I'm sure this will go to good use!

Just as important as the 471 million in housing dollars is the trades that the Ministry is extracting out of Toronto. If we can get BC-style transit centre zoning for Toronto, it'll be a huge step towards a better zoning regime. Better yet, enforce the recommendations of the Ontario housing task force report. Hopefully, the federal money encourages the city to stop being so recalcitrant - and sets an example for other cities to follow.
