Pickering’s SECRET Asylum Hotel EXPOSED: You will pay $7M/Year starting in 2027 - YAY - No choice!
** Let’s put this into perspective using your tax payers dollars. On top of the purchase price, room costs per day are $140/day and food costs are $84/day, based on 2024, I repeat 2024 rates, for stays of up to 90 days = ( $20,160 ). That’s per person. Break it down even more, it’s almost $7,000.00 a month. That’s like making 2 or 3 mortgage payments per month! 📷Do you as a Canadian Citizen bring home that much per month.
Pickering was NOT consulted — Durham Region quietly turned the former Comfort Inn at 533 Kingston Road (right off the 401) into a secret federal asylum reception centre for up to 250 claimants.
All 8 Durham mayors knew since December 2025 and approved it in a closed-door confidential meeting. No public input. No notice to residents.
Now, taxpayers get stuck with the full $7.075 million a year for housing, food, and services starting April 2027 — while our seniors and veterans wait and you can barely pay your bills, or programs for your children.
This multi-level government secrecy is disgusting.
We are NOT the UN’s dumping ground.
Tag your councillors, Your Mayors, All Durham MPPs, & MPs Demand a public meeting NOW.
* Let me ask you.....IF THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT IDEA, WHY WAS IT KEPT A SECRET?
