Ontario PC Party to release details on ‘revelations of anti-Semitism’ involving NDP

The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario says it will announce “revelations of anti-Semitism” involving the NDP.

In a press release issued by the Ontario PC Party on Thursday afternoon, it said the announcement will be made by party candidates Gila Martow and Todd Smith at a downtown Toronto hotel on Friday morning.

Details surrounding the announcement weren’t released by the party, but it claimed the details are “explosive.”

Global News contacted the Ontario NDP on Thursday evening to ask about the press release. A spokesperson said they aren’t aware of the details and that the party is focusing on getting its message out.

Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is scheduled to make an announcement in Scarborough and speak with the media shortly after the scheduled PC announcement.

News of the announcement comes after the Ontario Liberal Party released an audio recording that appears to implicate Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford and Etobicoke Centre PC candidate Kinga Surma in a scheme to pay for PC memberships in 2016.

Ford denied paying for individual memberships during a campaign stop in Tillsonburg on Thursday. He said he wouldn’t take any actions against Surma.

Here's the meme in question:



Correct me if I'm wrong, but this could be insinuating that the people at the top were sending troops out by unilaterally disregarding a rule like Hitler would have done.

If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong but the context may not be anti-semitic.

She may have been criticizing the government at the time by comparing them to Hitler.

Controversial Scarborough-Agincourt NDP candidate Tasleem Riaz is an apparent “energy hog” who was taken to the Landlord and Tenant Board last July for not paying her air-conditioning bill, her landlord told the Toronto Sun Friday.
Ed (he didn’t want last name used), the landlord of the 60-unit Thorncliffe Park building where Riaz resides, said of 60 tenants, she has the fourth highest hydro bills (heat, electricity and A/C) and three air-conditioners in her two-bedroom apartment.
From May 2017 to May 2018, she used 5,577 kw/h compared to the lowest consumption at 1,202 kw/h.
A few years ago, Riaz had so many electrical appliances going, she “blew the main fuse” in her apartment, which had to be repaired, Ed added.
“She is head over heels most people in the building (in terms of energy consumption),” he said. “Yet the NDP talks (continually) about conservation.”
The hydro bills are covered in her rent but Riaz had agreed to pay the A/C herself as part of the tenancy agreement she struck with the management company in 2006, when she first moved into the Thorncliffe Dr. building.
He said Riaz hired someone from legal aide to fight the $700 bill ($200 of which was spent to file papers to get her to pay), went through the board process and then ended up just paying the bill.

“We’ll have to go after her this year for it (the payment) because it seems to be an ongoing issue with her,” he said, noting she even sent the property management a letter from her doctor in May of 2017 indicating she’s suffering from a multitude of medical conditions and needs the air conditioning units.
“She’s plenty smart…she knows her way around (the system)…she knows the ropes,” he said.
Riaz has come under fire for the supposedly inspirational Hitler meme posted on her personal Facebook page in 2013 — one liked by seven friends and shared by another. She has denied posting it, claiming her Facebook page was hacked.
In another 2011 Facebook post, Riaz referred to the Canadian mission to Afghanistan as a “slaughtering machine” — urging her fellow “Muslim brothers and sisters” to vote for former NDP leader Jack Layton.
Riaz did not return requests for comment. Neither did a spokesperson from the NDP campaign.

Ah! We can always count on Toronto Sun and people like Levy to give us the real truth about LIE-beral hypocrites and their less intelligent NDP cousins!


Here is a disturbing article that should be food for thought for any Ontarian giving serious thought to the wild promises being made by airhead LIE-berals and their less cunning and less shrewd cousins of NDP! With some comments of my own in brackets):

Moody's downgrades outlook on Ontario finances to negative

From Canadian Press. Published: April 18, 2018. Updated: April 18, 2018 11:38 AM EDT

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ News/ Ontario

(The reaction to the opinion of a bond rating service like Moody`s should conjure one word about Ontari-owe in tax payers minds: “screwed”! As in we are!)

TORONTO — A key ratings agency has downgraded its outlook on Ontario’s finances to “negative” from “stable” in light of the Liberal government’s plan to run six consecutive multibillion-dollar deficits.

Moody’s Investor Services says spending pressure will challenge the province’s ability to “sustain balanced fiscal results” over a number of years.

(This is polite banker speak meaning that NONE of those grand promises made by LIE-berals and NDPers will ever see the light of day! Whoever gets elected will also be getting the BILLS- and the expectation of bankers that DEFICIT SPENDING MUST END! Failure to heed the warning will result in an array of NASTY PENALTIES and punishments- read up on the messes in Greece and Cyprus for a look at reality!)

Moody’s also says financing requirements on the province’s debt — projected to be $325 billion in 2018-2019 — will be larger than previously believed, leading to a faster increase in interest expenses.

(Nobody truly knows the scale and sope of LIE-beral LIES about the size of deficits or thr consequences of their rash promises or the end result of the tariff war Our idiot Boy Justin has just kicked off with Trump because Our idiot Boy refuses to take EITHER Yankee or Cdn national security issues seriously! Does anybody recall how SHOCKED LIE-beral Ottawa was when they made it clear they expected the Yankees to shoot down any North Korean missiles that were lobbed our way? And Yankees delicately suggested that since its OUR COUNTRY then defending it might be OUR PROBLEM?)

Premier Kathleen Wynne defended the government’s pre-election budget, which will run a $6.7-billion deficit in 2018-2019, saying Moody’s change wasn’t a credit downgrade, which would effect borrowing costs for the province.

