Canadian investor says Ford government ignoring proposal to redevelop Marineland

A wealthy Canadian financier says that he put forward a multibillion dollar proposal to redevelop Marineland and save 30 whales facing death, but that Ontario Premier Doug Ford has not meaningfully considered the plan.

Marc Wade, a Canadian-born investor living in the Los Angeles area, said he and a real estate developer reached out to the government in the spring about their plan to buy Marineland and turn it into an entertainment complex with a sanctuary for whales and other wildlife.
