trudeau trying to interfere with the Justice system. Crickets from the media clowns
Nice "whataboutism " 🙄
Screw that man,
Quit expanding existing giant cities, densify them, or build new ones.
Detached homes don’t belong in Toronto
Only rich people can afford houses. In the green belt. They won’t be 300 G. That regular people can afford. They will be 850 g and up. Way too Help people
Why are you not resigning. Everyone is resigning but yourself the one that is is the problem. How are you going to build houses where people need cars to get to work. Colin has a home because he has work for years. What about your good paying job that you are screwing the greenbelt which gives us food to eat. What is the point about having a house a no food. YOU NEED TO GO FORD.
It's very embarrassing to hear stories about lack of vacancy from my new co-workers that came to Ontario all the way from Africa and Asia to help our communities and businesses stay alive...
Can anybody born in Canada fathom the risk and sacrifice our new friends take by coming to Canada? Most our new friends can only visit their relatives 1x per year if lucky, it at all because of the cost of living. How do we thank our new friends for helping us thrive? We won't build a condo downtown because the proposed building is too tall, we won't build an apartment on a brown-field site because the lot has trees on it, we won't build a new subdivision because of zoning... Xenophobia by shifting the goalposts and inventing new goalposts for people who look different, green agenda people really dislike immigrants living near them. I've seen many Green Kevin's & Green Karen's protesting to block all new housing. To ALL my new immigrant friends from Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, South Africa, Philippines, Malaysia, all other countries too : I personally apologize for the fact Canadians would rather play games instead of putting 1 shovel in the ground right now to build any new living spaces anywhere. Canada now builds more living spaces for fentanyl addicts than it does for immigrants, shame on all Canadians for allowing this!
We don't have a housing crisis. We have a demand crisis. Too many people coming to Ontario.
Bought out just like the rest of them
Hate it when the salesman says your name 40 times.
Thank you for that but he's not going to answer any of that? Zoning is a problem in many municipalities the housing minister should answer for that because why are they only wanting to build in the one area Doug promised was not to be touched if he did indeed promise that?
I don't own a home and I'd really appreciate keeping the green belt untouched..
Charge this beastly creature and be done!
After Ford's response, it would be unethical for Colin to not be allowed to respond....Was he?!?
Professor-Marty.
Lol. Where are all these homeless people that are ready to buy$500k homes? Am I missing something?
The Premier's response implies that he needs to compromise integrity and disregard ethical rules to build homes. Lol
Deny the tax. Support Saskatchewan
Everyone has the same opportunity, not everyone has the same drive
Ford acts like he didn’t come from his house lmfao get him gone
Yeah I'm sure all the homes he's getting kickbacks to develop are going to be affordable to anyone who can't presently buy one. What a hero.
The greenbelt land wont have homes on it for at least 15-20 years. This is not about making homes fast, it's about making money for these politicians.
If the Ontario Provincial Government cared about homes they would focus on fixing the draconian and Euclidian zoning laws that punish builders for building.
Not true, they can have large communities up in no time. Look at Calgary. New suburbs pop up every year. You can say want you want about fixing zoning laws but that's a whole other battle with the municipalities and still won't fix the problem of lack of housing.
Colin doesn't care about the homeless....he just wants to sell stories.
Lots of land and homes in nothern ontario and north western Ontario.. but this premier only goes as far as port carling to his cottage..
Can’t we build our own homes? Who needs govnt to build our homes?! Let’s wwjd up!
Owner built owner liability.
@@sometea4741 they should deal with the homeless…help THEM build homes but let ordinary people build their own homes.
Let People Live in Trailor Parks All Year Round Like in the States Change the Bylaws its Intant Help and Also Chang the Bylaws So People Can Have Trailors in their Driveways and Backyards to Rent Out its a Start to Homelessness
Love you, Doug. I have been a life-long Liberal but you have my vote in the next election. You tell it the way it is.
Doug ford needs to resign or be literally thrown out this is criminaly disgusting
Be aware that this is how all politicians act and think everywhere, regardless of political party. If they can use their position to make a buck, they will.
So he doesn't answer the question and attacks the person asking the question personally. There is nothing to do with policy or politics in the response. Just straight to personal attacks.
He forgot to say "so we're going to give every Ontarian a high paying job so they can buy luxury houses like us". Does a development company building high priced houses help anybody but other rich people? Why does he keep saying he is building homes? He ain't building s with public funds, all he did was make property more valuable after it was sold to his buds by then declaring it not the green belt. Ask him how much the developer paid and then how much the value increased right after he took it off the green belt?
