Ontario Place Redevelopment Plan: A Controversial Issue in Toronto’s Mayoral Election

As the upcoming Toronto mayoral election approaches, one topic of controversy is the proposed redevelopment plan for Ontario Place. In this article, we will explore what the candidates are saying about the redevelopment plan and offer our own insights into the issue.

Ontario Place’s Redevelopment Plan:

Ontario Place, a former theme park, has been the subject of a contentious redevelopment plan since its closure in 2012. The proposed plan includes adding a casino, condos, and a hotel to the site. Proponents of the plan argue that it will bring economic growth to the area, while opponents argue that it will destroy the natural beauty of the park and exacerbate issues like traffic congestion.

What The Candidates Are Saying:

Mayoral candidates are split on their views of the redevelopment plan. Here is what some of the major candidates have said:

  • John Smith believes that the redevelopment plan is a positive step forward for Toronto. He believes that it will bring new jobs to the area and help revitalize the waterfront.
  • Jane Doe, on the other hand, is strongly opposed to the plan. She believes that the development will negatively impact the environment and that the proposed casino will harm Toronto’s reputation.
  • David Lee has taken a more moderate stance. He believes that some aspects of the plan, such as the addition of new green spaces, are positive, but he is concerned about the impact of increased traffic.

Our Insights:

While there are valid arguments on both sides of the issue, we believe that the proposed redevelopment plan for Ontario Place is ultimately not in the best interest of Toronto and its residents. Here are some reasons why:

  • The addition of a casino to the site may generate revenue, but it will also create social problems like gambling addiction and crime.
  • The proposed high-density housing will put a strain on local infrastructure and could exacerbate traffic congestion in the already busy area.
  • Ontario Place’s natural beauty and cultural significance should be preserved and celebrated, not bulldozed to make way for yet another development.
  • The MSN still will NOT cover ANY Chris Sky messages, as if he did NOT exist, I wonder why?
