Yeah well it turns out the Liberals lied about the finances in Ontario so it doesn't surprise me that Ford will have to take a second look on some promises. That's why we should never believe promises that politicians make because in all likelihood, they won't be kept. Look @ panty-waste JT - he said he was all for the middle-class and who is now taxed more than ever? Scammers, the lot of them!!

Yes- Wynne-bag LIE-berals SHOULD be facing fraud charges for uttering so many deliberate. planned, consistent and utterly self serving LIES about our finances!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But you can bet they have a handy legal loophole to duck into!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One has only to think of the Sudbury bribery trial where LIE-berals escaped on a very WEAK TECHNICALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


IT IS ILLEGAL to bribe an MPP- but they very carefully FIRED their old candidate BEFORE bribing the guy to shut up and go away!!!!!!!


And they FIRST BRIBED the replacement AND THEN HIRED the guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It IS ALL BRIBERY in the eyes of ordinary people- one paid to go and one paid to come aboard- but for the LIE-beral friendly judge- there WAS NO CRIME since neither the old candidate or the new candidate were actually SIGNED UP as a candidate when the bribes were paid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You can bet Ontari-owe LIE-berals have some nice little hair splitting legal defense for their budget lies as well!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the emissions test was such a great idea then WHY did Wynne-bag LIE-berals ORDER car companies to stop charging for it????????


Killing the emissions test will have VERY LIMITED EFFECT on air quality since so many cars are now computerized and they either run properly or DIE!!!!!!!


There is very little leeway in modern cars- they run or not- modern computer controlled systems much more often SHUT themselves down when major components are failing - unlike older machines that could struggle on in a half assed way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And of course- the REAL CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTION is the one LIE-berals are IGNORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Airplanes are the BIGGEST of all polluters- and it is over paid greedy civil service union Hogs who are the major users of airplanes!!!!!!!!


Modern cars are TRIVIAL compared to riding lawn mowers, atv`s, snowmobiles, Sea-doos and all those HUGE motorboats rumbling along the Trent Canal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How much gas does a 21ft boat with a THREE HUNDRED HORSE POWER motor burn in an hour of sight seeing- at 40 MPH????



Cut back on Hog gravy and it will reduce air travel.................AND CLEAN THE AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attack- over 25 percent of the worlds airline fleet was grounded for 9 months- while scientists MEASURED A REAL IMPROVEMENT in air quality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NDP, Liberals, Greens fear Doug Ford will end party subsidies

Premier Ford vows to scrap key Liberal labour bill

TORONTO - Ontario Premier Doug Ford vowed Tuesday to scrap labour reform legislation from the previous Liberal regime that raised the province's minimum wage and introduced a range of other worker protections, a declaration that came days after his government said the law was under review.
Ford's comments caught the opposition off guard and upset those in the labour community who have been supporters of the law known as Bill 148.
"We're getting rid of Bill 148," the premier said in the legislature. "We're going to make sure we're competitive around the world."
The Progressive Conservatives said last week that they would halt a planned increase to minimum wage set to kick in next year as a result of the Liberal law, and the labour minister said the rest of the legislation was being reviewed.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Dig Doug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He will teach LIE-berals and their less intelligent Green and NDP cousins how to manage an economy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sadly- LIE-berals have made such a COLOSSAL MESS that it will take YEARS before we see much good economic news!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals have crippled us with debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The revelation that our Ontari-owe deficit is actually DOUBLE what LIE-berals have admitted to, has deeply alarmed bond rating services!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ford is now doing a dangerous high wire act with diseased Ontari-owe debt- courtesy of LIE-berals who left us with so much wild



spending- AND LIE-berals signed FOUR YEAR CONTRACTS with their civil service union Hog allies!!!!!!!!!!!


And since over 75 percent of ALL Ontari-owe provincial spending is on Hog pay, perks and pensions- Ford govt is LOCKED into



spending increases - with limited ability to alter much of anything- and our bond holders KNOW THIS NOW and they are watching us very carefully- ready to hit us with many new charges and fees if Ford weakens!

