”We were taken aback by the extent to which racism is alive and well and wreaking its deeply harmful effects on Ontarians and on the very fabric of this province,” stated the report released this morning by Roy McMurtry and Alvin Curling.And it only cost Ontario taxpayers 2 million dollars... to unearth the horrible truth.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
From the "Ways to Save $2 million" pamplet:**********
1) dust off the report the NDP created after the Yonge Street "riots"
2) dust off Ken Dryden's files as "Youth Commissioner"
Cost: free if you use your hand, a few bucks from petty cash if you want a duster. Jesus, does ANYONE read the crap these commissions put out?
UPDATE: The 100 million dollar question...
...will Premier McSlippery pony up?
Creation of a special youth commissioner, an enhanced role for schools and a $100-million allocation of funds will head the recommendations of a long-awaited provincial report on youth violence to be released today.I mean, c'mon... it's not like we need that money for anything else.
Some of the requested $100-million would be new money, but more would be redirected from current government budgets, and, in all, at least a dozen different ministries would be affected.
