C'mon, really... what did you think...
Apart from funding sex-change operations... Dalton was gonna do with that OHIP tax surcharge?
-- QUEENS PARK -- Thousands of Toronto welfare recipients could soon be able to cash in on their belly bulge.**********
While it would be certain to cost the province millions, the McGuinty government says it will consider the controversial proposal to redefine the obesity boundaries. Welfare recipients with a body mass index (BMI) above 40 currently get a special diet allowance of $20 a month.
Under the plan, the $20 monthly allowance would expand by more than 150% to nearly $51.
The number of Toronto welfare recipients collecting the meal ticket has grown by at least 20% since 2005, despite a supposed provincial clampdown.
About 31,000 social assistance recipients (those on both the Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support programs) were cashing in on the special diet allowance in August last year.

Looks like Ontario taxpayers, again courtesy of Premier McSlippery, were paying the shot here, too...
-- TORONTO -- The disturbing tale of a baby girl found abandoned in a freezing north Toronto stairwell four months ago took a further grim twist yesterday as police announced the arrest of her biological parents on multiple charges of child neglect and assault.*
Both aged 30 and unemployed, the pair were married about six years ago and had moved to Kitchener last month, Detective Keith Moxley told a news conference.
During the couple's brief court appearance later in the day, it was learned they have three other young children, all of whom have been in the care of the Children's Aid Society since their parents were arrested Wednesday night.
Asked if he understood the charges, the father nodded. But his wife, who appeared to be pregnant, seemed confused, telling the court she did not want legal representation from duty counsel Brad Bechard, and that "I don't know what the procedures are."

That last line...was she admitting she doesn't know what the 'parenting' procedures are?
This will keep several social workers busy in La La Land for a while.
Now don't let them catch any Christian parents spanking the kids.
They pay fat welfare recipients more money!? Is that so they can get even fatter and then sue us for causing it? This is friggin' unbelievable! They're supposed to use the money to buy 'healthier' foods - get real. Money should be taken away from welfare fatties so they won't be able to eat as much - that's the solution.
Just a minute...
this means that it is not right wing capitalist evil corporations such as Walmart and MacDonalds that are making people fat,
but leftist-liberals with their socialist solutions.
the more I learn about those leftist-socialist-liberals, the more I am shocked at their supreme stupidity.
WHO IS REALLY COMMITTING THE FRAUD AROUND HERE
The general public has no idea what the system is really like. They think fraud is ramped in Ontario Works and ODSP. Here is something to think about and it is just the tip of the iceberg according to our research.
The provincial government says welfare fraud is around 2%.
Who is really committing the fraud around here?
The federal government says income tax fraud is 13%

Premier Dalton McGuity is handing over a 9.7 million dollar corporate welfare cheque to Kellogg. Kellogg’s profit was $1 billion. Also Ford got a $55 million cheque and is now cutting shifts, while GM got $29million and is also cutting shifts.
$150 million called corporate welfare for a profitable industry.

The Ontario Government has earmarked $150 million to encourage pharmaceutical companies to do more drug research and manufacturing in the province.
Ontario government coughs up about $940 million a year on grants like this one.
Health Canada has been advised that Tic Tacs are being voluntarily recalled. Premier McGuinty should demand taxpayers get back the $5.5 million the government gave to this corporate welfare failure.

An internal audit in Hamilton, Ontario showed that Ontario Works staff were taking the city’s credit card out and enjoying a nice lunch privately.
The same audit showed that the Ontario Works workers had uninterrupted access to the main computer that issues their clients checks and admit missing cheque signatures.
