It’s so odd this election had the same machines the same poll workers the same rules and yet not one republican is saying it’s fixed. I wonder what happened.

@DechampsAlan @SaveOSC @ONPlace4All When @fordnation reduces an interactive and immersive science experience that we have enjoyed at the full size OSC for 55 years to a 15 minute distraction from mall shopping, it clearly identifies that education of Ontario children is not a priority

Ontario Place is Ford's 407. How did we end up with one of the worst deals in provincial history?

It is being given away to an Austrian spa company for 95 years.

Did Therme get preferential treatment? @OntarioNDP is asking the Integrity Commissioner to investigate.

Ontario Place was built in an era when Conservative government sbelieved that investments in public spaces for the enjoyment of people was fundamental to a good society.
Doug Ford trashed one of Ontario's defining public spaces to build his buddies a fucking spa.

1/2 On the eve of @cityoftoronto Exec Comm mtg, these words from @globeandmail's @IvanSemeniuk worth repeating:
"New science centres can be built, but legacies must be grown. In its scale and scope, the #OntarioScienceCentre was a grand vision that became a global template...

Ontario’s Ford government unveils the province’s new Ontario Science Centre today, located at the information kiosk at Dufferin Mall.

[Josh Matlow @JoshMatlow]

The corrupt Doug Ford government keeps wasting our money. Now, up to a $billion to campaign on getting beer into gas stations a few months early. There are real priorities that need investment including the Science Centre, our schools, transit and healthcare - to name just a few.

[Josh Matlow @JoshMatlow]

Let’s work now to replace Doug Ford’s government. He pretends to be reasonable, but behaves like a bully-and doesn’t honor the deals he signs. He runs on “buck a beer” populism while his friends get rich. He wastes tax dollars while destroying the things we value. He’s gotta go.

Under Doug Ford:
> Seniors died from neglect in long term care
> Ontario Place was neglected and left to rot
> Ontario Science Centre was neglected and became unsafe
> Education and Healthcare systems are falling apart from neglect

People like me didn’t have equal rights until the Charter. Within my lifetime. So, I am vigilant about those rights.

What Pierre Poilievre said this week about minority rights, the notwithstanding clause and the Charter is chilling.

I love this time of year, when people of so many different religions and beliefs come together and go: "What's up with The Jews?"
