[Geoffrey Hinton @geoffreyhinton]

Our lying Ontario premier has just stolen $50 from every single person in Ontario. The estimated cost of repairing our beloved Science Center was 200 million dollars. The firm that made the estimate was told to multiply it by 1.85 to make it bigger. We were then told it would be better to build a new science center. Now we learn the new center will be smaller and will cost a billon dollars before the cost overruns. The only win is that the extensive parking lots of the old Science Center will be available for his developer friends.