Don't attribute to incompetence that which can be attributed to malice [or in this case greed]
Can’t believe him. It’s not the first time
Building Homes doesn't equal opportunity! These homes will likely still be unaffordable, particularly since most of the greenbelt property is not even develop ready lol. Ridiculous Leadership that cannot admit their mistakes.
Constructing new homes will increase the housing supply and reduce costs across the board. It is basic economics.
@@cimmeriantower okay, and say they reduce the cost of homes from 900,000 to 500,000 over a few years time...does that help people right now loosing their homes due to lack of affordability? Do you think the disadvantaged, poor, or homeless, post pandemic can suddenly just afford? There is a tremendous gap btw rich and poor post pandemic. As I said, new homes don't = opportunity. I also speak from personal experience, where I lost my career and financial freedom from covid shutdowns. I worked very hard for 17 years to go from a disadvantaged position to one of advantage, and before I could reap the benefits I lost it all. Now I am loosing the roof over my head due to extraordinary interest rates! I think we need far more action than just building new homes. We need new policy and legislation - period.
Colin is going to ask him a year from now: “Why didn’t you build houses on the land that IS available”? He’s going to ask that because he knows it’s going to take at least 25 years before those lands Doug released on The Greenbelt will have the infrastructure they need.
Great answer Doug, ask Colin to give up his house hmmm
More people would have a home if they first imposed a Federal Rental Increase cap of no more than 2.0% retroactive to 2019, then secured a subsidy for all whose income falls below 20 to 25 Thousand per year with a Guaranteed Subsidy for those below $10000. The solution starts not with building the homes but with securing everyone within one first.
That land should go back to the green belt, we have a lot of land outside the green belt that could be used for housing!
And my question has always been... where are we going to house all these people in affordable housing?
Watch Judge Dredd. The government's solution to housing will be mega city 1
They need to build hundreds of thousands of low income homes, they wanna open up the greenbelt so that they can build multi-million dollar homes that nobody can afford anyway except for all the rich buddies. Housing development needs to be based around the lowest income workers.
so sad... He portrays himself as clueless but he's not, he's just plain corrupt and got caught!
Building homes for all the rich traveling foreigners and rich millionaire friends to own their 5th home. I'll never be able to afford a home while he is in charge. He also stopped me from furthering my education when he abolished people like me going to college.
You have to base your minimum wage on the minimum housing for the that to be possible. It is ethical to require every job to be 4 times the rent for one bedroom apartment local commute so that everyone can reliably pay the rent. The least wage pays the rent to be a legal business the wage have to match the business practices of rent. 4xr one bedroom apartment is the normal business practice and one weeks is equal to one months rent for one bedroom apartment local commute. The police and welfare departments rightfully expect every job is a living not a transient wage or homeless wage but enough to reliably pay the rent for one bedroom apartment local commute to be a legal business.
He's deflecting. There's already enough land elsewhere. His builder pals just wouldn't make nearly as much money.
Douggie, what about the 14,000 hectares that was already approved for housing in the Peel, York, Halton and Hamilton areas? Get cracking there! Stop with the fake outrage. You got CAUGHT!SHAME on YOU!
Took gst out 🤣🤣 these guys think we are fools! The new houses you are building start 1 million..! At this point doesn’t even matter if you build or not ! We cannot afford it anyways..

Bucks stops in his pockets and the pockets of Conservatives. Remember that ontarians!
I’d like to know how much these homes will be and who will have access to them. I’ve worked my whole life and my kids can’t afford a home unless it’s 3 hours north and I help with the payments. This may sound crass but if new immigrants will have first shot at these homes then the system truly sucks. Canadians first please. Feel free to call me racist
How about you do something for the economy instead of lining your own pockets ford. You don’t deserve this role ford step down.
His days are numbered as all of Ontario now knows he's CORRUPT. You rub his back ($$$$$) & he'll rub yours (insider dealing; who really is "Mr X").
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter at this point. Want to see the future of Toronto, Mr. Ford? It's called Detroit.
If he only knew that there are soo many abandoned houses/building that can be use.
Oh they know. There's no money for them in those places though.
@@Joolz111 so they say….
LOL The ones that don't have homes won't be able to afford those homes until the day they die. And I'm not talking about homeless people.
Ontario’s are not fools listening your story. Doug Ford lost his credibility. The problem with housing availability is again mismanagement with all level of government, incompetencies and policy
