Reason #37 why ##FordMustGo
One important section of the Auditor General's report on the #MegaSpa was not well covered by the mainstream media. The report stated that Infrastructure Ontario signed the 95 year lease without completing a thorough financial review of Therme. Audited financial statements of Therme Group in 2019 & 2020 showed they were losing money and had a market value of $1.46M. No red flags there...

Reason #36 why ##FordMustGo
The Auditor General of Ontario released their report on the bidding & procurement process for the mega spa, as well as the terms of the contract. You'll be shocked to learn (sarcasm) that Ford's government did not follow their own bid process and that communications & meetings seemed to favour a few bidders. Ford put the cost of the project at $424M (2019l Vs the AGO estimate of $2.24B. Oops.

Great turnout this afternoon for a weekday rally, urging the Ontario government to save Ontario Place by cancelling the lease with Therme Spa, and also giving up on the ridiculous idea to move the Science Centre.
