Doug Ford defends decision to close Science Centre

- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- The premier says a news conference will be held to outline all of the issues that were identified at the attraction. The facility was abruptly closed last month due to concerns about aging roof panels. Premier Ford defended the move today, saying the findings were peer reviewed and shuttering the building was the only safe option.

I think the people of Ontario would be better off and would save more money if we closed Queens Park instead of the science Centre.
Now THAT might be a good location for a new Science Centre. 😅
They're spending millions fixing the building at Queens Park. Better he just sit in a port a potty to do his so called work for that it's worth.
@@angelwirelivecom this coming from the goof troop who voted for Wynne McGuinty Sousa.😂🤣🫵🤡
Agreed!
Yes!!!! Wonderful idea!
You lost me at "I want to sell off protected green space to my Developer buddies" Now I just hear blah, blah, blah with a hint of "If we move the science center my Developer buddies could buy that land too!!" Go away!!!
@@KindlyVegan they already have the adjacent land. He’s such a grifter
another opinion is the housing crisis and out of control immigration. they all come to ontario even if they started off somewhere else.
Right! Alcohol is far more important than housing rights and housing sustainability. I do wonder what will happen to the state of Ontario, Canada in 2030?
It's possible to walk and chew gum buddy.
Are you expecting taxpayers to buy you a home?
@@JessT-vg7ibMaybe no for him/her? 😅
The science center sucks, its in disrepair, nobody goes anymore and the displays /exhibits are so antiquated its not even funny. Its very long in the tooth and needs to be removed. They whole thing is an eyesore.
of course it is government get their cuts 1st. Government dont give a rats ass about the public lol
I’m ready to vote against Ford this time because of the science centre scandal. I voted for him last time and regret it very much.
that's cute that you still think voting matters.
Thank you for your service 🗽🇨🇦🗽,
By the ways in #Canada , have you heard about Pierre Poilievre , whose known as a Cu*t criminal, 12 reasons why pierre should see jail in this lifetime -
1. Ask him about the "Replacement worker scandal" when he was the shadow minister for JOB'S" in Ontario..Thousands of illegally terminated canadians at Amazon , Goodfood , Walmart replaced by #peepee 's donor human-trafficker buddies (Inder Jani, Raj, etc.)..The little bit*h #donutgirl pierre tried killing whistle-blowers, witnesses & victims who had whistle-blowed on his sinister crypto. Ponzi!! They went after women & families in their desperate bid to coverup the crimes!! #Coverup
2. He was doxxing the personal addresses of innocent women in Niagara falls without their #consent.
3. He illegally hijacked the P.A. system of a westjet flight to calgary (MID-AIR) and created a flight-risk by announcing false info. No wonder factory workers call him a fu*king stewardess.
4. The cu*t stays in a 19 room government paid Mansion & than on his own family properties charged innocent canadians above normal RENT.
5. CRYPTO ..Venezul*an #crypto & something to do with the #Ontario teachers pension fund loosing 95 million dollars.
6. University immigration scandal, connected with forced labor on his fu*king #apple orchards #coverup.
7. He swallows his spit like a bit*h on national Tv
8. Criminal cronyism
9. What was that news about jenni & pierre's extra-marital criminal jaunts behind anna's back?
10. Pierre & Friends Co-ordinated their social media tweets & posts in order to instigate innocent canadians during the illegal occupation in Feb'2022.Frontline, #police #officers were attacked by goons associated with Pierre Poilievre 🤬
11. Whats with pierre's face?? The factory workers call him "Cum Eyes" for a fu*king reason.
12. Axe the tax Bast*rd paid #ZERO tax on his illegal crypto dealings..Fu*king Charlatan
I regret it because he is a damn liberal and gers on his knees for the Fairy Princess destroying canada
Never voted but he tricked us all! Let's vote him out!

@dawsonholdsworth5371 why? It happened. At his daughter's wedding.
@@womenlifefreedom2024 And what happened from that.
Nothing, he wasn't charged with an ethics violation. His housing minister was for giving insider information to the developers, and he was quickly removed from his position and Ford reverse course on the file.
