  1. The shit show of #DougFord & the Therme Spa at #OntarioPlace just keeps getting worse.

    Assessment of Therme Ontario Place bid cited Aecon as ‘construction partner,’ but no partnership existed
    An Aecon spokesperson said the two companies did discuss a potential collaboration at the time, but nothing was finalized.

  2. No funding for #OntarioScienceCentre repairs or to save #OntarioPlace, but yes to the private jet.
    People who vote Conservative at all levels really are the worst. Don't @ me with your "fiscal savings/spending" BS.

  7. I have no idea how this film came to be called
    H.G. Wells' The Shape of Things to Come but I will say how nice it was to see the old #Toronto #OntarioPlace as it was and especially the #BuckminsterFuller designed but sadly overbuilt (bucky said) dome, and, well, maybe I'd rather remember it destroyed by an evil megalomaniacal technocrat. #monsterdon material for sure

  8. #DougFord & the #ProvincialConservative's fake Canada Day message is a joke. Don't spew your 2-faced patriotism when you sell out #Canadian crown lands to an unwanted 95-year lease to a foreign country. Hypocrites, all of them.

  9. @Trillium Right! #DougFord is so conscientious, he will triple check the 95-yr lease he already signed with #Therme to make sure he dotted all the “i’s” before allowing #OntarioPlace to be decimated.

  10. About 700 people paid $10 a couple to watch North of Superior at the Ontario place Cinesphere, then celebrate New Year's Eve in Pod 1 on Dec 31st, 1971, 53 years ago today in Toronto. wholemap.com/Dec31 #OTD #Toronto #TorontoPhoto #OntarioPlace #NewYearsEve #HistoricPhoto

  11. The Auditor General released her 2024 annual report auditor.on.ca/en/content/annua. Topics covered include bombshell findings about #MZOs and Ontario Place as well as review of the government compliance with the Environmental Bill of Rights (#EBR).

  12. Sure we have a photo of the Crawford Street bridge in 1912, or a couple of photos of the Avenue Theatre at Eglinton in 1939, but here is a 46 year old photo of Sha Na Na performing live at the Ontario Place Forum on Aug 1st, 1978.

  16. CW: Ontario politics

    #ICYMI: #Ontario government shut down the #OntarioScienceCentre citing an engineering report that the building is unstable. An independent review* of the report found that the report did not recommend closure, and that the building's key exhibition areas could continue operating safely. The government seeks to move the science centre to Ontario place to build condos in its place.

    Send a letter to #DougFord 's government telling them to save science centre!

  17. You're a strange animal... 49 years ago tonight Gowan was playing in Toronto at the Ontario Place Forum, back on May 30th, 1985. Who did you see at the wholemap.com/Forum ? wholemap.com/May30

  18. I don't know what possessed me to go to Trillium Park today of all days. Oh well. There are still plenty of _Pardosa_ wolf spiders to be found, but the place belongs to the grass spiders (_Agelenopsis_) now.

    Many people mix up wolf and grass spiders; click through for comparison pictures and helpful alt text.

  19. Even a ‘good’ plan to privatize Ontario Place would be bad — and Doug Ford’s isn’t good

    "OPINION: It’s not just a fight about a former theme park or a potential spa. It’s a fight about the kind of city and province we want to be."
