Remember the melamine being added to animal food, and in milk in asia by chinese companies? Really you can't trust your suppliers even when they're supposedly good in some cases. That should have been an open and shut case for bringing manufacturing back home.
Well, if you're an ideological shill that thinks that the PC's are "trump style conservatives" boy oh boy, I bet you just fucking cheered on all that debt that the liberals dumped on the province with their ideological pandering. Without of course, any reliable assessment that it would be good for the province.
Same reason Alberta went NDP: too many parties on one side of the spectrum, not enough on the other. Ontario split their left wing vote between the Liberals, NDP and Green parties.
You'd be wrong, on why the Alberta went NDP. They went NDP because Alberta will never really vote for the Liberals. And people were pissed off with the absolute corruption of the PC's to the point that they no longer exist as a party. In many cases it wasn't "too many parties on one side of the spectrum" in the previous election where they won, the ridings where the split happened it was between NDP, Wild Rose and Liberals. And people voted Liberal because they were unsure about Wild Rose after several fuckups and the gigantic smear job by the media. Wild Rose and the Liberals are ideologically opposite and that's where the vote splitting happened.
Ontario didn't split the vote between liberals, ndp, and green though. Ontario rejected the liberals and went either NDP or PC. In nearly all the ridings where the liberals held, they only got token support from the hardcore base.
Do you remember why the Liberals were in power for 15 in the first place?
You mean the part where the PC's ran effectively a "Liberal in PC clothing" and people refused to vote for them? Because Toronto is a gigantic voting block, and if you snatch those roughly 50 seats, you only need 13 more to form the government.
Do you remember the part about how "the debt is going to look worse then we believe it is?" That the PC's stated when they were running their campaign? So when we're paying 10% of our income on just interest payments, and now have a debt ratio that's higher then when greece collapsed, where would you start cutting money from?
You mean ideological programs that the liberals put into place? The first was to chop the program called a "carbon tax" that drove the price of energy up. The second was reverting a sex-ed program that was mainly developed by a pedophile who fucked little kids, forced little kids into sexual acts, and manufactured graphic child pornography. The third was cutting the number of city councilors to the same number of riding seats. Reminder that the number of councilors is determined BY the province.
You can believe whatever you want, but if you live in Ontario then you already know we spend 10% of our budget on interest payments for that $340B of debt that's crushing us, just like it crushed greece.
There isn't enough tax revenue. Ontario is broke, absolutely 100% broke, so broke it looks like Greece before their debt crash and I'm not even joking. Nearly 10% of the provinces income is spent on interest payments, and that's right now.
The previous government did everything they could to push industry jobs out(we've lost nearly 350k industry jobs in the last 5 years alone). That's well paying jobs where the average wage was north of $67k/year. This isn't FUD, the previous auditor general under the Liberal Party of Ontario said exactly the same thing, not only that but she ripped them a new asshole and explicitly stated that the entire UBI scheme was an attempt at vote buying, and the money would have been better off fixing the issues with disability and workmans compensation.
FYI: The average person on disability in Ontario gets $9200/year. That's YEAR not month, and that's all you fucking get.
So you're really upset that despite people in Toronto, and the Toronto media for literally years calling for a reduction of the number of city councilors and it's finally happened under Ford. Hey guess what? In Canada, the provinces dictate how many councilors a city is allowed to have. It's in the charter, you do know this don't you?
I can't wait for you idiots to start claiming that the reason why Ford won the premiership was because of russians, and not a decade and a half of the liberal party fucking this entire province up.
FYI Canada doesn't have a "stand your ground" law. Our law fundamentally is built around "surrender or flee." It's not working very well as the increase in violent crime is coming from people who aren't native Canadians these days, but people imported from poorer parts of the world.
Upside: The laws(via case law) are slowly changing, it's not quite to that point but getting very close.
And, you've also just answered the question of "why did Trump get elected." I find it funny that people call Trump a racist, but that only happened after he abandoned the democrats and their bullshit and ran on a republican ticket.
The cleanliness and nice manners really got to you, eh?
Toronto is one of the dirtiest and shittiest places in Canada, the only place that comes close is Vancouver. It's also on track for being one of the most violent places in Canada, and has it's own ghettos now. You want clean and nice manners? Head to small cities.
If Ontario lost Toronto (or more likely the whole GTA, no?) would the province be richer or poorer? How much provincial tax revenue comes from the GTA and how much provincial government spending goes on in the GTA? With about half of the province's population in the GTA I would not be surprised to find that the GTA is "gives more than it gets". Even just Toronto has about one fifth of the province's population.
