Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Mar 8

Doug Ford muses about another multi-billion dollar project that no one asked for. He suggested filling in part of Lake Ontario to build a brand new $2B+ convention centre near his mega-spa, formerly Ontario Place. I'm not sure if he's desperate to drive as much foot traffic as possible to the spa which is pretty much guaranteed to lose money. That's why the condemned Science Centre, with the very unsafe roof that didn't collapse after record snowfall this winter, is being moved to the mega-spa location. School buses can soon drop off kids at the new Science Centre, and the bus driver and teachers can get a facial.
There is a potential upside to this latest Ford fever dream. Lake Ontario is one of the deepest of the Great Lakes, meaning a lot of fill will be needed. But there's a proposal for a tunnel under Highway 401 and all that dirt has to go somewhere.

“I work at the Science Centre. It is totally safe. There’s no need to put a fence around it” — science centre workers challenge Ford’s story about the sudden #OntarioScienceCentre closure. Add your name if you agree; https://Kristynwongtam.ca/sciencecentre #OnPoli #SaveTheScienceCentre #SaveOSC

@c_9 Could have repaired the existing building instead. Better use of money, but it fails to line the pockets of developer buddies.#savethesciencecentre #sciencecentre

Oh, today I saw a post that made perfect sense:

Ford is using the Science Centre as a pretext for building the massive, publicly-funded waterfront Therme Spa parking facility.

Uh-huh. Yep. 😤

Great turnout this afternoon for a weekday rally, urging the Ontario government to save Ontario Place by cancelling the lease with Therme Spa, and also giving up on the ridiculous idea to move the Science Centre.
