I live near Ontario Place, and I can tell that you it is well used. In fact, on Saturday, I participated in a nature walk at Ontario Place put on by Ontario Place for All and the Toronto Field Naturalists. As well as the incredible array of birds and other wildlife there, it was a good reminder of how Ontario Place was designed to showcase Ontario. The original architect, Eb Zeidler, and the landscape architect, Michael Hough, were both Ontario-based. The Cinesphere was the world’s first movie theatre to feature IMAX movies, an Ontario invention. And Eric McMillan, who designed the Children’s Village, invented the ball pit, which has provided generations of children with a lot of fun.

Your government is leasing out the land to an American event corporation and an Austrian spa company with a hefty taxpayer-funded donation that you refuse to disclose.

Why doesn’t your government believe in Ontario-based businesses, and why don’t you work with Ontario companies to redevelop Ontario Place?