It just looks like anyone who has offense with Ford always questions him while he is saying no, you'll spoil your dinner.
You shouldn't be closing it till these people have another science center to work at
Hullo, the building is unsafe for the public to be in!
@jamesmecher6993 yes I did have a think. I remember an ex did asbestos removal and it's way safer and cheaper to tare it down. We shouldn't be risking peoples health when it comes to asbestos anymore. I've know about 5 people who have died from lung cancer from asbestos exposure.
@@jamesmecher6993The damaged roof isn’t over an exhibit. The area could be fixed or put off limits without affecting the exhibits. Let alone the architectural company said closing the science centre was unnecessary and offered to fix it for free. Let alone many other wealthy Canadian offered to pay for it. It’s Ford greed. Nothing else.
@@jamesmecher6993hey bot, did you read the safety assessment? They said it was safe and they had until Halloween this year to fix the damage. Immediate closure was not called for.
Did the Science Centre roof collapse today after the torrential downpour we had?
they called it 100% safe 100% effective
Ceo of lcbo should be fired, it's a government run business they should have no CEOs
Why the $&@4 do we need Ford as a CEO then?
Ford Land selling is a government run business.
@@KT3E you are right.
It should be a privately run business. With no legislated monopoly forcing the rest of the private market to be business with it.
Selling boze in corner stores is stupid as is closing the Science Center because it needs some work on the roof. Nobody wants to go to Ontario Place to attend the Science Center. Fix the hospitals, find more Doctors and nurses instead of playing stupid games.
Selling booze in corner stores is how it's done in the entire alcohol drinking world outside ontario. Have you ever travelled outside the province of ontario?
@@leafyutube Selling booze in corner stores is not going to solve any problems. It will only cause other problems. We don't have to follow along blindly behind everybody else. There are enough places now to buy booze. Alcohol is not healthy and has many negative influences on society. No need to make it more available.
@@leafyutube - it's MARGINAL, in a market that is slowly shrinking. As someone who likes the occasional drink, making available booze in the "corner store" is of MINOR benefit and helps the majority of Ontarians very little, especially when you consider the additional expense of public money used to break a contract that was about to expire in a couple of years anyway.
agreed
They also eat snakes, dogs and cats in other countries. Should we emulate them? Did you finish high school? What a silly statement. Walmart in the USA sells guns. Should we do it here too? Your so called travel was a waste if this was the best you got out of it. Pathetic!
Hi folks! Thank you for all your support but I will do what I want, despite what the population wants. Even if everyone of you told me personally on my personal phone that you want the Science Centre left alone, I will still do what I want.
And friends- we need more access to beer. As promised, this is my top priority. I will make sure that you can drink anytime, anywhere. ….but don’t drink too much that you need to access healthcare, cuz it ain’t happening.
This comes from the guy who wanted to close libraries .
Be aware . More things will get close.
Bro have you ever been to a library. They are dead. People who literally don't use this shit cry about losing it. NO ONE IS THERE! The internet killed the library. Smart Phones killed the library. Now even a refugee fresh off the plane can get cell phones for them and their children because they literally giving the shit away with plans now. I see refugees have better phones that regular Canadians. DO I think we need to close all of them? No, some are in use like the Reference Library. But most are ghost towns now because technology has moved past libraries. I hate losers who can't see where the future is going and hold on to worthless relics! The cost to society is astounding but for your nostalgia, you just want to see a building. Time to move on to the future! Go be a loser in some other country!
Good the tax payers have no more money to give
Good, Liberals need to learn budgets don't balance themselves.
Yup. The zoo is next.
Just to add something .
In Brasil in the Engenho e Senzalas ,schools and libraries most of the time were not permited. But bars and place to sell alcool was always facilitaed.
Look very close to the
First Nations reserves in Canada.
And look where this guy is taking us.
The land where the science center stood will be awarded to his builders FRIENDS.
Put a brand new science center in its place.
