I mentioned this in a post a few months back about Ford pushing through Highway 413 for wealthy land developers that donated big to his campaign. 

MZOs are exactly what this project needs. I said it before half-jokingly but what NOT needs is for Italian land developers from Vaughan to buy the surrounding real estate to get the Ring of Fire going.

From an investigation 3 days ago:

"In October, Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua sprung resolutions on his council to approve three special zoning orders that would allow the province to expedite construction projects some of his fellow council members say they knew nothing about.

All three, as council members found out later, were associated with the Cortelluccis, a prominent family of land developers based in Vaughan.

Sixteen of the 18 MZOs handed out since October have gone to developers, most of whom have connections to the Ontario PCs either through former party officials now acting as lobbyists, political donations or both."
