Innocuous In Innisfil Has MovedMar 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.

Maybe he can put at at the end of the Island Airport runway he also wants to expand with fill?

Or right next to the spa where the sewer outflow is?

Or along the shore at High Park — so he can ruin another great piece of Toronto at the same time.

To save money he can borrow the plans for Trump's gold ballroom and just make them biglier.

I wanna know where my giant ferris wheel is. 15 years ago Councilor Doug Ford promised us the world's biggest ferris wheel on the waterfront. Where's my wheel Doug?
