@TOAdamVaughan @ThermeCanada We spoke. I was not convinced!

Before joining Therme, Adam Vaughan spent decades advocating for public space as a city councillor and MP

Profoundly dishonest argument from @TOAdamVaughan. Therme is not helping pay for public facilities. It’s precisely the opposite. @ThermeCanada is sucking up the majority of $2.2-billion in government spending.

Collecting the claims here: - the “waterfront public park is bigger” than the West Island - only 100 of the [800+] trees cut down were large enough to be regulated https://t.co/4uqVXiXQZW

- “Access to the water” and 7 acres of public space were free on the West Island until those were demolished for Therme - this “public park” is not a public park and much of it is on a rooftop https://t.co/lkmSqJxp26
Access to the water with a new public park the size of Trinity Bellwoods & free access not just to the whole site but most importantly the Lake with facilities to swim for free are exactly what was of concern…& that’s exactly what Therme is delivering. https://t.co/zfXvzZ3sbB

Almost certainly a false claim: https://t.co/6dPugyPQHa
@TDotResident @TDotResident actually the 16 acres of park, including a new sandy beach, fire pits and more is completely free. No ticketed events are allowed in that space. It will look, feel and be programmed just like Trillium Park.

@alexbozikovic @ThermeCanada As usual, a critique with a personal attack. My dad taught me to judge proposals by their merit, not who proposes them. Therme is building a great facility, a free public beach and sunset spot, and helping restore the Cinesphere and Pods. It’s a great project.

.@TOAdamVaughan joins @ThermeCanada. He’s now a collaborator in the destruction of a public park at Ontario Place and Ontario Science Centre. He’s betraying the values of his father’s progressive-urbanist movement in the most craven manner. Congrats. https://t.co/MthDHaSKSc

A new BLDUS-designed home in D.C. caught our eye for its “farm to shelter” ethos and natural material palette. Built with hempwool, cork, bamboo, and Black Locust, it’s a bold response to site challenges using renewable, regionally-sourced components. 📸 Jennifer Hughes, Ty Cole

Montreal’s competition system is producing more beautiful and socially engaged places at significantly lower cost. https://t.co/IMeSgkSemK

Why a competition? Because PFR buildings are the most expensive in the country and generally not good. The same four architects delivering generally unimaginative, sometimes unfriendly facilities lacking social space, food, or connection to landscape. We can do so much better.

Next to a subway station and a big park, walking distance from Yonge/Bloor station, U of T and every amenity. There is no better place to add social housing or highly profitable market housing.

A major new Toronto project on one of the best sites in the country. This absolutely should be - combined with a high-rise housing tower -created through a design competition

It is and was absolutely clear. The centre did not have to close. Ford killed it, with shameful acquiescence from the public service.
The Ontario government is shutting the Science Centre today citing an engineer’s report – which does *not* say the place must close or that all work is urgent. What a betrayal.

This argument was always BS. That was clear in black-and-white from Day One. @fordnation’s government deliberately misled us all.
After days of heavy snow, we got an aerial view of the roof of the Ontario Science Centre -- which was closed last year over concerns about the structural integrity of the roof. The Progressive Conservatives said, last year, "the building, which is more than 50 years old, is
