The original 370 acres of land was enough. In fact, it was
too much. Probably another few hundred will disappear
under ticky-tacky hot dog stands. fast food outlets and
ancillary buildings to service this park.
You have probably seen some of the advertisements.
watched some of the advertisments, watched some of the
toleisinn.erattasner-t rats_,„„. •
When it was proposed,. it got final approval from the
Ontario cabinet. Even the agricUltural ministel• at the time
gave his approval. .
Nobody, at that time, spoke for gre en growing -things,
They were--and I suppose they may, have had an obscure
reason for doing so--talking about jobs. They were more
interested in jobs than in saving prime farm land.
But look what is happening to this theme park which has
A false mountain made oftoncrete, chicken wire and steel.
The owners have'spent $122 million. $50 million in Yankee
money add the balanee from four major Canadian
insurance companies including Great West Life and the
Torontennittion_BanL Yet-the-yanks-will retain- 75-per
cent of the park. Something soundsa little screwy there.
what? -
Ariyway. this company, now permanetly housed on
farmland no longer able too-produce crops. expects to,.
attract 2.3 million ,people this year who should generate
more than S46 million in. revenues.
° When all the fooferaw and the objections died when the.,
park was finally approved, it was supposed to create a lot
of jobs. That was one of the reasons it was allowed to
happen. H ow many jobs? So far, 2.200 of them but only
about 200 are permanent jobs. The rest are seasonal. And
what kind Of pay? The base pay for the seasonal help is
$2.75 an hour for thoSe under 18 and‘S3.50 an' hour for
those 18 and over, barely more than the minimum.
Some job at $3.50 an hour!
As thiS is written, this wearisome wonderland has- been
put on the •"unfair” list by the Toronto Musicians
Association for paying performers less than scale. So
much for all the jobs it was supposed to create. Less than
one full-tiMe job per acre of farmland.
But that ain't all, my friends. Not only is it a bust in
providing employment, it has little or nothing in it that is
CanadiatiAt's imported--or most of it--from good, old
Uncle Sam. even to its comic strip characters.
So when you're driving'north or south along Highway
400 this summer, bumper td bumper as the traffic moves

not created. Think of those 2,000 students working for the
summer for almost minimum wage. Think of this phoney
dream-theme park with next-to-nothing that is Canadian.
Think of the 75-per-cent' American ownership. Think of
the money being spent by the 2.3 million visitors, most of
whom will be Canadian. spending an average $20 each,
every time they go inside the gates.
And then weep for Canada. Canadian culture, the
hundreds of acres of farmland lost forever.
When your radiator boils over, thumb your nose in the
direction of that man-made mountain.
