I would say this is more like you're driving around in an old gas guzzling chevy pickup with a new Toyota hybrid coming in next week when it turns out you have some pretty serious engine work that needs to be done. You can drop all that money into this truck so you have something for the next week or so, or you can get rid of this thing. Go without a car for a bit. And then someone else can take this truck and do something with it like make a house or something. At least that's what I'm getting from this video.

But the land NEXT to the Ontario Science Centre was bought by the DeGasperis family. "The De Gasperis family purchased the Celestica property across from the Science Centre less than a month before Doug Ford announced the Ontario Line would extend to that location!" This family owns TACC, which operates others such as "Eastern Avenue (Condo), a company associated with the deGasperis family of Aspen Ridge Homes." They also bought property at The Foundry for $101 million from the province by way of MZO emergency order. It was a historical property, and was protected until Ford sold it, with plans to demolish its history.

The Science Centre is a cornerstone of not only my childhood experience as a Toronto kid, but of many kids like me. Curiosity and the desire for lifelong learning are important traits to nurture in children. Culture and education are invaluable parts of a society to respect and preserve. The Science Centre provided so many kids like me with a place to connect with their parents and siblings over the love of science. Doug Ford isn’t just closing this place - he is STEALING it from the citizens who live here, and he is STEALING this experience from our future children, all in the name of making a couple bucks. Almost everything I know from my Canadian childhood is either gone or disappearing. Alongside the other issues we are already facing, this makes me feel incredibly disenfranchised with Canada as a whole. It doesn’t feel like home any more.

I remember going to the science center on a school trip in the 70's and it blew me away as a kid back then. Sadly I don't think I ever went back after that. I agree however that our governments at all levels, seem to be more than willing to destroy good old buildings, in favor of new ones. The past is given little consideration when deciding if a building is useful or not. Case in point, look up Garth Turner and Elgin Hall. A sad story that seems all too common in Canada, which is fast becoming the country of no culture, other than the culture of destroy and build.

The GTA is where the votes are, and while there's lots of money in Ontario's extraction industries, the majority of the money is still in the GTA.

Well its one way of paying off the debts the liberals and NDP leave us with after years of "muh free stuff."

Science Centre opened in 1969, designed to last 250+ years. - 5 years ago, a developer family* close to Doug Ford bought 60+ acres adjacent to the Science Centre - One month later, Ford announces that the last stop on the new Ontario Line subway will be...The Science Centre!!! - Ford closes the Science Centre immediately. Permanently. His engineering report says the Science Centre needs maintenance - does not say it needs to be closed. - Ford is away on vacation. Construction and demolition equipment are already on site across the road, set to go to work before the public can intervene. - Ford, never known for moving fast, unveils and executes a plan to turn a world-class Ontario icon into condos on a Friday, then disappears before anyone can answer the phone at Queens Park. Cha-Ching!!!! *The same family that bought up property along the cancelled Hwy 413 route. When Ford resurrected the highway to nowhere, the value of the family's land went up $8.3billion.

Great analysis, have wanted to see more of a focus on corruption in the various Ontario provincial governments over the years - it's a bottomless pit of video opportunities!

Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for any special interest group. How does a park at Toronto help Taxpayers in TimiIns or Moosonee?

@Themohr

17 күн бұрын

Don't you think that's a bit of a disingenuous comparison? I mean, in theory at least, parks in Toronto help to increase tourism and general economic activity. That's all taxed, meaning (again in theory - it really depends on how those holding the purse strings choose to act) there's more money overall. But let's flip this around - let's say the highways near Timmins need repair because they've been pulverized by the heavy trucks carrying ore out of the mines. How does that help the millions of people in Toronto? The honest answer is that both investments provide more opportunity for people to do things, and making it easy for people to go out and do things, earning and spending money, is how you foster an economy. With all that said, you're right that Queen's Park doesn't have the bandwidth to give due time and attention to vast swaths of the province.