At the same location
theyve known about those issues for decades. theres no way its suddenly unsafe now. but im sure they all pushed it off until the end. 30 years from now well have a new one. since it takes ridiculously long to build here and the quality isnt even good anymore.
@@RabidPanda the contractor offered to fix it for free I heard
@@SnowWhite-hr4ho sweet, now where was this mystery doner 4 years ago???
That doner is just like a politician; they only act when it benefits them.

Is that an attempt at discrediting?
Rob Ford was a great no- holds bar mayor who went up against city redundancy and privilege as an outsider saying why do people make $100k+ need more benefits beyond their pay cheque's.
Doug isn't Rob.
But Doug is still very authentic. And whiling to pull back on implemented policies to get back to meeting status quote.
Without it being in an election cycle.
I think your issue with them is they weren't for special interest groups and unions.
Define authentic?
Another conspiracy theorist liberal.
some of his stuff doesnt make sense at first glance. but if you do a little bit of thinking and research. these moves with corner store beer and greenbelt are because of larger issues. they definitely botched the science center. but im sure every single goverrnment before didnt care about it either. asbestos didnt just get put there 4 years ago. theres currently a weed store everywhere. probably the most unproductive mainstream drug ive tried. although everyone has what works for them and what doesnt.
@@dawsonholdsworth5371 Haha, a privileged going against the privileged. Don't make me laugh. He had daddy's money to fall back on.

The boozers are his base. So he’s just playing for them. No sober people raised right with common sense will vote for this fumbling troll. In the so called educated pool of conservatives in Ontario , this joker was the best they could come up with. Now tell me conservatives have any sense looking at this buffoon. Hate is the only fuel in the conservative tanks nothing else. And they expect their followers to be equally hateful instead of thoughtful.
I think they should keep it going, it was an iconic building
fix the damn roof
In 5 years time there won't be any LCBO stores they won't exist..
That’s his plan. One of his backers wants a piece of the pie. So he’s destroying Lcbo for them. And his illiterate minions believe he cares about Ontario workers. He doesn’t and they know it. They just don’t care about other Canadians. As long as their buffoon is in charge.
@@gulfy09 awesome and we will be better for it. It's a monopoly! We overpay so much because there is no competition. It's a fat and lazy bureaucratic piece of trash now where from the frontline to the CEO, everyone is all overpaid. The private sector does a much better job at a cheaper price and honestly it doesn't matter as we have seen because teens for decades in Canada have been getting alcohol if they so chose and they did because no one I knew started drinking at 19. Very few ever said I am going to wait until I turn 19 for my first sip. Sorry now how it works. Drug use has always been pervasive in Ontario for the 4 decades I have been here from birth going on 5.
Science Centre, Ontario Place Spa & parking lot for a Concrete Waterfront, Hwy 413, Greenbelt, Service Ont. All decisions not in the public interest. Question is... in who's benefit are these actions?
The people are going to benefit from all of this the socialist agenda is to destroy our economy and country no wonder nothing gets accomplished?
$elf serving politician.
Not us ... Just buddies of Ford. Corrupt AF.
The science center should be essential. Hopefully Ford keeps the promise to revamp and reopen it. The science center, also, is essential to education. I truly hope at least, unlike the waste of campaigning for LCBO, that the Science Center reopens.
People are not stupid! We see all what is going on. The government people are above the law!
How did we end up with such a grifter as premier?
Conservative voters.
Because of the science center and reducing the monopoly the LCBO has on alcohol sales?
Do you remember the windmill and hydro one debacle under Wynne.
Or Ontario having the highest non-sovereign debt in the whole world?
Not a perfect Premier. But he is far from the worst
Stop whatever you are smoking . Has the sovereign debt been solved? Has ford balanced the budget? Has anything he’s done been better than Wynn? Only if you think in small terms. Aside from the attacks on Wynn which was amplified by the post media group newspaper and channels , on paper wynn was 10 times better than Doug ford. I know you cannot read . But consult someone who can read the real data. They’ll tell you that. Do you think Ontario hydro under Wynn cost Ontario billion plus? Ford in one silly deal has cost the province twice that in a sitting.
