While speaking to reporters after the province announced a new plan to boost housing supply, Tim Hudak could barely contain his glee. With that, one thing is clear: there are winners and losers through the province's housing plan, and there's no doubt the real estate and development industries are coming out on top. Kristyn Wong-Tam, a critic of the Ford government, told CBC Toronto on Thursday after the province announced the plan. Toronto Mayor John Tory, left, is among those raising concerns about the housing supply plan released by Premier Doug Ford's government, including a shift back to the 'old Ontario Municipal Board ways.' It's worth noting the province has already earmarked more than $1 billion to repair Ontario's dilapidated affordable housing offerings and reduce the long waits for social housing through its previously-announced Community Housing Renewal Strategy.