(No- its not a credit downgrade- its just fair warning that if anybody other than Ford gets elected then we can expect the cost of running Ontari-owe to SOAR! We can elect anybody we want- but there IS a higher price for some than for others!)

The opposition Progressive Conservatives criticized the government, saying interest on the province’s debt, projected at $12.5 billion this year, is already crowding out services like health care, education and infrastructure upgrades.

Moody’s maintained Ontario’s Aa2 issuer and Aa2 senior unsecured long-term debt ratings despite the change in outlook. Ontario heads to the polls on June 7.

(LIE-berals and NDPers have criticized Fiord for not having a fully detailed spending plan- as if simply saying NO to new spending- that will mainly go to civil service union Hogs anyway-required a whole lot of thought! Ontari-owe spends over 75 percent of the entire budget on Hog salaries and pensions and it is the Hog pensions that are the fiscal KILLER! LIE-berals have promised OSSTF- our Ontari-owe high school teachers a pension top up of fifty five billion dollars and we just do not have it!)

(It does not help that our LIE-beral loving hypocrite media has gone SILENT on the hundreds of billions of dollars that each of our 4 levels of govt owe to the various Hog unions! And our bankrupt economy and the hostility of bankers to our wasteful ways will ENSURE that NONE of the grand LIE-beral/NDPer promises are ever honoured!)

What a feckless c*nt.


Whats the matter Jinentonix? Have you suddenly recognized the scale and scope of the "magic trick" LIE-berals are playing with the contents of your wallet- and YOUR FISCAL FUTURE- with the help of their less intelligent cousins of NDP?



They DO KNOW how to make your money disappear- too bad they have NO CLUE how to make it come back again!


And it will take a FEDERAL ELECTION and the defeat of Our idiot Boy Justin and his moronic LIE-beral horde to get this trade war ended! Idiot LIE-berals are still thinking they can get ahead of Trump somehow or other - or at least tell enough LIES that they will not feel to much shame at their failure!


And how delusional are LIE-berals? How glib do they really think they are? Consider the words of LIE-beral Wynne-bag a week before the provincial election" : she says "Sorry, I am NOT SORRY"! AND SHE IS TALKING OF A COME BACK IN 2022!!! How utterly DELUSIONAL!!!!!!!!!!



The most hated woman in Cdn politics THINKS she can dream up some fresh and new and compelling LIES to tell us? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And how awful it must be to be a privileged rider of that grand govt gravy train as it rides into the end of the line? The grand gravy train that ugly reality is about to derail! How sad that civil service union Hogs have had such a FINE RIDE- and now they find the tickets they thought were good for a lifetime actually have a time limit!


Yes- all those wonderful entitlements and that endless supply of gravy went on YOUR credit card as well as ours - and the next leaders of CANADA will be ensuring you pay your full share!


All those LIE-beral pension IOU`s are WORTHLESS- we simply do not have the billions of dollars needed to honour the LIE-beral crap! Financially you would be better off going out into the deep woods under a full moon- its the best time according to LIE-beral rumours-and looking for Leprechaun gold rather than counting on LIE-beral promises!


And Hogs are waking up to that- hence the ETFO/elementary teachers union choice to support NDP/Horvath instead of LIE-berals!


But oh GOSH- those NDPers are well known to bankers and bond traders and oh dear- Horvath is going to get her credit cut off even faster than LIE-berals- I refer you back to the earlier comment where I said NDPers are the LESS INTELLIGENT COUSINS of LIE-berals!



ALL the LIE-beral- and NDP policy is collapsing in DISGRACE- just spinning in circles like turds in a flushed toilet! Any fool can dream of castles in the air- as the loonie leftists have proven- but it takes REAL solid fiscal foundations to build anything useful!

The f*ck you prattling on about? Where the hell have I ever given the impression that I'm liberal or a dipper? I'm apolitical. Politics based entirely on one specific ideology is bullshit. And in a country where there's merely the illusion of democracy, it's serious bullshit.
The constant string of promises to restore accountability and transparency to govt have been repeated so often they've become meaningless platitudes. And as long as enough people are blindly willing to swallow the claptrap of their preferred party, there never will be transparency or accountability in govt again.

Pleasantly warm? What part of Ontario? In southwestern Ontario it was incredibly humid.

I grew up around the London area, and Mississauga.

Nobody had air conditioning and nobody wanted it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The guy slagging ANY view that is hostile to LIE-berals and NDpers wants to tell HE IS APOLITICAL!!!!!!


That is truly the finest kind of LIE-beral CRAP!


By the way- you do not actually have to be a member of the LIE-beral or NDP parties to QUALIFY AS A LIE-BERAL!



It is enough that you get most or all of your money from preferential treatment offered by shameless vote buying LIE-berals!


And that you be working hard to defend that preferential treatment instead of apologizing to much abused tax payers- as it appears you are!

Would that be due to the weather or the cost?


My parents always objected to air conditioning because of the cost mainly- but there is something to be said for their idea of going out in whatever weather and getting acclimatized!



And of course the relentless electricity price gouging of LIE-berals does not help the matter!


The other issue with air conditioning is the as GTA grows it becomes ever more of a "heat island"- trapping ever more mid day sunshine in masses of concrete- to allow it to radiate back out half the night!


This is a function of the Toronto official plan! City planners want to jam another MILLION PEOPLE into Toronto and this means huge new slabs of concrete will be available to hold in summer heat much longer than used to be the case- Toronto planners are literally FORCING people to use air conditioning in self defense- and there are no longer any large shade trees on our streets to act as NATURAL AIR CONDITIONERS!


Check it out with a thermometer- there will be about 15 degrees celsius difference between a yard in full mid day sun and a yard in deep shade!
