European Spa Company Therme Misrepresented Itself in an Effort to Expand Into Canada A Times investigation shows Therme, a European firm, exaggerated its track record in securing a deal with Ontario, and government auditors found that the process had been unfair and opaque.

Unbelievable. The @nytimes.com reports that Therme was misrepresenting basic aspects of its business - they copied the name of another company and claimed to own its properties.

Canadian accounts that have previously posted for years about infectious disease, healthcare, writing, dogs, gardening etc are now standing on guard for Canada.

Thank you, all of you.

You’re the heart of Canada, bringing tears to our eyes and putting steel in our spine.

Long Live Canada.

opposition parties in Ontario have said they will rip up the Ontario Place deal!

ALL THREE opposition parties in Ontario have said they will rip up the Ontario Place deal!

"Doug Ford has negotiated a great deal for Therme, and a terrible deal for the people of Ontario"
Marit Stiles, leader of Ontario NDP
"The mega spa is a mega scam. It is a bad deal that was only ever signed to give a big payoff to Doug Ford's friends"
Bonnie Crombie, leader of
Ontario Liberal Party
"Ford's deal is all about helping Therme and not about helping Ontarians, and we need to get out of it before hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are funnelled down the drain.”
Mike Schreiner, leader of Green Party of Ontario

πŸ”³ MARK CARNEY’S BROTHER, BRIAN:

β€œPeople who KNOW Mark, who meet Mark, get to know Mark – become FRIENDS with Mark ... He stands up to bullies. He tries to make things right. He looks OUT for people. He looks out for me - he’ll look out for Canada.”

This Hour has 22 Minutes would be on the chopping block if Poilievre wins a majority.

Left: A picture of Doug Ford in his snowmobile gear posing with fans. The words above his head say, "Doug Ford responding to the 3-week long Ottawa occupation."

Right: Police officers knock on someone's door. The words above their head say, "Doug Ford responding to getting packets of gravy in the mail."

Three years ago, when the ding dong delegation rolled into Ottawa and spent 3 weeks harassing its citizens, Doug Ford went snowmobiling.

He said the mayor should've called him if he needed help.

Doug later refused to testify at the Emergencies Act inquiry.

We deserve better, Ontario.
