Ontario Place belongs to the people — not a foreign spa company with no track record.
A bombshell New York Times investigation just confirmed what Ontarians have been saying all along: Doug Ford’s government handed over public land to Therme — a European spa corporation that misled its way into a 95-year sweetheart deal.
The company claimed it ran six world-class spas. In reality, it had one — and shaky finances. And yet the Ford government cleared the way for a $650 million luxury spa and 5-storey parking garage with public dollars and no transparency.
🔴 A 95-year lease signed behind closed doors. Ontarians still don’t know what’s in it.
🔴 Environmental damage to Ontario Place, including plans to fill in part of the lake.
🔴 Hundreds of millions in public funds handed to a private company with no credible track record.
🔴 A process rigged for insiders — auditors flagged it, and now the New York Times has confirmed it.
This isn’t economic development — it’s a bad deal that puts insiders first and leaves the public with the bill.
Doug Ford says he was elected to protect Ontario.
It’s time to prove it. CancelTheDeal.ca
