Sign the Letter: SaveScienceCentre.com Phone Premier Ford Tonight Too! #Ontario #savesciencecentre

Critics are accusing the Ford government of flooding the zone: making a wave of announcements to overwhelm the media, confuse the public & exhaust political opponents. They say the premier is trying to distract after changing access laws to keep his cellphone records secret.

“This is a wonderful establishment. May you be protected from greedy short-sighted politicians. RIP Ontario Science Centre.” Spotted in #Toronto #Ontario

NEW: Today, Premier Doug Ford acknowledged his transparency clampdown is to protect his personal phone records, before accusing journalists of fishing for health records. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/11734575/…

Science Centre's 'hazardous' roof still fine while new TTC station next door rains indoors blogto.com/city/2026/03/s…

Doug Ford says he is going to restrict Freedom of Information requests because of the “Communist Chinese.” #canada #ontario #toronto #onpoli #topoli

FOIs by Ontario’s journalists are in the public interest & benefit all of us. Without the reporting of @isaaccallan, @TinaYazdani, @CharliePinkerto, @allisonjones_cp, @siomoCTV & many others, the public wouldn’t know the truth about the OSC. FOIs are good for democracy. #onpoli

@Barfyman36two We were being polite about that, lol.

@SaveOSC I mean I wouldn’t say brand new considering it’s been sitting there waiting to open for years.

The brand new Don Valley Station’s roof is leaking, on Eglinton Line 5. #ontario #toronto #onpoli #topoli

More recently, government staff and officials have refused to say what happened to the roof of the building during a record snowstorm. #OnPoli We have an FOI in to work out what wasn't included in their statement. Under the new rules, we may never know. globalnews.ca/news/11639922/…

We also found out through freedom of information that the independent engineering report was reviewed and seen by the government when it was still in draft form. #onpoli globalnews.ca/news/10879674/…

A trove of emails between government communication staff and senior Infrastructure Ontario officials show the news release announcing the sudden closure was being prepared 10 days before it was released. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/10878274/…

But through freedom of information documents from ministry staff, we found out the closure had been planned for more than a week. #OnPoli

When the government closed the science centre on a Friday before the long weekend in 202,4 it gave the impression that the issues with the roof were so urgent that it had no choice but to shut it down with only a few hours' notice. #onpoli news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

🧵 Should the decision to rush the closure of the Ontario Science Centre have been secret? It was freedom of information requests to a minister's office that revealed the move was planned more than a week earlier, but rushed out to hide behind the long weekend. #OnPoli

@g_meslin Do you think there is room down by the lake for Kennedy Station too?

I guess this means we need to close it and build a new one by the lake.

Wow. Just wow.

Raymond Moriyama’s science centre is in this photo. Can you spot it?

@g_meslin Great photo, it even includes Moriyama’s science centre!

Looking across the Don Valley towards East York, Thorncliffe Park, and beyond.

Everything Ontario built “sucks.” Everything Doug does is “world class.” Same tired talking points, different day.

@g_meslin Our "Guest Speech at Ontario Science Centre 50 Years Celebration: Daring to Dream Big" which we ended with Thank you, We are glad we walked a small part of your 50 years journey and forward to an exciting journey ahead." But @fordnation stole our @saveosc hotpoprobot.com/2019/01/24/gue…
