Growing equalization payments to Ontario threaten country: expert | News | National Post
By Lee Greenberg
TORONTO — In just three years, Ontario has become the second-largest recipient of equalization payments in the country, with $2.2-billion set to flow into its “have-not” coffers this year.
Only Quebec, which takes in $7.8-billion in such payments, receives more.
------------------------
And this is over and above all the money that was given to Ontario for such things as putting tires on cars because they can't compete with Japan and Korea and a slough of other things.
If one was to add up all the money that has been paid to Ontario it would probably be far in excess of $3 Billion!!
So, what's a matter with you easterners???
You like to tell us how to run the country but you can't even run your own province.
You keep saying how great immigration is for you, and Ontario has the highest levels of immigration, so where are the results??? Like Duhhhhh!!!!
Ok, so now lets hear the whining, excuses, name calling (oh yeah, your good at this, because you never have a constructive answer that makes sense), and all the other stuff that your so good at!!
Oh, and don't forget to blame the Fed Gov as well, I know you guys like to include them in your complaining..
