Just when one may think that the public's confidence in the provincial government and its Ontario Place revitalization project could not get any lower, shady new particulars of Doug Ford's deal with megaspa brand Therme keep coming to light.First, there were the multiple leaks about the site's taxpayer-funded parking garage that Ford and his team appeared to try and conceal, along with the news of the project being exempt from environmental assessments and noise bylaws, shocking cost-benefit analyses that show immense losses for the Province, and more.Then last week, a damning New York Times investigation exposed how Austria-based Therme successfully misrepresented itself and exaggerated its reputation to the Province while only having $1.1 million in equity and one single wellness facility under its belt (on top of essentially stealing its branding from a competitor, with ...
