The Fords (when Rob was mayor) attempted to forcibly take the land from the Provincial and Federal governments (by way of their investment in Waterfront Toronto—the company working with Sidewalk Labs on this project). The Provincial government at the time continually blocked them out. Now Ford is premier. It's unknown if he'll set his eyes back on his grand plan. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17492065 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17492065
