    Why does everything have to be on the lake? Unless he wants to fix the highways in and out of downtown Toronto i will avoid downtown as long as i live.

    Great video that illustrates how Irving is a big fish in a small pond and how this holds back the province's potential!

    This was my immediate thought. So bizarre that it was instantly closed forever. I’m sure it could be repaired and brought back to code and safety standards. Ontario Place is a travesty. That should be a wonderful urban park for everyone, not a damn mega spa. Ford is desperate to get land into the hands of his developer buddies. He wants the green belt and whatever prime land he can get his hands on.

    I'd call Doug Slim Shady but only half that name fits. Haven't we learnt from the green belt debacle that he can't be trusted to do what's right for the people and his true loyalty is to his developer buddies? This stinks to high heaven and I only wish the OPP would get off their asses and charge him for the green belt land scheme. The auditor general gave them all the evidence they need. What are they waiting for?

    Ontario Place & Science Centre were operating at it's peak during a time when there used to be this thing in Toronto called mixed-income neighbourhoods, where people of all socio-income levels would intermingle. The closure of these institutions isnt 'bout DOFO per se, rather a complete gutting of the economic system. The closure is Govt corruption only in so far that Govts are fully corrupted by the profit mindset. The people who cry against encroaching "socialism" (notwithstanding the irony of calling liberals "socialists") are also the ones politically support what MLK realized about western democracy long ago, "Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the rest of us".

    People need to remember that all govt parties have their interest groups and the govt in power works for them and NOT FOR YOU. Doug Ford privatizing healthcare was about his interest groups. Elections are not about the voter, it’s about the corruption parties you are forced to elect and which corruption you prefer

    I confess, I really don’t care that much about either the Science Center or Ontario Place. But I do care about get-rich scams and given the latest Green Belt fiasco I think I smell a few rats. Under the guise of more housing for Trudeau’s immigration policies, Ford and his next door real developer buddies intend to make each other rich. Why else would the Ontario provincial government pass legislation exempting them from environmental studies on provincial lands? Why else map out Ontario Place for a ‘spa’ when there are already two in that area. I grant that the waterfront, including Ontario Place are losing propositions, so if you can’t build housing there why not turn it into green space for a city park and cultural center? If there is enough money to rebuild that area then there is enough to repair the Science Center and develop that overgrown parking lot at Ontario Place. No my fellow citizens, I smell some rats.

    Doug Ford has no concern for Ontarians, just his developer friends. Add this backroom deal to all the developers who bought land around his useless 413 highway. Meanwhile schools, hospitals and things real Ontarians need get less funding. Why because he hasn’t figured out how to profit from that yet.

    I think Irving provides a necessary service. I think they donate a lot of money to the surrounding communities. It's the same shit they tried with Gates. Stir up drama get their targets to sound extreme while they got their proof already lined up. Thing with Gates is Microsoft was indeed securing military contracts but I believe that was after Gates left

    Conservatives never build anything worthwhile. The corruption and bribes are the only point. Everything else is afterthought. Cheap labour, knockoff engineering, and materials several grades less that safety standards demand. Conservatives are examples of capitalist parasites ruining what they buy.
