If you’d hoped to spend the Canada Day weekend by the water down on the West Island at Ontario Place or doing some fun family learning at the Ontario Science Centre I hope you can find some consolation knowing Doug Ford and his family are enjoying a nice weekend up at the cottage

The 50 year old Ontario run Science Centre & Ontario Place have fallen into disrepair thru neglect, but city run Toronto Zoo & Federally run CN Tower are marking their 50th birthdays not with shutdowns & demolitions, but with reinvestment.

Just a reminder that Doug Ford will have spent more of our tax dollars buying ads than he has ever put into repairing the Ontario Science Center. In fact, he has bought more ads the the cost of the currently-projected roof repair.

This is what we need to communicate to the rest of Ontario.

#OntarioScienceCentre is not an isolated issue - it’s part of a pattern of public lands and institutions being demolished and transferred to private business.

Anything - everything - is up for sale.

[Alina Cameron 🇨🇦 💉 🔬 @Alina_Cameron]

The science centre is the physical manifestation of the @fordnation government’s MO across EVERY SINGLE FILE:
1. Underfund
2. Deny underfunding
3. Claim there’s no $ for repair
4. Sell off pieces bit by bit to private sphere

Ontario’s premier, Doug Ford, is working incredibly hard to make alcohol readily available in corner stores. Meanwhile, the Ontario Science centre is closing and there have been no efforts to keep it open despite public outcry.

For Doug Ford, it is:
- alcohol over healthcare.
- alcohol over knowledge.
- alcohol over education.

Misplaced priorities & profit over people! #onpoli

Intentional neglect of the Ontario Science Centre, as noted in the Auditor General report. #topoli #onpoli

[Barney Panofsky's Best Intentions @mynamesnotgordy]

Let’s face facts. If we don’t raise the capital gains tax then how will we fund the federal healthcare transfers to Ontario that Doug Ford will use to build a $10B highway to replace the empty one we sold that no one can afford to use unless they have signifiant capital gains?

Raymond Moriyama noted that the concrete used at the Ontario Science Centre would last 250 years with the proper maintenance. Today’s shutdown of the Ontario Science Centre is 100% due to the Ontario Government neglect of the building. #topoli #onpoli

"Covid is just a cold." Wrong. Most common colds are caused by RHINOVIRUSES not coronaviruses. Until covid, people weren't regularly being infected with coronaviruses. Coronaviruses can do things rhinoviruses can't. A category error to conflate the two

Doug Ford’s Conservatives fought to keep the nursing and health care worker shortage a secret from the public. Their Health Minister said there’s no doctor shortage.

Ontario deserves an honest government that will take their heads out of the sand and tackle this crisis. #onpoli

The Federal government can protect Ontarians from the @Fordnation Greenbelt-eating Highway 413...and put the trucks on the 407. https://t.co/5c5gCAdmCl via @thehilltimes #Cdnpoli #Stopthe413

A new gold standard review of 100 studies finds:

- masks are effective in reducing transmission of respiratory diseases

- N95 respirators are significantly more effective than medical or cloth masks

- mask mandates are effective in reducing community transmission

An audit found political staffers in the Ontario government allegedly deleted records and used personal emails during interactions with development lobbyists.

"Days after Greenbelt developer Shakir Rehmatullah attended Doug Ford’s daughter’s wedding, ministry staffers were tasked with researching a proposal that would allow Rehmatullah’s Greenbelt property in Nobelton to be developed, deeming it a 'priority project." #onpoli #Greenbelt

So what happens after 5 infections? 10? 20?

Asking for millions of kids who will have been infected a dozen+ times before they reach adulthood

[DerekZoolander85 @dzoolander85]

Pierre Poilievre is for "The Little Guy," just like Doug Ford.

Corporate lobbyists & CEOs have had a rough ride under Trudeau & PP is here to save them. 🙄

Told you about a month ago what the Conservatives were up to. And his supporters said he never would. Well. It’s started. They’ll make abortion illegal in Canada. Now they’re going to slowly try to normalize this narrative in Canada before the election. Pay attention ladies.

[Phil Pothen 🇨🇦 he/him @pothen]

For years now @envirodefence has been warning that this Ontario government's push for more sprawl & its refusal to densify lowrise neighbourhoods would make it much HARDER to fix our housing shortage & restore affordability.

Month after month, the statistics prove us right! 🧵
