According to property records, the purchase closed on Oct. 6, 2022 — three weeks after an unnamed developer requested that the province remove the land and other parcels from the Greenbelt, as described in a recent auditor general’s report.
With the Hamilton purchase, De Gasperis is set to benefit from four of the 15 sites removed from the Greenbelt, owning multiple properties in Pickering, Richmond Hill and Vaughan, as CBC Toronto has previously reported.
CBC Toronto and other media outlets reported that for years, De Gasperis and his family have owned dozens of properties within Pickering’s Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve.
Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk investigated some aspects of the Greenbelt land swap and concluded in a damning report this month that developers influenced how the province selected the sites.
Shortly after, one of those two developers then requested that the Book Road Lands be removed from the Greenbelt, along with two other sites owned by Tacc and companies linked to the De Gasperis family, the auditor’s report says.
While Ford acknowledged the province could have had a better process in place to select the sites, he said opening up some of the Greenbelt land for development is necessary to meet its target of building 1.5 million homes by 2031 — an assertion others, including Hamilton city councillors and planning staff, have refuted.

Automated, unsolicited posts are spam. If a tldr is needed, it can be done by a browser extension or the instance owner making it show up there. Consider that the fediverse is basically email. If you were in a reply all chain and had someone automatically replying to your messages with abbreviated versions, it would be pretty annoying.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Thanks, you’re bringing so much into this community. Glad we have you here. Not.
I literally have 0 idea why you are replying to me when all I am doing is tantalizing you. 😘
What does ‘tantalize’ mean?
