Chilton Scandal

The Chilton Scandal continues at Queens Park. Loyal readers of the Toronto Gazette will remember highlights from our series on the businessman turned politician. Chilton owned the slaughterhouses off Eastern Aveue which famously dumped their effluent directly into Ashbridge’s Bay, nearly causing an outbreak of cholera. Many became sick.

In theory, after our expose on the matter, Mr. Chilton sold his slaughterhouses before joining his ethical equals at the provincial legislature. In reality, they are now owned by a numbered company. The address on file is a P.O. Box, the board of directors is comprised entirely of two of his cronies, and Chilton, now the province’s Land Commissioner, is pushing the government to purchase the land – at an inflated price.