We ended up with this guy because people did not turn out to vote. Record lowest turnout vote in history.
So you’d rather he puts more money into Galen’s pockets for grocery store booze? Let’s see how well that turns out 😂
"The city owns the land that the Science Centre sits on, they can choose to do whatever they want with it, so long as it's anything EXCEPT another Science Centre"
Hmm. So we can do whatever we want, except whatever you say?
It cost 500 million to fix the science centre guess how much it costed him to privatize alcohol
How much ?
@@jumbome7420 1-2biliion$
a few companies offered to repair the centre for no cost to taxpayers…. this is sad
Government have Toronto 500 million for building new homes....Ford has some building buddies with large pockets...Science center is 90 Acres ...Perfect for Condos in the billions of profit....And you cant build condos at ontario place...This is why he is talking about LCBO And not the real reason ...
@@freakyflow lol yea none of that is true liberal harder
Doug Ford has met with "hundreds of front-line workers" at the LCBO. Must be a heavy drinker.
He actually doesn’t drink. Has a long family history of alcohol abuse.
There are no independent grocery stores, doug! And for the science center....did u sell the land to a developer?
i hope so because we need more homes
@ryanhill8567 Yeah, after I thought about the asbestos issue, it is a health and safety risk for workers repairing it. And I just want it to be affordable homes. Geared to income . I'm a single mom of two, and I'm homeless (living with family), and I can't afford anything. I don't see my kids because of work, and I still can't get a place.
Toronto leases the land Science Centre sits on. I think it was a 99 year lease, so there's another 30 or 40 years left.
The province apparently promised to create 2000 parking spots to the spa that's going into Ontario Place. There was a story speculating those parking spots would be part of the new Science Centre foundation to hide the cost. Who knows. It could be fun to see them build an underground parking lot on the edge of the lake. It's not impossible, but hearing about the leaking foundations in a few Eglinton Crosstown stations, I'm not completely confident it won't have problems.
@georgejones8784 yes!! That would be interesting! Especially with "rising water levels" not sure how long that would take.
@@georgejones8784 That deal at Ontario Place... not all the information was given to the voters. The parking lot was part of the deal with the spa, but the cost of building the parking structure does not include the tunnels from the parking lot to various areas on the property. It's in the drawings. Once again Ford wasn't forthcoming with all the facts, of course.
Why didn't the reporter push back on her comparison to the schools being unsafe for the children? Did he ever side swipe that question.
He is concerned for students visiting the Science Center, but doesn't care about them at their own schools. priceless politics. Because their is no money in it for him with the schools. So obvious.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Something doesn’t add up….he says RTD is so small in sales but he’s willing to let the deal die because of it???? Craziness 🤦♂️

What is the difference Conservative or Liberal ?? Do Ontarians Have any Say on What Happens in Ontario ?? Who are D.
Fords Friends at ""Therme"" as They Bought ""Deco"" from Ford Family and are Now taking over The Science Centre
When Will The Ontarians Taxes Go Up to Pay for this decision ???
i dont think ford has understood science since junior high
he understands kickbacks real well though 😄
he is reading off a teleprompter; can't even speak from the heart and original thought.
So why did the 1B$ include 375M$ earmarked for ‘Lost Income’ for the LCBO? What happens down the road? There will continue to be a deficit & Ford will be long gone.
Why doesn’t he have an Interactive Map of Doctors available or all the Emergency rooms they’ve closed? #DougFraud
Another green belt initiative of Ford for his developer friends. Auditor General please have a look on this too..
What a nightmare this place has become and with no sign of stopping!!
one of the dumbest premiers in the history of Ontario. Him and Trudeau, both in the same bucket.
Back in the day children were the priority, one less learning experience for school children to inspire and enjoy, sounds like making money is more important .. and selling booz in the corner store is a big mistake. guess the broken mental health care system will be kept very busy .
You stated the children are were a priority they still if they say the building is not safe that’s it and if someone got hurt due to what’s going on it’s called liability and if they were found guilty it would cost us a fortune and lose of life?
