      New homes for residents of Ontario through expropriation.
      Prey on vulnerable homeowners then steal their equity with lowball offers saying it’s to keep them safe.
      The province has a moral obligation to offer market value for the homes targeted for expropriation in the initial estimate for the project period.

    Well I hope the city will pay for all moving costs and related ie:realtor costs, lawyers etc, because none of these costs would be incurred otherwise. This is a gross injustice and one the Govt needs to be held accountable for. Putting Canadians out of their homes with one hand while giving away millions/billions of dollars to attract foreigners to live/be housed here is criminal.

    "Fair market value" is only valid when the sale is voluntary. In the case of a forced expropriation, the compensation should be greater than "fair market value" to take into account emotional trauma, moving expenses and the inconvenience of living somewhere that does not correspond to where they have chosen to live.
