      As someone with a civil engineering background, The roof holding a record amount of snow does not imply that it’s safe. Just because it didn’t collapse, doesn’t mean that an engineer is confident it is safe.

      As a taxpayer in Ontario, I would be surprised to find out this *isn’t* one of Doug Ford’s corrupt shenanigans.

      The full engineering reports should be made public, but there is at least one high level summary available: [https://www.infrastructureontario.ca/49ee2b/contentassets/84df22e71b7c40b2aaeef94da88c78b5/osc-building-a-to-c-raac-roof-panel-assessment-final-june-18-2024-r2.pdf](https://www.infrastructureontario.ca/49ee2b/contentassets/84df22e71b7c40b2aaeef94da88c78b5/osc-building-a-to-c-raac-roof-panel-assessment-final-june-18-2024-r2.pdf)

      My reading of this (as the wrong kind of engineer) is that it doesn’t clearly state whether the reduced factor of safety is thought to be stable or will continue to degrade. But the report does give a sunset date (Oct. 2024) beyond which they consider the roof unsafe, which implies continued degradation. That is, it could withstand a load today and fail under the same load in the future.

      Given the publicly available information, „it hasn’t collapsed yet so it’s safe“ looks like a bad argument.