Yes but to the uneducated buffoon masquerading as a premiere , children ought not to be educated. Take a look at his family . They have no value for education so the orange sphincter doesn’t either. A parking lot is wotk more to him than a child’s education.
@@briancole5075no one said the building wasn't safe. The assessment recommended renovations before Halloween 2024, and did not suggest closure.
You can judge a society on how it treats its most vulnerable. How is Ontario doing?
Some schools in Ontario dont even have air conditioning durine heat waves, but policy makers are interested in selling booze at every street corner. Already addictive substances are legalized and available at evry nook and cranny
thank god we won't get things like this with pierre! that guy will be totally on the level!
In your dreams. Same cheek of the same arse. Pierre has no ideas or plans . Wants power for status . Not qualified to run a corner shop, Milei in Argentina is a cut out of polirvre. Same tosh tinged with hatred.
😂
It's another real estate play to benefit his friends.
Huge bag of dirt!!!
STORE MANAGERS MAKING 220K A YEAR ???? BYE BYE LCBO GOOD WORK FORD
So what about the schools?
@marshferguson4737
What about them?
How does it make sense to stop at just Alcohol sales, seeing as you believe it's justified because money can be pulled out of it for government purposes.
The government should take control of all distribution of everything then.
Crazy people
@dawsonholdsworth5371 Well, I'm not crazy first of all. It's not a good conversation starter. People commenting negatively and calling people names online is passive-aggressive. I meant what about taking the asbestos out of the schools and building new ones. If it's such a problem for the science center, then it should be a problem for the schools. Good talk, pal!
@@marshferguson4737 children can’t vote so their safety and education is not important
We don't speak French in Ontario 😂 omg I love how they try to make a point that all Canadians should speak French! I know my basics and my accent is good. I can read French but I can't follow speaking.
Cassettes, 8-tracks, VCR tapes and lcbo employees.
DOUGIE IS HIGH ON BEER......TOP PRIORIETY
When’s the conflict of interest trial for ford? Largest in history
I'd rather them in the stores, Way handier, way cheaper, Better hours, Way more locations!!. LCBO has expensive stores, expensive staff, expensive magazines, etc, everything about the LCBO adds to the cost Oh and upper management making over $413,000/yr Yeah right, I would rather cut the waste and give back to small shops that struggle against the big box stores.
Ford's policy wrong for giving more opportunity to big stores liquors and beers
Regarding job security. Once beer started being sold in grocery stores, we had countless beer stores close. 7000 people lost their jobs I believe. Ford government in 2023 started with the beer stores and I said he will be doing LCBO next and here it is. For the younger generation it's easier to buy your alcohol in your local store or grocer. ID checking is a joke. I'm 5 years sober so I don't care anymore. I just worry about the lost dividends to the province for essential services.
Closed a science center for this? Lol
The employees don't want privatization! He doesn't address that.
so do we let employees of lcbo dictate whats good for the province .. why should the lcbo have a monopoly on sales of alcohol
We should just privatize everything then?
Why stop at alcohol?
Tim hortons staff doesn't dictate the sale of coffee in Canada.
Why should LCBO workers?
Are u mad?
Why did they renovate and build an entire new entrance way and shuttle system if they wanted to move it to the waterfront?? Who are you protecting Doug
if the building of science centre is the issue. why barricade the whole land? i mean the parking lots are not safe too?
It's crazy how none of these reporters are grilling him on the smell of corruption with Ontario place, the greenbelt, and the science centre lmao.
RE: Personal Cell Phone use. No "business" on personal cellphone is the standard. Why is Ford permitted to operate with different rules? I trust the investigation into the Greenbelt scandall will have subpoenaed his personal cellphone records - since he did not use his office cellphone for a long time just prior to the scandal breaking.
Ford claims his personal calls must remain personal, but using his personal phone for business when he knows government business is open for public review is a violation of ethics, and when his personal phone records are subpoenaed - those "personal" calls will be in view of the courts. That is a violation of the trust of secrecy he claims to have offered those who spoke with him - be they public, of corporate leaders.
