Was it an urgent closure if the urgency was fake?

What a surprise … most corrupt premier and his complicit MPPs

Weird how they could leave a dangerous risk of collapse for so long without informing the public using the space.

it was never about safety to the public and always about making Ontario place development more palatable IMHO.

We all know it wasn’t necessary. #DougFordIsCorrupt knows it wasn’t necessary but he did it despite the facts all to pad the wallets of his developer buddies who will shower him in envelopes of cash.

“One of the biggest things said is, ‘We would have liked to have an opportunity to visit one more time."

Thru a comms lens, I've always thought this is the reason for the sudden closure. They wanted to kneecap nostalgia stories shot at the Science Centre. Would have been more emotive & damaging.
