First Ford sells off Ontario Place. Now he's after Wasaga Beach
Premier Doug Ford's plan to sell off a large portion of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park is a slap in the face to Ontarians. Not everyone is privileged enough to have their own private waterfront property to cool off on sweltering summer days . Wasaga Beach Provincial Park is an affordable gem enjoyed by multiple generations of Ontarians coming from various socioeconomic statuses. This plan reinforces the Ford government's track record of disregarding the rights of all citizens by limiting access to beloved and environmentally important public spaces, such as Ontario Place. Shame on you, Doug Ford.