If Toronto got to keep its own income and sales taxes, we could have f'ing subways under every street. Yet we have to beg for a fraction of our own money back for the cheapest possible train, and then get seen as entitled...

I'm glad you made this video. I've been living close to OSC for over ten years now. Ever since 2018, the ford government have been very hostile to the middle and lower class. I live in Thorncliffe Park neighbourhood, and since Ford came in, he unilaterality took land and made business out to build the Metrolinx train yard. Ever since he came in, big Real-estate investors come as a hoard to the neighborhood, bought the buildings, did little paint job, and started gouging rent prices and applying Above-Guideline Rent increases to price older tenants and bring new tenants who would pay more. In my experience here in Canada, I've seen many bad things by the Ford Government. I wish if you can talk about the rent strikes happening in all over the city. I've been on a rent strike my self since a year, now. Overall, thanks for talking about this.

Not stupid, apathetic. And he is correct, how else would he get elected TWICE.

The Infrastructure Minister was mentioned her name is Kinga Surma. Quick Wikipedia search hit carreer, 3rd paragraph down Surma won the contested PC nomination in the riding of Etobicoke Centre in November 2016. It was alleged that then former City Councillor Doug Ford intimidated her opponent in favour of Surma.[7][5] Further controversies regarding the election followed as Ford was accused of breaking party rules by purchasing party memberships to secure voters for the election of Surma.[5] This came after the release of an audio recording of Ford recruiting members with Surma, claiming memberships are free despite voting being only open to party members who pay a membership fee.[8] PC party chair Walied Soliman cleared Ford of wrongdoing in 2018.[8] Is she one of Dog Fords cronies? She was fired from city hall too.

Ontario was a great place to visit. Still upset the next generations were not able to enjoy a simple wholesome fun place for kids, families and adults.

The park will be free to the public but you need to pay for parking pass. Thermea users won't have to pay for parking guaranteed.

everything he touches ends up with a thick coating of slime

The reason Doug Ford has shut it down is for the fact that he gets more for the land than he does for the building. It's a Real Estate game.

The corruption of the Canadian government on every level is deeply alarming. It doesn't matter what party is elected, the whole system is flawed and full of decay.

One of Ontario place's problems, and it's a problem for all of Canada, is that you can only use the outdoor facilities in June July and August. Kids are out of school for 8 weeks and if you don't go then you won't go at all. They used to show films in the Imax theater which was great (Jurassic park), but there was nothing else open on that huge piece of land. We watched the movie then drove home. Casino? Nope. Restaurant ? Nope. Shopping? Nope. Look at the list of people who ran Ontario. Dalton, whose biggest accomplishment was banning weed killer and the 'green belt', Kathleen, who stuck us with wind turbines, and crazy high electricity prices. And now Doug, who keeps giving money to giant corporations to make batteries. Why should anything be profitable? Ontario is a self enrichment program for politicians and developers.

When is the RCMP going to reveal the results of their Green Belt investigation?

It seems all these creeps are above the law in Canada. There just isn't much transparency or checks and balances.

Ontario used to seem a growing place. Now Ontario Place all broken stuff.

Doug Ford has always been a crook. Starting all the way back in the 80's when he was selling bricks of hash from his parent's house. Cars went in and out of the place on a daily like it was a oil change garage. His brother also routinely hung out with gangsters.

“The middle of nowhere” is an insult to all residents of Thorncliffe and Flemington Park. At a recent rally, a young girl spoke about how shocked and saddened she was to hear her home called that. And how a quick walk from her apartment was the Science Centre, a spot she regarded as a place of wonder. As a parent who relies on public transit, I can easily get there by public transit on a bus that regularly departs from Pape Station and it is also quickly accessible by car. Please don’t keep perpetuating that wrong info that is carelessly thrown around.

How ironic, he'll probably just tear it down and have shitty condos built by the lowest bidder. Toronto is slowly losing the character and charm it once had. The science center is a brutalist landmark and staple in science education.