We're "friends" when he gets what he wants. Citizens of Ontario deserve better.
The Science Centre was closed as the Ontario Place location needs an underground parking lot. Look into it. However, I tend to think a combo of an open Ontario Place (yes the spa too) and Science Centre is perhaps a way to make a profit. The old Ontario Place NEVER did. So, I am not going to slag Ford for making the move. The main issue with the Science Centre is it's poor location for tourism. It's a great place, and yes the new one will be smaller. But the province must make the Ontario Place site work, and make sustained profits, not a new money pit.
The Fords should not have been allowed into politics in the first place. Rob abused his power as mayor to do illicit activities and let Toronto fall into despair which ultimately led to his demise. Doug may not be like his brother but I believe he's making similarly bad decisions as Rob did.
Shut it all down period.
Famous for fixing everything that isn't broken.
he is all about alchohol.. as its the main priority in life and survival
watching this brings me to the irony of rob ford saying his brother would be premier one day and councilors laughing at him
Any place you work you show up on time and do your job you don’t need a union
Lmao lobotomized veggie.
This guy needs to go. As in the same way that his brother did.
IT IS *UNREAL* HOW MUCH IS *CONSTANTLY* TAKEN AWAY FROM OUR *CHILDREN* !!!
Time for this guy to go. Next election let's make sure EVERYONE gets out and votes so we can get this clown outta office! We don't need beer at corner stores - we need housing and health care!! This guy's priorities are so messed up it's insane!
His priorities are making himself and his friends and his family wealthy. They are perfectly normal for corrupt greedy P'es of S.
I don't see what the resistance is for a new science center.
That place is run down and dingy...
The Ontario place have been a waste of prime water front property.
Now he is going to build new!!
I think it's a great idea.
For anyone new to the internet, this is a bot.
Doug Ford: "Look. It was either close the science center, or give up my cheesecake budget. It was an easy decision for me. I believe it was the right decision and I stand by it.".
He has it all planned/ new science center// at what cost does it come..
It will cost more then fixing the current one that’s for sure. The current estimates the Ford government has cited is inflated for repaired and under estimated on the costs of a new one.
Leave the alcohol where it belongs in the lcbo and brewers retail. Put warning labels on the bottles, even bottled water has to have labels on them.
He's not going to let anyone help fix the Science Centre because he needs to build condos. Condos built by all his buddies that couldn't build on the Green Belt.
nowhere in the world does such a thing as the LCBO exist.
But any wish they had it. It is a jewel in Ontario's crown $2.5 billion last year and the biggest single buyer of wine in the world. Destroying it is stupid beyond belief - except with Ford everything is stupid.
@@sirhch1 Why? Canadians will still consume / buy the same quantity. Same tax revenue.
@@sirhch1Overpaid employees, overtaxed drinks, they're annoying and ask for donations.
I have no problems buying alcohol from Walmart
Buying alcohol from Walmart so the profits will go to Arkansas? Your points are all out of petty jealousies. If you think buying wine ar Walmart is the same as lcbo then you are illiterate.
@@dondiegodeazambuja9410 What does my literacy have to do with my thoughts on the LCBO monopoly? Your statement is illogical.
The science center was boring when I was 10. LCBO sucks. I'd much rather buy alcohol from Walmart or Sobeys. At least they don't hassle me for donations 🙄
guys listen, we had to sell the land to developers..and to get a huge profit out of it. you can't allow such valuable land to sit idly and produce nothing of benefit to society.
We do not need any more choices to purchase alcohol, but maybe getting drunk and high on legal pot will help us forget our more important problems.
Best decision a politician ever made. I'm just in awe about this. That's where politicians put their idiot nephews.
I'm not interested in alcohol sales. I'm interested in lower housing and grocery costs. What are you doing about that Dougy?
I'm looking forward to the new science centre. I was recently at the old one before it closed, and it was looking it's age. More like walking through a time warp to the eighties.
