Now closed for renovations, the triodetic dome wears its years with a somewhat tired grace that betrays its legacy as a launchpad for a once-state-of-the-art example of Canadian technology.
It sits silently on an artificial island in Lake Ontario, part of Ontario Place, itself a once-shimmering example of future-focused public space now being rebuilt as a spa for silver-spooned friends of the province’s Premier Doug Ford.
The grift, here and everywhere else, is real. And under a cool, damp sky, it’s easy to feel pangs of regret at what’s been lost. But this once-gleaming inspiration could yet gleam again if we allow it.
Because hope is a difficult thing to give up. Here and everywhere.
