ONTARIO: OLD HURON WORD FOR "SINKHOLE"

Ontario's economic action plan is absolutely brilliant.  If you lose 39,000 jobs, you just create 13,000 new government jobs to balance things up

  1. Sure. That'll work.

    But hey, that's what the dummies voted for. We need a couple of more cold winters and hydro costs to triple. If I may paraphrase Boswell:

    "When a man knows he is to be hanged, it concentrates his mind wonderfully"

    1. Agreed. I don't think more than five out of one hundred voters in this country understand that guys and girls working in the private sector pay everyone's salary. As a matter of fact, I bet you they could not tell you what the private sector is.

      I do hope you're right Jamie, that people will eventually smarten up. But I don't see a lot of promise, especially after the last election here in Alberta.

    2. I don't see it either here in Ontario tj230. People tend to think it's a battle between Liberals (socialists) and Conservatives (whatever that means anymore), but the system is rotten with self-serving bureaucrats and politicians, and apathy/economic ignorance in the electorate. Find a way to survive the tax man and observe "the decline".

  2. There has to be a ratio of public to private sector workers that is the 'critical mass' of economic sustainability. In Canada we are currently at a ratio of about 1:4. This of course, simply cannot continue if the country wishes to have true economic growth.

      You're right, and Wynne knows that. So she's working to get the ratio improved to 1 for 3. ;)
