GGLast night, #DougFord and his #Ontario Place tsarina finally “got it done.” Under cover of darkness, heavy machinery began levelling the entire stand of 850 mature trees on the West Island...clearing public waterfront parkland for a private spa nobody wants...to fulfill a secret century-long deal with a Austrian waterpark developer.
The secret 100-year lease with the Austrian spa company that #DougFord has signed would cost $30-million to kill, if done in the next few months.
👉 But will be almost impossible to cancel once construction is under way, requiring a 15 year wait and hundreds of millions.
This is a terrible deal for the people of #Ontario. No wonder the Ford #Conservative govt refused to release the details until it was too late to stop the deal.
Martin from Toronto@gemelliz This man is making it difficult for me not to swear. And... how does this happen? Don't we have elected people that are supposed to stop this sort of thing? I mean, he's not alone.
@mcourcel Who though?
#DougFord has a huge majority govt with a sycophantic caucus. No whistleblowers in that gang.
Legislature has been shut for MONTHS.
Something shady? Even the OPP won't touch Ford. And the RCMP are quiet.
Meanwhile, Ford runs non-stop, taxpayer-funded, beautifully photographed commercials telling Ontario that he's doing a bang-up job.
Many Ontarian's believe what they hear & haven't yet noticed anything wrong. 🤷

@gemelliz Yeah, I don't get it either! Maybe we can convince a few more bees to enter his gullet? Because, he did say there was lots of room in there.
