There is no way that 210/yr could pay for that monster. Maybe CRA should do net worth audits on all politicians by legislation? Would they find any that weren't dirty? Definitely won't find any in the leadership of the party in charge.
it's beside the old cottage.. I believe on the same lot.
Fawn Lake is small.

I used to think Ford was OK-ish,...he`s actually just another politician. A pompous blowhard dork out for his own good and the good of his wealthy buddies, the rest of us be damned. The science center sat on a primo piece of real estate, doesn`t Ellis-Don or one of the big players own a huge piece of land just north of that now vacant land? How convenient to develop and Doug gets juiced in. Nothing is ever free unless you`re a Liberal/socialist DB. The reckoning will come for Canada, don`t say we weren`t warned.
I'm not saying his cottage is guaranteed to be dirty. A net worth audit would shine light on politicians who were acquiring assets in a shady way. Knowing it was coming would be enough to clean up some of the graft. It's not that easy for a benefactor of your tax dollars to financially enrich you with no trail at all. CRA chooses not to investigate as the politicians are terrified of what they would find if they looked.

Same way Trudeau amassed 500 Million in 10 years on a PM`s salary. How about Nancy Pelosi`s net worth on her salary? I`d think there may have been a small amount of criminality at play.Doug's old cottage (that he still owns)

That could be a tough battle. Lots of old money has those places, especially with the yachet club over there. maybe it doesn't impact them, but people of privilege may thumb their noses at him.

He was okish, until all these projects have come to light, which clearly seem like bending the rules, and or backroom deals, and not for all Ontario.
That whole area (Eglinton & Don Mills), has been totally redeveloped since IBM (Celestica) sold the property (I did my riders training in the back parking lot) It's like a whole new mini city. The only piece missing is the Science Centre property. I'm sure it's all coincidence right?
Sad part there is a large community up the street from SC, Thorncliff park with many schools and residences which have benefited from the proximity from the SC. The more I think about the SC it was just a ploy to get this new convention centre built.

Yup. Follow the money for the answer. Always. Like Hans Landa said..."Ooooh, that`s a bingo!"
FWIW a neighbour was a draftsman for the province and said most of this stuff is planned out many decades in advance. Land acquisition is a massive part of the poker game.
It's a bit like forestry. You plant walnut trees for future generations. Properly run, the corporation is gets older but never dies.

I like the Islanders, having met a few. They add character to the place. Instead the masses want to turn the island into a plot of land with all the charm of a sod farm.
The ne'er do wells at the foot of Spadina don't want the airport at all, never mind jets. Jet air ambulances are allowed IIRC.

I knew a guy that worked for Loblaws buying future investments of property. They sit on serious coin `til it`s time to act...and once in a while a sweet deal pops up.
