Doug Ford\u2019s Greenbelt scandal continues to deepen. In the past few weeks, there have been two high-profile political resignations, revelations about a mysterious consultant known as \u201cMr. X\u201d, and another provincial watchdog who panned the Greenbelt land swap as rushed and flawed.\n\nIt\u2019s all related to Ontario\u2019s decision to allow construction on previously protected farmlands, forests and wetlands that would allow a small group of well-connected developers to make an estimated $8.3-billion.\n\nToday we\u2019re joined by Emma McIntosh. She\u2019s an Ontario environment reporter at The Narwal, who has been closely following this story.\n\nLooking for a transcript of the show?
