Did Doug Ford tip off developers to Ontario Line plans, just like the Greenbelt?

The De Gasperis family purchased the Celestica property across from the Science Centre less than a month before Doug Ford announced the Ontario Line would extend to that location! ImageImageImageImage
To do some math on this:

10,000 units planned

Average of $600k per unit (examples shown)

New Ontario Line adds say 10% more value (probably an understatement)

That is 10,000 x $60k = $600M in value added by the Ontario Line

The property was purchased for $137M initially ImageImageImageImage
Correction: 5,300 units plus commercial… still a lot of profit from the Ontario Line design. Image

The Ontario Line will also go there now, for some reason. ImageImage

So, to recap:
- Toronto's Downtown Relief Line planned from Danforth south
- Doug Ford replaces with Ontario Line, extends to Science Centre and Exhibition
- Ford demolishing the Science Centre, meaning billions in transit would be built for a few condos???

If Kathleen Wynne was run out of town over $230M in costs to move 2 gas plants... why on earth hasn't Doug Ford been run out of town for BILLIONS in ridiculous waste on bad transit plans?

Doug Ford is spending $10B to $20B on a subway to NOWHERE!

This is quite simply the most wasteful spending in the history of Ontario.
