@mayintoronto "so unconnected" 😂

Therme has had a symbiotic relationship with the Ontario Conservative Party since the company was founded.

"Behind the scenes, Leslie Noble — who is something of an icon in Conservative politics in #Ontario — has been an important figure for the company for years. She’ll soon be joining #Therme Canada as a director, as well."

The Trillium · Who helped Therme secure Ontario PlaceBy Charlie Pinkerton

💥BOOM

"With Ontario Place and #Therme now recognised by international media as a colossal scam will TVO report on it? Or will the fact that Therme's VP of communications was appointed [by the Premier] to their board colour their agenda?"

Mark Lawson was previously a deputy chief of staff to Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Remember this?

"In 2022, the Ford family sold the US branch of their label business US DECO Chicago to Resource Label Group LLC, which is owned by the investment firm Ares Management. Therme's current CFO (Adrian lon) hired in September 2019 was a Financial Director for Ares Management from 2017-2019."

@KimberlyN @mayintoronto @ZenHeathen Hard to believe #DougFord was duped... over the years there have been dozens and dozens of #Therme posts that tell another story. John Lornic did a whole series at Spacing media.
Here's Jordan Robert's view from 2023:

"Don't forget, Therme is just a front for a bunch of mobsters and Ford's ex-staffers"

WHO knows who??

So how could this company — headquartered in Austria & running a single facility in Romania — persuade the #Ontario government that its business portfolio was far larger than it actually was?

The financial condition of the Therme Group, auditors would later conclude, “appeared weak.”

The company has yet to secure outside investment for its #Toronto project. But the #DougFord govt has been busy clearing land for #Therme on West Island.

🤨 Oh look, #DougFord's corrupt mega-spa deal has made the NYT.

#Therme falsely presented itself as an industry player that operated as many as half a dozen spas in Europe.
In fact, it had built & operated just one, outside Bucharest, Romania. As it pitched its vision for #Toronto, Therme’s finances appeared to be shaky. Auditors found it was losing money and had less than 1 million euro (about $1.1 million) in equity.

Schönen #Sonntag Euch 😃👍🏻

Tipp: Für alle die eine #Gastherme benutzen. So könnte ihr den #Gasverbrauch reduzieren. Schraubt die #thermostate von den #Heizkörper ab, denn ihr habt bestimmt irgendwo einen Temperaturfühler in der Wohnung 😃👍🏻 Dann stellt ihr die #Therme auf Winterbetrieb & stellt eine Eieruhr auf 10 / 15 Minuten. Wenn es klingelt, schaltet ihr die Therme wieder auf Sommerbetrieb. Das könnt ihr Stündlich wiederholen. Viel Erfolg 😃👍🏻 Euer #drmotte

95 years is a really long time...

#DougFord's giveaway of public land to a private operator on terms that offer the slimmest of returns to taxpayers...

$2 billion is simply not that large a sum in the context of a provincial budget that’s currently spending 100 times that on programs alone — it works out to $20 million a year.

Ford's Therme spa deal has all the hallmarks of an Ontario-made fiasco in the making.