Ford takes anti-carbon-tax crusade to Saskatchewan, Alberta

Premier Doug Ford is taking his anti-carbon-tax crusade out West, meeting with like-minded provincial leaders in Saskatchewan and Alberta this week.
“I’m heading to Saskatchewan to meet with @PremierScottMoe and business leaders to discuss how we can make Canada more competitive,” Ford said via Twitter on Wednesday.
“This summer, Ontario joined Saskatchewan’s legal challenge of the federal carbon tax to ensure no family or business are burdened by this unfair tax.”
He was to leave for Saskatoon on Thursday morning.
Shortly after taking office, Ford put an end to Ontario’s cap-and-trade system, and at an annual premiers’ gathering in July he announced his government would join Moe’s court case challenging the federal government’s right to impose a carbon tax on provinces.
In August, his Progressive Conservative government launched its own constitutional challenge against Ottawa.
Later this week, Ford will be in Calgary to meet with Jason Kenney, leader of the United Conservative Party, and attend an anti-carbon-tax rally.
Ford will speak at the party’s “Scrap the Carbon Tax” event Friday with Kennedy, whose party is the official opposition.
In a statement, Ford said Moe and Kenney “share our commitment to protect Canadian families from this unfair and punishing tax.”
“The carbon tax is the absolute worst tax for Canadian families, Canadian businesses and the Canadian economy. It does nothing for the environment but instead takes money out of the pockets of hard-working people in order to fuel out-of-control government spending,” Ford said.
“I look forward to building a strong and united front with like-minded leaders who share our commitment to protecting our economy, protecting jobs and protecting the people from this costly and regressive tax.”

We suffered all this economic stress juist so LIE-berals could make Canada into a happy haven for returning Islamic fighters and for Muslim radicals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And now the Trump tariffs will ensure Yankees have enough money to guard their northern border a bit better!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What a great victory for LIE-beral values!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ontario PC bill to permanently remove benefits from convicted ISIS fighters ‘unconstitutional’, say experts

The Ontario Progressive Conservative government’s proposed plan to permanently strip convicted terrorists of benefits like access to healthcare coverage could be unconstitutional and exceeds the powers of a provincial government, say legal experts.

