BREAKING: $618,000 in taxpayer dollars to rename Science Centre Station.
Add that to:
➡️$700 million to build a new Science Centre.
➡️Millions spent on temporary science exhibits.
➡️Millions more to decommission the original Science Centre.
And what is the cost to an entire generation of young people losing access to what was once one of the world’s greatest science centres?

Cost to rename Science Centre Station adds up to more than $600K: documents cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/…

The tragic irony is Sabrina Apitz-Grossman’s cancer treatment costs the same amount. And Ontario's claim her treatment would set a precedent for $5 billion more is with zero evidence. This government has lost its way.
The Ford government's decision to move the Science Centre to the waterfront came with an extra cost--changing the now awkwardly named Science Centre Station
The bill: $618,000

Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones are going down.
Despite the health minister's repeated assurances that decisions about cancer treatment funding are made by medical professionals, newly released FOI records show the final say in at least one case rested with a senior ministry of health official who refused funding, despite the government’s own health agency and two clinical experts recommending it.

So @SylviaJonesMPP lied and then @RobinLennox was disciplined for calling her out?
This is NOT what democracy looks like.
Shame!

Sabrina is 31 and fighting a rare, aggressive cancer. For weeks, Health Minister Sylvia Jones has said doctors decide whether patients like her get treatment outside the country.
Now we know two medical experts and Ontario’s own health agency said yes to Sabrina, and it was the Minister’s own ministry that said no.
Cancer patients shouldn’t have to fight their own government just to get care.
Doug Ford must reverse this decision and give Sabrina a chance at life today.

Something to consider for those who have recently argued that Early Childhood Educators (whose already low wages have now been frozen) are “just babysitters”.
Then Conservatives will complain about “low” EQAO math scores. #OntEd #onpoli

Ontario. This is the MPP you need. This is the doctor you need. MPP Dr. Robin Lennox rightly accused Deputy Premier Jones of lying in denying a patient treatment that her doctors and Ontario Health itself recommended. Dr. Lennox - thank you. @RobinLennox

They can't call a liar a liar? In other countries it's grounds for removal if a politician is caught lying, in Ontario the opposition is kicked out for saying it:

NEW: The Ford government now says it is willing to "consider" releasing portions of the KPMG audit into the private career colleges sector, under select conditions.
"If there are opportunities to release information from the KPMG audit that do not compromise a potential OPP investigation, an Auditor General investigation or the ministry's efforts to obtain evidence, recover funds and hold bad actors accountable, we will consider doing so."
Here's the minister's original comments:
