MNR has been and always will be the first gov't agency to see budget cuts. Been that way since the mid 70's so nothing new here. There'd be a huge outcry if those cuts were applied to health instead.
Got to cut somewhere sadly... Libs ran up the credit cards, time to start paying them down
I think we can see why!
As of March 31, 2018, the Ontario government's total debt is projected to be CDN$348.79 billion. The Debt-to-GDP ratio for 2017-2018 is 37.1% and interest on the debt is CDN$11.97 billion, representing 8.0% of Ontario's revenue and its fourth-largest spending area.

This Province has been living on a maxed out credit card for years. Anybody with a brain would know that is unsustainable. I also don’t want my kids and eventually thier kids paying for me.
For all intents and purposes,Ontario is functionally bankrupt. Only the country of Greece is in worse shape,financially,yet,there's a large element of "progressives" in Canada who have no problem adding debt upon debt without one shred of consideration that at some point,that debt must be repaid. Now,I suppose that shouldn't be too surprising considering that Gen X,Gen Y and milleniels have maxxed out every credit card and are holding a catastrophic amount of household debt not including mortgages.
There MUST be cuts. Socialism is great if there's an economic base that generates tax dollars to no end to pay for everything,but,Canada doesn't have that luxury,anymore. The sooner everyone gets on board with that,the better off we'll all be. It will take decades to complete,but,start we must.
Bet you didn't expect the responses that came back at you? You're out of your league fishcan, leave it to the ones who know.Quote:

If that is your point than i suspect you are on the money (pardon the pun) but the others when referring to the dismal fiscal state at the provincial level are not wrong either.Quote:

Your Libranos are the reason for the cuts !!!!Quote:

Ford said he would find 'efficiencies', that he would not have to cut and slash, as there was lots of wasted money in all departments, or so he said.
