🤨 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.
