  1. I'm writing this before I watch the video !!! I grew up in the Ottawa Valley, and I first went to the O.S.S., on a school trip when I was 12 years old, in its first year, (1969). And then spent much of my spare time, in 1973 and 1974. there while in College at George Brown. Then 15 years later while I lived in Toronto, 1987 - 1994.. As a sci-fi buff from around age 10, It was one of the primary, formative influences and what inspired my love and understanding of the realities of electronic keyboard instruments, other technology from computers to robotics., Astronomy,. Physics and much more !!! Which all prompted me to be a voracious reader, It even prepared me and helped me choose a technology related military career !! And I even became a part-time non-fiction writer, related to all those topics, during my military time and for years after !!! It's a dayam shame and can only serve to weaken and derail science endeavors and education in Canada... We have so many high-tech people, electronic musicians, scientists, astronauts, a space industry, and more... due to its long existence. What's next higher education facilities ?!?!?.. I've noticed some "rumblings of negativity' regarding education filtering in from the US, especially in regards to 'Foreign Student" reductions !! To see the state that the O.S.C. building is in, only 30 years later !! It looks like a "Tofu-Dreg" building in present day China, or any other 3rd World country !!! And it reminds me of the way they neglected another unique futuristic landmark on the waterfront, Ontario Place, which opened around the same time and was left to ruin and neglect. at least into the 1990's !! It looks like they still have the marina which only serves the rich , I imagine. !!! When one of the most important entities in my life, and who I am, has been left to 'rot' and 'die' an unnecessary death ... that's the last straw !! I expected myself, and my old friends to pass, but not our future heritage !! I am definitely leaving Canada for parts far and away, most likely in the Pacific/Indian Ocean region, by next year! Goodbye Canada and our 1st World status and of our futuristic endeavors. Good luck to getting a new one !!
