Except one of the 'privileges' of speaking in the House is that you are allowed to lie. Your data can be false. Your anecdotes can be made up. It's all good. You better not repeat any of that in a media scrum outside, but you are allowed to say what-ever you want in the House.

Historically, it would signal the removal of PP from party leader and the CONS can search around for yet another SOCON that's unpalatable by the citizenry.

Calling him an attack dog suggests that he has a bite. He's all yap and as tough as wet paper-towel.
In 2015, Stephen Harper swore he wouldn't make any senate appointments. He appointed 59.
This is the Ford government, so it stands to reason that this was entirely a change that was brought on by developers... And considering this mirrors what was previously done, I'm 99% sure it is. Unfortunately, having the province to go to in order to override a CA is something that both homeowners and municipal governments are going to find useful because of how the CAs have been operating for years... running rough-shod over municipal development plans or property owners plans to enjoy the use of their property. The fact of the matter is that not everyone owns hundreds of acres, so a 30 m setback from any 'water' more significant than a puddle may mean that you can't make changes, improvements or in some cases, repairs to your entire property.
Considering that the original plan was to strip powers away from the CAs to only managing their parks, this seems to be a reasonable situation - it only formalizes the powers the government gave themselves last time when the province had to step in on overriding a CA to allow a warehouse going on a sensitive wetland the CA identified on private industrial-zoned land. It gives them blanket power to do the same thing they've already done in that one-off situation (although the mechanism will be different - they won't just make a law telling the CA to issue a permit). The law does indicate that the ministry still has to consider the same things the CA does, so it's possible that a Ministry's 'overrule' (or even bypass as the law would allow) can been challenged in court at least.
This.
Besides the media play that this will get, jury nullification is still a thing. Even when killing is wrong, it's possible to convince a jury of his peers that killing one CEO has saved thousands of people.
Oh, he's offered solutions in the past, and his wild lack of experience has shown that he'd be terrible at the job. Remember when he said Bitcoin was the only proof against inflation, then people lost everything? (https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-crypto-explainer-1.6653739)
I'm okay with our 'Governor' calling their President all sorts of subservient titles if it means the SOCON pieces-of-shit don't get a whiff of thinking they're important.

If Maine would like to capitulate again, the Maritimes would be happy to have ya. We can send some tough natives (bit redundant to call natives 'tough,' eh?) over to Michigan for them to surrender again.