It's going to be about half the size
Renovate the current one. Building a smaller one will be worse than renovating it. It’s looks it age because the Provence hasn’t kept up with funding. You stop fixing something because it will start looking worse. Fix it, not replace with a worse facility.
1. People had no problem getting access to alcohol products before
2. The LCBO is an arm of the government, so why is it going on strike with itself?
3. Making a deal with taxpayer money to pay itself more, under the guise of wage increases for an already outdated business model.
4. Advertising options which undermine the said deal.
5. The juxtaposition of “buy alcohol” with “we closed a major cultural and educational facility for no good reason”
What are you people doing?
There’s no defence. Absolutely heartbreaking.
If I remember correctly Saskatchewan’s alcohol prices went up when they privatized it.
Well, the LCBO I have a beef with them and the beef is the government should've hired handicap people to work there, pay them and have decent wage and they should work there. We don't need union there and we don't need them to make all kinds of money in this and this is a service dirt creating a service. If the government would put handicap people working there it would be just fine I wouldn't I wouldn't cry about itbut because you have people that are striking and would demand more money and dirt dirt, how old are you doing is a service just like the guy at the grocery store you put a Equipo para person there handicap person and you'll do just as well job so if Rob Ford decides to shut them down and put the LCBO in a corner stores, I am with him 100% and I'm sure that there's other Canadians are agreeing with me
Just checking?We are not going to allow under age sex workers to buy nuclear weapons right? I'm drawing the line on that one
bet he still do drugs
One reporter mentioned the LCBO returns about $2.5 billion (profits) to the Province. 25 or so years ago, when there was a push to sell the LCBO, I believe it was VALUED around $2 billion. Sounds like it was a good decision not to sell!
"Let me be clear." Isn't that a Liberal saying?! Yes.. Doug is pretty much a Liberal.
Any place built around the same time frame will expect government support....hope CN Tower doesn't move to new Ontario Place in 4 yrs too.
Closing an unsafe building is a right decision. Are those peoples, protesting ones and opposition parties, against it willing to take all the RESPONSIBILITY for any INJURY or DEATH if the building COLLAPSES. Simple example is if your car broke down, you probably buy a new one if cost too much to fix it.....
Now we got drunks coming into our grocery stores
Guess what? Drunks have been walking among everyone for years.

@@StuntDonk Sorry Karen, Liberal yuppies get to deal with it too now. :D
@@CanadianForPutin2.0 I think you don't know what a Yuppie is?
Build the biggest science centre in the world at the Ontario Place site . Never mind the resort . The biggest science centre in Canada isn't saying much .Why not build the biggest in the world . We have the land . Toronto is a world class city and having the biggest science centre in the world would be huge , not only for the people of Toronto but for tourists as well . Build housing at the old science centre site . It's a win win .
Ontario Place will be a smaller and more expensive Science Centre than if the current building is fixed and reopened.
7% over 3 years? 7% doesnt keep up with inflation in 1 year in canada....
When will Ontario stop voting against their own best interest?
Doug Ford needs to go.
these same reporters would be the first to critisize Doug if the roof collapsed on a bunch of kids
The damaged roof area isn’t over a exhibit and could easily be fixed or put off limits with out impacting the exhibits. Ford want to close to put money in his personal pocket. It’s corruption and greed hands down.
If you read the safety assessment you would see that the damage was nowhere near necessitating immediate closure. They recommended repair before 2024, and no closures.
Ford needs to go! Where do the profits go from convenience store sales of alcohol?
How are government assessments right and the regular people who have done their own assessments wrong. Who is lying
What will be that ehibit and state of art center.
what "frontline workers" have you talked to ford?
name 3.
I requested a campaign sign like 3 years ago and you still haven't even had a secretary send me one ffs >.>
I go to the same synogogues as some of the investors that will profit big off of timbit Ford's decisions
thank you for your pointless remark. What does this have to do with anything but you?
Mmmmm Timbits, my favorite Indian food
@@RahRan123 we all know that every one of your accusations is an admission of guilt
