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!
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
Correction: 5,300 units plus commercial… still a lot of profit from the Ontario Line design.

Kinga Surma announces that she and Doug Ford have been working on a plan to move the animals from the Toronto Zoo into Riverdale Farm to allow developers to build condos with Ana Bailao.
The Ontario Line will also go there now, for some reason.
Kinga Surma announces that she, Ana Bailao, and Doug Ford have been working on a plan to move all of the bodies from Mount Pleasant Cemetery to a new underwater Therme Mausoleum at Ontario Place and build 100,000 condos on the cemetery property.
Kinga Surma, Ana Bailao, and Doug Ford announce yet another amazing plan. They will be digging up Roy Thomson Hall and porting the entire building over to the middle of the Woodbine Racetrack. The Ontario Line will also go here now, because why not?
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?
