The Canadian Landowner Alliance advocates for provincial legislation that recognizes property rights, and, that the Federal Government of Canada enshrines property rights in the Charter of Rights and freedoms.
Premier Wynne says it's a computer glitch; others believe the $242-million social assistance management program that the government just rolled out will never work.
Using her figures about Ontario's welfare crowd and those on disability, there is a far worse story in those lines: Ontario has a population of 12,800,000. I,470,100 are seniors; 2,976,665 are children and/or post-secondary students. That means there are 8,353,245 people who are potentially "in the workforce". However, Ontario has 7 percent unemployment - so scratch another 584,727 from that figure...so you're down to 7,768,517. Statistically 20 percent (1,553,703) are public servants, so we're down to 6,214,814 people in the private sector directly supporting (a) 446,500 welfare recipients, (b) 448,500 disability support recipients, (c) 584,727 on pogey, (d) 1,553,703 government workers.
I knew the ratio was bad, but this is absolutely terrible. Why does the PC Party stay silent about this? Does anyone in the media, even the Toronto Star, really think that this is sustainable?

Ready for it? 6.24 million support 3.03 million.
Or, you could also count the seniors, children and students and effectively say that 6.3 million support 6.5 million. Lovely.
DeleteCripes, are you guys ever screwed. How are those cabins coming along? :)))
