Toronto used to have a pretty decent marine museum, not a great one, but it could have become great. Instead it was forcibly relocated from the CNE to a much smaller location at Harbourfront and eventually killed off by Mel Lastman and his cronies. Now all of its artifacts are stored indefinitely.

TheBossRoss 🧶@thebossross.bsky.social · 4d agoTruth is, no matter how much they demand it, most people struggle with change. They're suspicious & comfortable with what they know. For what they know requires no learning or effort. The curiosity you need to try something new always comes with a risk people tend to avoid. #GoodMorning, everyone.
