"Back in 1988, when the Sun's Paul Jackson was at the Saskatoon Star Phoenix, he broke a startling story that showed the NDP's Tommy Douglas, now revered by the CBC as 'the greatest Canadian of all time,' eagerly recommending the CASTRATION OF HOMOSEXUALS and chronic criminals."I say no more half measures... burn it all to the ground!!!
Douglas had expressed these views in his master's thesis at McMaster University.

There have been at least 29 homicides in long-term care homes in Ontario in the past six years, a health-care advocacy group said Monday. “The level of homicide in Ontario’s long-term care facilities is higher than virtually anywhere else in our society,” Ontario Health Coalition executive director Natalie Mehra said.Take note that they're actually shading these numbers...
When considering those statistics in the context of Ontario having about 80,000 people living in long-term care homes, that’s a homicide rate four times the city of Toronto.
"The actual total of long-term care homicides is higher than the 29 found in the coroner’s data, Mehra said, because they don’t include the 8 victims of nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer."**********
“It was the perfect storm. The bathroom was right there,” recalled Ohab. He sawed her body in the bathtub and ditched his clothing, her body parts, apparel, cell phone and the sofa where she smoked crack.Makes perfect sense, no?

Merrilee Fullerton, the minister of training, colleges and universities, says in a news release the province is not in a position to fund the expansions because of its $15 billion deficit.Face it, Ontario, it's not just you... your kids and grandkids will be on the hook for the Liberals legacy of shameless waste.

To call this a minor triviality of Canadian life is to ignore one of the country’s highest-profile policy debates of the past half-decade. In 2012, centrist Liberal politician Martha Hall Findlay provoked the conversation by running for her party’s leadership on what was a mostly one-issue campaign to abolish dairy tariffs.
Kathleen Wynne, who stepped down as Liberal leader after the party’s dramatic downfall, said she hopes premier-designate Doug Ford will change the rules to grant the designation, which currently requires eight seats in the legislature. “I think it’s important,” she said. “I hope that Mr. Ford will agree.”**********
"It’s unlikely the NDP would support loosening the rules around party status considering they were denied a similar reprieve under the Liberals in 2003," said Jonathan Malloy, a political science professor at Carleton University.
"There is a retreat in the movement," said Rioux, 69, on Saturday afternoon. "We've suffered a series of defeats, and it's hard to attract people when you don't win."
It also sets the new premier on a potential collision course with the voters of Ontario, who appear more divided than ever. Despite Ford’s incessant claims to speak for the “people,” the people are polarized, and the electorate is not one.You mean the people who just elected a majority Conservative government... right?
The majority of people who voted against his vision of disruption, destruction and dysfunction in a province that is a bulwark of progressive government."
"Wynne acknowledges election is lost, urges voters to ensure NDP or PC minority. The Liberal leader has, until today, been defiant in the face of daunting poll numbers that suggest the Grits could lose official party status after the vote."
Reminiscent of the privatization of Highway 407, the sale involves a massive transfer of wealth from the Government of Ontario, and ultimately all Ontarians, to the private sector. Within two days of Great Canadian’s financial disclosures of the deal’s terms its stock price jumped by 36 per cent, adding some $840-million of market value to the company.

Continued poor-decision making by the Ontario Liberals, especially when it comes to protecting taxpayer dollars, only serves to fuel anti-government, anti-establishment views in the province.

Marie Critchlow, who owns Just Incredible Hair and Beauty Products, believes there’s "A DELIBERATE EFFORT FROM THOSE IN POWER" to push out Little Jamaica’s businesses. There’s little direct evidence for the charge, but the sentiment is echoed by others in the neighbourhood.Note that the $5.3-billion transit line is being paid for and built by the provincial government.

While the changes announced in the letter are not a violation of Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, Wynne says she wants Joyce Jr. to reverse his decision.
Dan Kelly, head of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, says the Wynne Liberals were repeatedly warned that increasing the minimum wage would hurt workers, but went ahead with the move anyway for purely political reasons.
“Business owners had asked for a full impact assessment of the minimum-wage change to determine what the net effect would be, but the government refused to allow that to happen. All they cared about are the optics of this, to flex their credentials with union members in order to try and win the next election.”
