Comments by "Geoff Lepper" (@geofflepper3207) on "BREAKING: Ontario Science Centre abruptly closing due to structural issues" video.

So huge numbers of people continued to use Union Station for years while much of the station was being repaired and refurbished but when a section of roof at the Ontario Science Center needs to be repaired the Ontario government instantly shuts down the Science Center permanently and builds a construction site fence around the Science Center instead of just repairing the damaged roof and shutting down just that part of the Science Center. And this happens just when the provincial government is in hot water for unilaterally deciding to move the Science Center to Ontario Place without public consultation and without consulting stakeholders and without public support. And the Ford government has a history of creating policies to make wealthy business people wealthier without consulting with experts, stakeholders or the public. No wonder everyone is suspicious. I wonder what odds Vegas would give for the chances that within ten years that land will be owned by developers and will not all be used to create a community center and other services for the people in the neighborhood.

@cheryl4549 Your comments were reasonable until you said that you trust Doug Ford to make the right decision. Ford has made clear through his record that usually his main focus is to make wealthy business people wealthier and that he will push through policies without consulting the public, the experts or stakeholders to achieve that goal. Nobody other than well to business people asked for the green belt to be sold off, for ontario service centers to be moved to stores run by foreign companies, for a massive payout to be paid to the Beer Store, for a luxury spa to be put at Ontario Place, for much of the natural landscape at Ontario Place to be razed without an environmental assessment, for the Ontario Science Center to be moved from a location where two rapid transit lines will meet, for the Science Center to be poorly maintained and for the Science Center to be shut down and fenced off immediately because part of the roof might be unsafe.

Probably half the houses in Toronto are older than the Science Center but the Ford government claims that it is too old to keep it going. Something mighty suspicious about that. Look at how old buildings at U of T are. Lots of other old buildings. Old City Hall. Ontario Legislature. Lots of buildings much older than the Science Center.

 @dwights1024 What a nonsensical comment. Just because you don't care about your community doesn't mean that everyone is as apathetic as you.
