Reason #18(b) why #FordMustGo
For the sake of adding credibility to a personal vanity project, the mega spa, Ford wants to demolish an iconic building designed by a world-famous Canadian architect. A building that was a gift to the city and an attraction that was groundbreaking in North America when it opened. I suspect the building will be saved, making the killing of the Ontario Science Centre that much worse.

Ford Government just issued an RFP looking for commercial real estate space for a temporary Science Centre. This will end up costing more than fixing the roof and properly funding the attraction. Governments estimates for repairs are reported to be exaggerated and out of touch with engineering experts. Ford really needs the Science Centre to be relocated to Ontario Place to prop up traffic for that spa.

"Chow is the first person of colour to be elected Torontoβs mayor. In an exclusive interview with Canada's National Observer, she shared insights into her personal journey as a climate advocate, her vision for a sustainable Toronto, the dispute with Ontario Premier Doug Ford over Ontario Place and other challenges lying ahead."

To take serious action to slow or reverse climate change, it will take renewed investment in public transit from all levels of government. It was great to sit down with the National Observer to discuss what action is needed. Read more: https://www.nationalobserver.com/2023/12/19/news/great-green-dreams-olivia-chow

(They want to cut down, any day, 800 mature trees in a public park, to make way for a parking garage for a private spa. Seriously, ffs.)
