Dear editor,
I am concerned about the Ontario government’s plan to build a huge private spa at Ontario Place. It is estimated that every taxpayer in the province will pay at least $65 so that a foreign-owned private spa can have an underwater parking lot. The deal with Doug Ford’s government also includes a 99 year lease to Therme, an Austrian company, with all the details kept secret. The plan includes removing hundreds of trees, an environmental assessment being deemed unnecessary for this project.
I am very concerned that the Provincial Government is wasting our taxes on something that will only be enjoyed by the very few. Public money would be better spent on health care, affordable housing, roads and infrastructure for the benefit of the entire province. Please contact your MPP to oppose this wasteful plan.
