Ford government closing Ontario Science Centre today after report found roof in danger of collapsing
Ford government closing Ontario Science Centre today after report found roof in danger of collapsing
Friday is the last day of operations for the once-popular tourist attraction that successive Progressive Conservative and Liberal governments have allowed to deteriorate for years.
You're viewing a single thread.
The government is willing to give the beer store $225 million instead of giving $40 million to fix the roof of the science centre. Just far right governments with their mixed up priorities.
It’s worse than that
The Ontario government is willing to have the tax payer cover 10% the cost on all alcohol sold outside the LCBO so companies can compete with it
I absolutely do not want my tax dollars going to promote alcohol competition. That is absolutely ridiculous. Wasn't the whole point to make alcohol easier to access?
The bottle of pop at the gas station is easier to access, all the snacks and drinks there are twice the price as the grocer. Why do we need a different attitude towards alcohol?
I'm sad that even among leftist observers there was very little debate over whether "making alcohol easier to access" was a terrible idea to begin with.
I've mostly only ever felt alcohol was hard to access when I was too young to buy it.
They understand beer. They don't understand science. They don't particularly like people who do.
