Chances that he backtracks on this in a week?

I already read something about Ontario having to compensate the land developers for lost profit.

@Rumblestiltskin @voidavoid See? Ontarians will foot the bill, developers still get rich. There's no way to truly win.

@hamishb @Rumblestiltskin @voidavoid We could just expropriate it -- giving them what the land was worth in say, 1975.

I hope that argument can be made in court but you just never know what was in that contract. We have seen the obvious corruption already I wouldn't be surprised if we see more in the actual contracts.

Hope they have receipts for their donations to Dofo's stag and doe.

Make him walk the entire length of the land he was trying to develop!
