Wynne looks for revenue

I saw that speech. When Wynne said that the Liberals "absolutley" left Ontario a better place than 10 years ago, I almost sprayed my coffee across my living room.

Damn, I read "the Liberals absolutely left Ontario, a better place" then realized there was no comma

What about the getting back the billions spent on the unnecessary / useless green energy in Ontario..
Every dime of it BORROWED so the sleeping public wont feel any pain from their leftist political agenda being pushed through..

Bridges and transit it seems is another story altogether.. Gotta dig deep and its gonna hurt forever because it all so obviously necessary..

I say put it on our green tab....

Nothing is going to change in this province until people grow some spine and balls and get really $%#&*^g angry.

And in the last ten years that I have not seen one tiny piece of evidence that leads me to believe this will ever happen.

The average Ontarian has all the determination, brains, self-reliance and courage of a neutered ram.

revenue "TOOLS", good name for lieberals and dippers

i guess that 600 million dollars the liberals pissed away TO NOT BUILD energy-related infrastructure would come in handy right about now.

and how much money did she just burn to placate the teachers unions?

It's a condemnation of both the GTA media and Ontario civil culture that we are even entertaining the idea of allowing this criminally malfeasant Liberal regime to run for office instead of indicting them for their many breeches of public trust and open malfeasance. Another indication the province's political culture is dumbed down and resides in dreamland.

Let's see...Hydro One, Ornge, windfarm/bird blenders, gas-fired power plant cancellations. Just wondering what that money might otherwise have done to benefit Ontarians. Or maybe if it hadn't been spent at all?
Everybody's laughing at the financial mess California's in only because they haven't looked at Ontario.

We Albertans thank Ontario for the 140,000 population increase in the last year. A lot of it was due to economic refugees from Ontario. The eventual increase in voting power will be nice but after the buggers screw up their own economy, they come here, shovel crap for $28 per hour with endless overtime and vote for the various Marxist parties.

One way Premier Wynne can return some lost revenue to Ontario is for her to surrender her salary and pension. She can also scrap the unwanted s x ed program her accused child p n friend developed.

Not subsidise the bird choppers? I thought that George Smitherman, when a provincial Cabinet minister, had locked Ontario into long-term contracts for wind farms.

Maybe Wynne should bring back the photo radar vans. They worked so well during Bob Rae's regime to bring in revenue.

At the St Clair stockyards in the 60's they used a Judas goat to lead cattle down a chute to their slaughter,the Judas goat would veer off at the last moment.
Dalton McGuinty was Mike Creepy Crawley's Judas goat leading Ontarians down the path to economic slaughter then veering off to his own payday.
Creepy Crawley's reward?
Millions of dollars for him and the presidency of the federal Liberals.
How many of his friends profited from the bird blenders?

The transit part is simple; educate people in what shoes to wear and instruct them how to walk to and from work. For those who live more than 20 miles from work, they could sleep in the office during the week and walk home for weekends. Ban the practice of parents driving their kids to school and the problem of childhood obesity will rapidly disappear. For those who disdain the pedestrian route, the welfare recipients of Ontario can be hitched to rickshaws and carry people from one location to another. In this manner one gets some of ones money's worth and deals with one of the most prevalent problems of people on welfare; being grossly obese and constantly whining that they don't get enough food.

There you have it - a city transportation plan that would be the envy of any environmentalist with health benefits to go along with it. Once enough money is saved from medical expenditures as a result of having a fitter population, one can consider building transit infrastructure but it likely won't be needed them.

Wynne's solution will be higher taxes on the productive, which means more industry fleeing Ontario, which will be followed by higher taxes on any remaining industries and eventually bankruptcy. It's the death spiral many Dem states are experiencing. Problem is, as Ontarians flee Ontario to find work and a future in the well-functioning provinces, they'll take their voting habits with them.

Wynn knows where she can stick herj2n revenue tools.

Leaving aside all the possible jokes about public transit, why not let infrastructure and public transit in Ontario become investor-owned and market-determined, instead of government-forced?

Wynne won't, which leaves only two realistic possibilities -- Andrea and Tim. If you don't believe that Andrea (who is certainly the more visually appealing) has anything much to contribute, in any meaningful way, to these questions, I'd say that it's time to "screw up your courage" (as Jack Granatstein and Michael Bliss said about Stephen Harper, at the time he was Canadian Alliance leader) and vote for Tim.

Wynne said Liberals know it will be a tough sell, but that money must be found for transit and other infrastructure projects.

Yeah. Start with a civic, provincial pay cut. MPPs having less staff. fewer foreign trips.
Get rid of useless schools with even more incompetent teachers. Cut bureaucracies in half. Starting with useless directors. Give up the green projects. Stop subsidizing cash eating provincial businesses. That would be a start. Oh I almost forgot. Rid yourself of the human rights circus.

Raise transit fares. You can ride the system anywhere and all day for $3.00

Fare to get to the airport in van from downtown is 4.25 last time I was there. There are over 1 billion rides and the thing is packed. Tells me they charge too little.

In fact I would charge at least 4.25 anf then add on another 50 cents as an expansion fee. So over 10 years there is 17 billion.

Then there is the waste that everyone else is pointing to. Lots of places to find money without disturbing non gta taxpayers.

I still think Wynne should just get out of politics before they throw her out. She's just a cookie cutter version of McGuinty. Go join her better looking twin brothers.

"...Calgary's turning Liberal Red already from all the newcomers...."

Can you show me one large urban center in this country that isn't red?

It is the inevitable result of government offices, government jobs, businesses that are dependant upon governments, and the dependency crowd.