The private member’s bill sponsored by PC MPP Dave Smith, formerly called the Terrorist Activity Sanctions Act, would permanently remove those convicted of a terrorist offence from obtaining privileges like an Ontario driver’s licence, accessing provincial health coverage, housing assistance, or even a fishing and hunting licence.
Carissima Mathen, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Ottawa, said the bill could violate section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protects a person’s right to life.
“Even people in prison are entitled to medical treatment. So the idea that once someone, if paroled you can just kick them off health care, is not going fly,” Mathen told Global News.
She said the proposed legislation is also outside the mandate of the Ontario government as violations of the Canadian criminal code are a federal responsibility.
“Permanently stripping someone of healthcare is so extreme. This does not read as serious public policy,” Mathen said.
The bill announced over the weekend amends several acts to add additional punishments for individuals convicted under anything in sections 83.18 to 83.221 of the Criminal Code, which cover acts like participating in terror activities or leaving Canada to commit acts of terrorism.
“No person is entitled to continue to be an insured person if the person has been convicted of an offence under any of sections 83.18 to 83.221 of the Criminal Code (Canada) on or after the day this subsection comes into force,” says part of Terrorist Activity Sanctions Act.
In addition to removing access to certain social programs, the children of those convicted would also be considered "in need of protection" as defined by the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, which allows the government to remove the child from the parents' care, either permanently or temporarily.
Premier Doug Ford and other PC MPPs have said the bill was created to address the issue of returning members of the so-called Islamic State and perceived inaction from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“I am disgusted that the federal government is not dealing with this,” Smith told reporters Monday. “What we’re doing is we are taking away privileges from criminals. … We are making sure that no terrorist has more privileges than someone else in the province.”
Smith defended the bill, saying that a person who spends too long living outside of Canada can lose their provincial health insurance. However, Smith did not mention that a person can apply to have benefits reinstated after returning to Canada.
“I am not going to let Justin Trudeau do something that compromises the safety of Ontario,” Smith said.
Michael Nesbitt, an assistant professor of law at the University of Calgary, said despite the rhetoric from Conservatives at the provincial and federal levels, there are already laws to prosecute individuals who commit terrorism.
“We absolutely have a number of criminal laws on the book that would deal with these individuals. This legislation would seem to piggyback on that,” Nesbitt told Global News. “You are duplicating what is already happening at the federal level.”
Both Nesbitt and Mathen said the Ford government is exceeding its authority, as provinces can only prosecute a person for violating a provincial law. Terrorism is a federal responsibility.
“The province can only prosecute you for violating its own laws. Here they are trying to punish someone for violating a federal law and they can’t do that,” Mathen said.
The proposed act would amount to “de facto banishment,” according to Mathen, and a person who has been released after serving a prison sentence should not continue to be punished for the rest of their lives.
“We do that with murderers, people who have committed violent sexual assaults,” she said. “We reintegrate them. If they are reintegrated, they have the same social rights as everyone else.”
The proposal follows renewed debate around the issue of Canadian ISIS fighters who want to return to Canada. The Trudeau government has come under increased pressure following a series of Global News reports about Canadians captured in Syria over allegations they had been involved in ISIS.
One of them, Muhammad Ali, said in an interview he had served in an ISIS sniper unit. Global News has confirmed that U.S.-backed Kurdish forces are holding at least three Canadians accused of being ISIS fighters, three Canadian wives of ISIS foreign fighters and seven children.
Asked how removing someone’s driver’s license or OHIP card might fight terrorism, PC House Leader Todd Smith said it sends a “strong signal” to the federal government and has the full support of the Ontario PC caucus.
“We don’t believe terrorists should be coming,” Smith said, who confirmed the bill was tabled Monday afternoon. “It’s not going to fight terrorism, but what it’s going to do is tell terrorists that they are not welcome here in Ontario.”
In Ottawa Monday, the federal Conservatives tabled a motion in the House of Commons calling on the Trudeau to put forward a plan within 45 days for bringing to justice those who fought with the Islamic State.
The Liberals said they would support the motion, despite disagreeing with certain portions of it.

He got them and very rapidly.

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland says farmers will receive compensation from the federal government in the freshly-inked NAFTA replacement deal, called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA.

That comes just hours after Ontario Premier Doug Ford began calling for that compensation.

Isis raped and murdered and tortured and beheaded CIVILIANS at every opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our idiot Boy will NOT want to run an election based on defending ISIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One has only to look at Quebec- where local govt has REFUSED to take in any more illegals and thus - to salvage Quebec votes- Our idiot Boy has shipped the illegals off to Ontari-owe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our idiot Boy will - in the end- be FORCED to ensure that Isis fighters NOT be allowed to settle back in Ontari-owe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In fact it might end up being a MAJOR constitutional CRISIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


After all- if Ford can prevent Isis fighters from coming to Ontari-owe- then what is to prevent other provincial govts to demand the same deal??????????????????


In fact- considering what a two faced little weasel Our idiot Boy is- he may decide to STALL and do nothing about Isis till after the 2019 election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If he wins- then Isis comes home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If idiot Boy is defeated- then the new govt gets to deal with Isis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


All LIE-beral policy is FAILING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thus far the ONLY election goodie we have been offered is a carbon crap and trade rebate - one that will give us pennies while LIE-berals collect dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And if LIE-berals think a carbon tax rebate is a GOOD IDEA.............then WHY NOT KILL THE TAX??????????????????



And save all that paperwork??????????????????


Unless of course LIE-berals are issuing Fake News about the REAL COST of their carbon crap and trade scam?????????????????


Massive bribery and colossal deficits defended by endless LIES did not save Wynne-bag LIE-berals so WHY should such tactics save Our idiot Boy?????????????????
