"It may look that way, and the media proclaims this is the case, but no one has come forward with proof this occurred," he continued in the email sent on Monday. Dart was writing to Patrick Macklem, a retired legal scholar and 2022 Green Party of Ontario candidate in Parkdale—High Park, who shared it with The Trillium.
Since late 2022, investigators within the OPP’s anti-rackets branch have been interviewing subjects to try to determine whether or not to launch an investigation, as Global News first reported. The detective also wrote that “to prove Breach of Trust, we will require evidence that the offence occurred and all we have received, from everyone we have spoken to, is the information they have learned from the news media.”
Anti-rackets is the go-to branch of the OPP for investigations concerning Queen's Park. It “provides specialized investigative resources to OPP regions, detachments, bureaus, Ontario municipal police services and government ministries facing complex financial investigations,” according to OPP spokesperson Bill Dickson.
Last fall, the Ford government proposed and finalized a plan to remove 7,400 acres in 15 different parcels of land from the Greenbelt to allow homes to be built on the land. The government added 9,400 acres of land from elsewhere to the Greenbelt, but this land was already under other environmental protections.