Likely richer, more taxes go into Toronto then they payout, because provincial taxes offset Toronto's lower property taxes. Those are offset by the ontario general revenue fund. The rest of the province is farming and industry, depending on the year they make up between 50-70% of the GDP of the province.
Politically the rest of the province would probably love to get rid of the voting power of half the population, but it seems unlikely that it would be a very good economic change for anyone outside the GTA.
The reality is, in Canada it wouldn't matter. If Toronto became a new province and the rest of Ontario came up short on income it would be offset. Canada has a monetary policy called "country equalization" meaning areas that generate more money, pay for the services of the poorer parts of the country. So when Ontario was rolling in manufacturing jobs for the better part of 80 years, they paid the offset of nearly the rest of the country besides Alberta. When Alberta was rolling in so much money back during the oil price spike, they did the same.
The worst, I mean best is that we'd see a significant drop in the amount of bureaucracy in the province. Depending on the numbers by whatever company looks it up. Between 17% and 30% of the province(depending on year) is directly employed by the province itself. That's a lot of people.
Well it couldn't have anything to do with Canada being mostly wilderness with winters that make it the Russia of North America or anything too. If you live in Southern Ontario, you're spared most of that minus the snow from the lakes. You don't see many -40C winter days(usually 0, and I only ever remember one from when I was a kid). Lot's of -30C to -35C days though. You also don't deal with the long daylight/long winters either. I can't blame people either, I worked in the far north a bunch of times and lived in the far-north living zone(250km south of the arctic circle) a couple of times while working on heavy industry jobs. The whole perpetual summer daylight was nice, at times but sure fucked with your sleep.
Strange, having lived in Southern Ontario most of my life, I've yet to see anyone who thinks that's the only part of the province that exists.
Might also be, because Southern Ontario has a denser population in turn require more map area for the number of cities. The scales have to be different, because there's "more stuff" in southern ontario then northern ontario. Just like how the GTA takes up 2-3 pages on a paper map. Most of northern ontario is wilderness, or isolated roads.
It is. There are 124 seats in the provincial legislature. The GTA has around 50 seats, you need 63 seats to form a majority government. If you lock the GTA, you can win with nearby regions, along with London and Ottawa or a couple of larger counties.
Maybe it's the news sources you're using that are quiet about it? When was the last time a media source you used, quoted the freedom caucus for example? Which has been quite vocal on the budget. Besides, there's lots of RINO's left but are getting primaried by tea-party type people. The neocons got run out, funny though that they were welcomed with open arms by the left, progressives, and democrats.
I've yet to year a reasonable answer from the democrats, progressives, etc., on why they openly welcomed people like David Frum and have been spouting his bullshit, especially after their staunch anti-war stances for years.
Just wait until you learn that naming cities after what the area produced, or the people that settled there from the old world was the norm in quite a few places. Now to really blow your mind: Kitchener, Ontario was named Berlin, Ontario until WWII happened.
Translation: You don't live in Ontario. You didn't see the fucking mess that the Liberals of Ontario left the province in. You didn't see the policies that drove middle-income jobs out. You didn't see the collapse of the middle class created by those policies. You didn't hear the bullshit promoted by the liberals saying 'service jobs are the future.' You didn't see masses of people lose their jobs when the minimum wage was spiked from $11/hr to $15 in the span of a couple of years. You didn't see the outrage when people found out that the sex-ed curriculum was mainly written by a pedophile that fucked young kids, forced them into sexual acts, advocated the same, and produced graphic child pornography and the liberal parties attempt to white wash it - he was really just a good guy(yeah, you read that one right). You didn't see the number of people working three or four part-time jobs, because there are no full time jobs. You didn't see housing prices go from $320k to $1.6m in less then 7 years. You didn't see the provincial government(liberals) hand out free shit to illegals, while people couldn't afford to pay for electricity. You didn't see that same government kick the poor out of low income housing(really hotel rooms) for illegals and dump them in the street. You don't know that the average waiting list for low income housing is between 6 and 8 years in most of Ontario today.
You don't know why family doctors refused to do hospital rounds(hint it was because the government stopped paying them). You don't see the massive shortage of available hospital space for surgeries. You didn't see then cuts to healthcare, but they sure could find money for trans surgeries(lots of money btw). You didn't see the cut and gut to mental health care, but they found plenty of specialists for again those trans folks. You didn't see the mass imbalance of suicide support groups or the lopsided funding for female suicide support groups(never mind that men make up the majority of those). You didn't see the government fawning all over a half-dozen native kids on a reserve committing suicide, and promising lots of money, lots of job help, lots of people to help them do stuff. But you didn't see them offer a fucking penny, person, or even a word when 18 kids killed themselves in the span of a month in Woodstock, Ontario.
