Sometimes Toronto doesn’t know a good thing when it sees it. Consider the plan to redevelop Ontario Place, the big island playground down by the lake. Furious opposition has followed the project from the start. Critics say the provincial government is handing a priceless public asset to a private company so it can build a luxury spa.

That is a gross caricature of the plan, which includes not just the spa and accompanying waterpark but also a better concert venue, a new Ontario Science Centre, a revived marina and acres of trails, beaches and open space that everyone will be able to use for free.

This week, Therme Canada revealed more visuals of its controversial Ontario Place facility – a sprawling private spa complex on what used to be parkland.

The PR rollout emphasized “sustainable” and “inclusive” aspects of the design. But this is still the same disastrous project it’s always been. It is a private stadium-sized recreation facility that has no business existing on a waterfront, accompanied by an enormous parking garage. And it’s not getting better.

Il survient après celui du numéro deux de l'organisation, en mars dernier.

The British Columbia provincial court has handed a retired RCMP officer a suspended sentence, saying the man was “reckless” but not deceitful when he convinced a neighbour to invest in his failing cannabis company.

A superficial reading of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s policybook is that she’s simply following the blueprint laid out for her by her MAGA cousins down south. It indeed has many of the Republican highlights: enduring grievance politics, legislation on trans youth, a tinge of vaccine skepticism, and most recently, an initiative to effectively ban certain books from school libraries. On Thursday, Alberta Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides announced a new provincial standard to “ensure school library materials are age-appropriate and free of sexually explicit content.”

Each agenda item could be defended on its own merits; for example, if you actually look at the library material the United Conservative Party (UCP) cites as inappropriate for certain ages in public school libraries, including a graphic novel that shows scenes of oral sex that is available in K-9 and high schools in Calgary, one could make a reasonable case for intervention (though one could make a better case for the government staying out of it and letting schools and boards handle the issue).
