"It's been one year - June 21, 2024 - since Doug Ford's fake news that the OSC's roof was falling."
The Ontario Science Centre (OSC) needs your support! #DougFord wants to destroy it.
If you can be in Toronto on June 22 - please come out and support the cause to help keep this beautiful jewel alive! -
This is decision based evidence making by the government.

Ontario folks! Help save the Ontario Science Centre!
Please take the time to send a message to the candidates expressing the role this will play in where you place your vote!
And please go out and vote, because a turn out like last time is exactly what emboldens spoiled rich kids like Ford to give our tax dollars to their rich friends' private hospitals, and to the construction of fancy spas nobody asked for.

Just checked my voter registration info at elections.on.ca -- I'm there, so I can vote in this pointless election Feb. 27.
Some questions for your candidates: What's happening with #Metrolinx? How did a half million dollar roof repair cause the #OntarioScienceCentre to be closed down? Who thought spending a billion dollars putting a spa at #OntarioPlace was a good idea?
Fiscal responsibility? Ridiculous.

How much is Dougie's luxury Austrian spa in #Toronto going to cost you? (Toronto doesn't want it either).
#ThunderBay $24 million, #Sudbury $14 million, #Timmins $12 million, #Ottawa $157 million, #Kingston $19 million, #Hamilton $88 million, #LondonCanada $65 million #Windsor $65 millionWhat could your community do with millions of dollars?

"They were never given a rational explanation for closing the building. Architects argued it was safe to keep open. The engineering report said as much. People had offered to pay for the repairs..."
The Killing of the Science Centre

The Killing of the Science Centre
The 55-year old museum shuttered without warning one Friday in June. Then devastated staff were given four months to dismantle it. A former employee on the last days of a beloved institution.

Well isn't this unsurprising: Doug Ford's staff spent over 10 days planning their fake Ontario Science Centre emergency messaging.
Global News: "The Ford government’s controversial decision to permanently close the Ontario Science Centre was made at least one week before employees and the public were informed, Global News has learned, raising questions over why it was shuttered so urgently at the beginning of the summer."

Premier #DougFord combined the Ministry of Legislative Affairs (responsible for Queen's Park Restoration, exempt from FOI) and Ministry of Infrastructure. Previously, Minister of Legislative Affairs was Paul Calandra who cleaned up corruption in the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing after Steve Clark resigned. The Minister of Infrastructure remains Kinga Surma, responsible for the #OntarioPlace and #OntarioScienceCentre scandal. https://www.ontario.ca/orders-in-council/oc-11712024

So disappointing.
"Fewer exhibitions, missing feature zones, decimated education areas: a new science centre at Ontario Place would be a shadow of the current Ontario Science Centre."
- No more rainforest
- Double the walking distance
- Overall area reduced 50%
- Entry and visitor amenities shrink 43%
- Education spaces shrink 88%
- 18-56% reduction in dedicated exhibition areasElsa Lam in Canadian Architect: https://www.canadianarchitect.com/what-would-a-science-centre-at-ontario-place-look-like/

Speaking of flailing, apparently now the intersection of Don Mills and Eglinton, with an almost-open rapid transit line (Line 5 Crosstown) and a second rapid transit line under construction which Doug Ford added (Ontario Line) is … just a sleepy little suburb that nobody goes to?
Doug is flailing. Keep pushing.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford continues to mislead the public about engineering reports reviewed by multiple firms:
"Yes, there are serious deficiencies in the roof that need to be addressed urgently. But the report simply does not say what the government wants it to: that it had no other choice but to shut the science centre down immediately." - @jm_mcgrath

@c_9 #kingFord is applying the old adage - When you don't want to do something, any excuse will do.
They don't want to fix the #OntarioScienceCentre because they have plans for the land that will make $$$ for their cronies.
All they have to do is get rid of the building ... and they've proven it doesn't matter how much it costs the taxpayers for the Cons to have it their way. -
