Not surprised at all....isn't it a shame.............. yet I am sure no-one will be surprised by this.... This is the new norm in government and as taxpayers we have learned to take it.............and just say "not surprised at all"....
No surprises. Just file it with the rest of the Liberal corruption. Perfectly acceptable in Ontari-owe.
And of course, the corrupt bunch say the auditor is wrong.........who would have thunk it !!!!
Was listening to the radio this morning and Sue-ann Levy (Sun writer) was on as a guest and she is estimating the auditor general's numbers are conservative. Her guess was there is a chunk of money buried in various ministry projects rather than be tied to the Pan-Scam Games budget. Just to give you an idea, if the numbers are to be believed, the games actually cost us and extra 61% from the original number announced. We were never told about the extras (athlete's village, etc) in the original budget cost for the games.Quote:

I suppose rather than give hard numbers and endeavor to stick to them, we are simply going to eyeball I have no doubt this budget will also spin out of control. Don't forget the "original" Pan-Scam Games Budget was announced $1.44 Billion. Then it was announced the original number didn't include various "side projects" like the athlete's village or $10 million to the Pan Am secretariat (which turns out was actually awarded $43 million). Anyone should view any announcement by this government about budgets with a very wary and withered eye.
Yet people keep voting them back in. She has a 20% approval rate right now and I bet she wins next time due to union and police support. I truly think Ontario is doomed. trudough will throw money at her in the election year to hoodwink the weak minded into thinking she balanced the budget and they will get 4 more years.
It is getting hard to like this place anymore. also getting harder to make ends meet. They don't seem to care
