Corcoran (Post) - Ontario gets closer to an EU-style crisis

[Moviefan-2]

Even by the McGuinty government's standards, yesterday's fall economic statement at Queen's Park was a disappointment. It sure seems the government finds it very difficult to deliver bad news to people.

At some point, the government will have to say something substantive, but it looks like it won't be until sometime in the new year.

Just imagine how much better off Ontario would be today if Tim Hudak had been elected Premier

Fark they'd be better off if Donald Duck was Premier.

Seriously, the tipping point is coming next year when all the public service contracts come up for renegotiating.

BTW did people notice the story about that gas plant the Liberals started in Oakville? Well they then decided to cancel it because the residents made better environmental assessments than they did ( read : they were buying the seat in the election). Well it seems construction blasted ahead after the election. They didn't actually get around to cancelling it until this week and have had construction crews in excess of 100 plus regular equipment deliveries until then. Must have figured we hadn't wasted quite enough money on this debacle yet.

The Provincial Conservatives might have better chance of getting elected if Donald Duck was their leader

At some point even those people that happily go through life skipping along the surface without any real comphrehension will realize what's going on here. One would think by looking at what's happened in EU people would be a little bit more aware.

A friend of mine owns a little shop on Queen Street West. There are a lot of "street people" who hang around his and other shops scaring customers and begging for money. He said that most of them are from Quebec and they come to Ontario because our welfare payouts are much richer than what they can get in Quebec. Old Irish proverb: "Pay them more and they will come. Or, is it: "Build it and they will come.""
