Original OSC had terraces, bridges and a ravine setting that turned science into a spatial experience.
New Science Centre is a maze of spin and broken promises.

Claim: old Science Centre roof posed immediate risk
Reality: engineers said roof needed to be repaired over 10 years

Claim: new Science Centre will be better
Reality: new Science Centre is half the size

Original OSC had 568,000 square feet of space.
New Science Centre has 280,000 square feet.

Ontario Science Centre’s new home is smaller, worse and probably pricier None of the Ford government’s main claims about this new facility at Ontario Place appear to be true

None of Ford's claims about the new Science Centre are true.

Claim: estimated cost of new Science Centre is $322 million
Reality: current estimate is $750 million

Even the Godfather of AI, one of the world's most prominent scientists, is furious about Ford's Science Centre lies.

Ford to students:
“it's not a God-given right to take taxpayers’ money,” ...

Unless you are my family dentist, you get $2M;
or a friend who owns a strip club, i'll give you $10M;
or you hire my campaign manager as a lobbyist, you'll get $100M.

Don’t be fooled by Ford’s college and university funding announcement.

He’s just continuing to download more costs and debt on to students for the most grossly underfunded system in Canada.

Hallway health care metric one of several 'to be retired' from health agency’s public report The metric was not included in the latest Ontario Health annual report, with one emergency physician calling it ‘utter malpractice’ to not release the data publicly

Removing the hallway healthcare metric from Ontario Health’s public report doesn’t make the problem go away—it hides it.

In 2024, an average of 1,390 patients a day were treated in hallways because of lack of beds.

Now Ford wants to stop reporting on it

Eglinton Crosstown LRT to open Sunday with reduced service, muted celebrations: ‘It’s too soon for a party’ Mandeep Lali said the Eglinton Crosstown LRT will open Sunday at reduced speeds and hours of operation.

15 years, $7.7 billion over budget, and devastating closures to over 300 small businesses.

That is the history of this public-private partnership—otherwise known as a P3 project.

Get Ontario Building with Homes Ontario A bold plan to treat housing as essential infrastructure—and build a stronger, more affordable future for all.

To build housing, we need a government that:
▶️ builds not-for-profit housing
▶️ that leverages the value of public land to reduce costs
▶️ that partners with existing Co-ops to expand

Doug Ford’s housing plan:
▶️ Paving the Greenbelt
▶️ MZO's to insiders
▶️ Strong Mayor powers
▶️ Attacking Conservation Authorities

Great for making Ford's friends rich, but doesn't build housing.

That means standing with people like Charlie Angus, calling out collaborators, and making it very clear to corporate Canada: siding with Trump will not be “good for business.”

Donald Trump put a U.S. flag over Canada on a map in the White House. That’s not “trolling.” It’s a threat.

Canada's sovereignty is not up for debate. We take this as seriously as Americans would—and we will fight back.

Why has the TDSB supervisor rescinded a class size cap? Trustees voted last March to cap class sizes in grades 4 to 8 at a maximum of 32 students. The TDSB’s supervisor rescinded that directive

Ford gave his Minister of Education, Paul Calandra, total control of the 600 TDSB schools and the education of 240,000 students.

Calandra just eliminated the maximum class cap of 32 students in Middle schools.

Ontario court rules Doug Ford must turn over personal phone records | Globalnews.ca An Ontario court says it is reasonable to conclude Premier Doug Ford uses his personal cellphone to communicate and that he should make those records public.

Doug Ford has fought transparency every step of the way with your hard-earned taxpayer dollars. If there was nothing to hide, why the secrecy?

Supervised boards could close schools, Ontario education minister says, but rural schools safe Boards under supervision have been asked to look at underused sites and report back, Ontario education minister says in a year-end interview.

On the Friday before Christmas, Ford's Minister of Education announces he will be closing and selling schools in boards where the real estate is most valuable—Toronto, Ottawa, & Dufferin-Peel.

On December 1st, Ford began cutting the sewage pipes to allow for raw sewage to discharge along Toronto’s lakeshore and beaches.

It’s a shocking abuse of power.

Families deserve clean, safe beaches—not sewage dumps to support a $2.2 billion taxpayer-funded megaspa at #OntarioPlace.

Ford just fired the TDSB director.

He’s consolidating power over our children’s schools — not to improve them, but to privatize them.

Ford government extends Ontario legislature’s Christmas break until late March Premier Doug Ford's government is giving the Ontario legislature an unusually long Christmas break, extending it until March 23.

Doug Ford is giving us the 102 day disappearing act—shutting down Queen’s Park until March 23 while Ontarians face a cost-of-living and jobs crisis

A government that won’t show up for work sure can’t fix the mess it made. Ontarians deserve better than this.
