To recap: Doug Ford destroyed parkland at Ontario Place for a private waterpark; closed Ontario Science Centre under false pretenses; and now is moving the OSC into Harbourfront.
Partial destruction of one public place; permanent destruction of another; longterm takeover of a third.

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm.
The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song.
This is the story of this terrible tragedy.
