Episode description

The OTL gang is assembled! Keith Leslie at CHCH-TV, John Wright SVP Maru Public Opinion, Sabrina Nanji, Publisher and Editor of the Queen’s Park Observer and SSN Chief Executive Producer Dave Trafford are around the table.

In this episode:
  • The Ford government made it "official" this week, unveiling fancy new renderings of the Ontario Place park that now includes a new and improved Ontario Science Centre. But beyond colouring inside the lines, there isn't a great deal of detail about the overhaul plans. We still don't know what's in the Therme Spa deal, how the parking garage worked its way into the deal AFTER the winning bid was announced.
  • Toronto's "plan" to allow multiplex housing in ALL areas of the city will have to be a province-wide requirement. It will create more supply but there's nothing to guarantee any of these initiatives will make housing more affordable.
  • AND the Ontario Liberal Party have set a date for the leadership vote. The party's third leader in three years will be chosen December 2,2023.
