Great observations of the AG Report on the Ontario Place Spa by @normsworld.bsky.social. If you think the deal is bad now, it will likely be even worse when all is said and done.

Some early observations from the Ontario Place redevelopment AG Report, starting with the ballooning costs to the taxpayer. Site servicing costs have shot up by $350 million, and total taxpayer costs to facilitate the MegaSpa have ballooned to over $2.2 billion dollars! #topoli #onpoli 🧵
// What We Found The Total Estimated Costs to the Province for the Ontario Place Redevelopment Have Increased Significantly by $1.8 Billion Since the Call for Development Was Issued • Prior to finalizing the CFD, in December 2019, IO's projected total site readiness costs to the Province for the redevelopment ranged from $335 million to $424 million (see Figure 1). • As of February 2024, with the inclusion of the design and construction of the Ontario Science Centre (over $700 million), public realm (over $500 million) and parking (over $280 million), and with a $346.9 million increase in site servicing costs, IO projected the total cost of the redevelopment project to be $2.237 billion. The total estimated costs of redevelopment have not been approved by the government.
