$300M for a parking lot for a luxury spa, for a total of over $650M which is on top of a nearly-free lease on the land. Therme is not a Canadian company, it’s owned by the same people who bought the US wing of Deco labels–the part Doug was running into the ground.
Almost $250M in early-termination fees for the Beer Store, which is also not a Canadian company; it’s owned by two international brewing conglomerates.
But can we spend $2M to fix the immediate issue with the Science Centre’s roof? Nope, no money for that. Can we find $6M to fix it completely? Nope. But they can spend $75M on shuttle buses because they don’t want to spend $60M to fix the bridge into the building.
Tell me again how Conservatives are good with money? I mean, other than giving public money to private companies and/or their own pockets?

Fair, I may have misunderstood. I assumed the only way the city could help would be financially.
You likely had something else in mind.
