This article claims the Darlington refurbishment project, often praised as an example of Ontario nuclear projects being on time and on budget, is actually behind and over budget (by about $3.3B).

When I checked the sources of this org's published fact sheet (https://euzvzapheqq.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Darlington-Refurbishment-Report.pdf) though, which they're basing these claims on, it only lists one third party source other than Global News and the Ontario government: "Ontario Energy Board Docket No. EB-2025-0297".

I understand that the Ontario Energy Board can be considered an authoritative source, but it's odd that no other potential sources, like news orgs, have spoken out about the alleged delays and cost overruns.

Can anyone with nuclear energy expertise weigh in on this? Are these claims legit?

Lecce’s nuclear spin – and the $3.3 billion detail he forgot to mention

Stephen Lecce says Darlington was “on budget & ahead of schedule.” OPG’s own filings say it’s at least 25% over budget and needs 6 more years. The truth matters. #onpoli #ontarionews

One of the things I've struggled with while #adulting is the constant feeling of grieving relationships that fade in and out over time.

The parent groups, the coach/teacher groups, the play date and parenting groups, the neighbours, the local shop workers, the nearby restaurant staff. As time marches on, circumstances change, and so do the people. Those that were once familiar slowly become strangers or simply disappear.

Grief, but not just as your elderly family age and die. But that day-to-day grief when relationships fade away.

I was at the Scarborough Bluffs beach today. The entire 1-km-long 100-meter-wide beach is covered with cabbage-sized frozen snowballs. Must have happened during the snowstorm. Does any one know the science behind how this happened? #meteorology #cryosphere #TorontoWeather #greatlakes #lakeontario #hydrology
Does anyone know why NoFrills has been selling Olympic Organic Yogurt for weeks and weeks for $1? Does this have something to do with Supply Management? Every time I go there I buy 5 tubs thinking it's my lucky day, but then they are still there the next time with a new expiry date. #Canada #Groceries
