This whole deal for this "spa" project has been shady. You can't tell me Doug and his fellas aren't on the take in this project. Note that we can NOT cancel out of this project because Doug has put his signature on it and US the people are obligated to honor it.

Vote for the Liberals- they'll build social housing or hospitals, their buddies will get plum contracts and there'll be massive cost overruns. At the end of the day we have social housing or new hospitals and we'll be left saddled with the debt.

Vote for Conservatives- they'll build highways and parking lots, their buddies will get plum contracts and there'll be massive cost overruns. At the end of the day they'll sell our highways and parking lots to their buddies and we'll be left saddled with the debt.

Vote for the NDP- they'll try to improve social institutions and be stonewalled by the Liberals and Conservatives because it might mean their buddies will have to pay their workers more.

$800M would fix the Science Centre.

Three times over.

How does this guy get away with being so transparently and overtly corrupt?

Since the GTA was amalgamated, it's made Toronto conservative due to the suburbs now being part of Toronto. This has significantly grown conservative support since. Also, we need to vote more.

What I kind of meant was that it feels like it should be criminal for a politician to essentially hand out public money to their donors and friends.

Absolutely.

Good because parking lots are so unnecessary.