You didn't see your electricity prices go from $0.04-0.07kWh to $0.185 in the span of a few years. You didn't see the malfeasance, election tampering, vote buying, illegal document destruction(related to vote buying for a NG power plant) or general corruption of them taking money from special interest groups to pad their coffers, then declaring it illegal to do so after they got those kickbacks.
Seriously. Fuck and you. Ford got elected because all of that happened under the Liberal Party of Ontario that was in power for 15 years.
Hospitals in most cases have long since moved to "one-time-use" tools for surgery and that's the end of it. The used stuff is bagged and shipped for destruction and new medical tools made. That means even if you have clean tools, someone fucking up during their wash can transfer it to a patient. Even day-to-day items are pretty much use once-throw away, simply because the transmission possibility is way too high. The problem with MRSA is that it can thrive on surfaces, hands, and so on. It can thrive through wash cycles of bedding and so on too. This is where the real problem comes from.
This is what happened to my uncle about a decade ago when he had to get his kneed replaced. It went well, then he started to complain of pain. Then he got sick hard, and fast. His knee swelled up, and they hit him with a heavy dose of antibiotics to kill it. Problem was it was already immune to everything they had available at the time. He had to go back in for surgery, they pulled the knee joint, then found out it had spread into the bone and was eating it. They gave him two options if that was the case, remove the leg above the infection site or try cutting back the bone as far as they could and trying again. He took option 2, and he got lucky.
Old days in the hospital it was always washing down surfaces with a mix of iodine and usually a secondary. It was the push for cheaper options that led to the wide-spread use of rubbing alcohol usually 70% instead of 99%. For instruments back in the day it was always baking at 350F for 20 minutes, then wrapping in sterile white linen. That's what nurses were also taught back in the 50's and 60's as well for tool cleanup. Again that heavily changed in the 70's and 80's.
FYI in most states, the posted limit for trucks is 60mph, some are 55 but not many. 16hrs is allowed, if your company has paid the fines a head of time for it. But you're allowed 12hrs off automatically at the end of the driving period.
Depending on the truck, most are averaging around $0.15/mile for fuel. Mountains aside of course.
Yeah, but we're talking about equipment that's already being used. SOFC really don't "exist" outside of trial or development phases, but companies are willing to put their name on the warranty period for PEMFC's. Remember that the fuel cell is doing the work as the APU, and the vehicle is off. That's the whole point of PEMFC's which use diesel. They can be started without having the vehicle running, and have their own draw pump from the fuel line.
Don't forget that Ontario's deficit went from 100B(2000) to 340B(2018) under a single party who threw the money at any social program that they thought would keep them elected. Threw money at whatever any environmentalist group dangled before their eyes. Ignored low income housing, ignored people on disability, ignored the gigantic scandal at workmans comp.
People are so angry that when a person running for I think it was mayor or counselor claimed that Toronto should be it's own province, people started cheering for it. Oh it wasn't the people in Toronto, they have this idea that us rednecks will starve to death without them. It was rural, and rural-urban voters who were cheering this idea on, after nearly a generation of being literally fucked over by a single city getting all the money they wanted because it's such a gigantic voting block.
Ultimately Ford is a fiscal conservative and leans social libertarian. If you think he's a Trumpette then you're doing a fine job of regurgitating the NDP, and left-wing media's talking points. Safe injection sites don't help the poor, they hurt them, increase crime, and spill over into other neighborhoods. Ask BC how it's working out. 15 years of the Liberal Party of Ontario has left ALL of the social assistance programs broken. Gutting and cutting of disability. The average wait for low-income housing in most places is now 7 years. But keep going and telling everyone how it's all Ford's fault, not McGuinty or Wynne.
In Ontario, ODSP will cover a large part of your apprenticeship. If you're low income, ODSP will give you the money for training. UBI should be placed at two levels: People on disability, and for people who were fucked over by Workmans Comp. Oh, and in Ontario, workmans comp has fucked over tens-of-thousands of people under the Liberals leadership, including doctors who didn't see the injured workers but denied them anyway. Yeah the guy missing an arm and leg is gonna get right up and go back to work.
Yes? Most cities(and people) expect pet owners not to be assholes and do it on their own, and people have no problems going after pet owners who don't in those cases.
Remember the melamine being added to animal food, and in milk in asia by chinese companies? Really you can't trust your suppliers even when they're supposedly good in some cases. That should have been an open and shut case for bringing manufacturing back home.

perfect example of 'tyranny or the majority'
It is. There are 124 seats in the provincial legislature. The GTA has around 50 seats, you need 63 seats to form a majority government. If you lock the GTA, you can win with nearby regions, along with London and Ottawa or a couple of larger counties.
