Sorry- you are missing the point- those insane novelty stirling silver cans are NOT for ordinary people! They are being bought by the people who manage civil service pension finds! A few years back OSSTF Ontari-owe high school teachers union tried to sell their stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for fifty five billion dollars! Can you IMAGINE the legal fees for the mouthpieces who put that deal together? Even half of one percent is major money!
It is these financial advisor types, working on behalf of madly spending LIE-berals and civil service Hog unions who are behind the tax madness! In 2012, LIE-beral friendly Cdn news media STOPPED talking about the three hundred billion dollars - and CLIMBING pension debt owed to federal civil service Hogs!
Around the same time, the outgoing chairman of the OSSTF pension management board appeared on TVO/The Agenda and told us that by the time of the 2018 Ontari-owe election- NEXT JUNE- we would owe OSSTF fifty five billion dollars in LIE-beral pension promises!
Isnt that nice...the Lie-beral loving media whores going to such lengths to show us how hard the gravy train riding hogs of Working Family Coalition are striving to repair our worn out, broken down infrastructure......but lost in the breathless coverage given to `our heros` is that QUESTION: What Lie-beral jackass though it was a good idea to neglect our city (over many years) to this extent?
The media whores don’t seem to want to ask the REAL questions: like why water rates have gone up NINE PERCENT in each of the last five years and why water rates are slated to go up EIGHT PERCENT MORE in each of the next few years? Why will they not ask: how much of this money is being used to repair infrastructure and how much is actually being syphoned off to pay for solid gold pensions and gross entitlements of gravy train riders?
When things break we get all manner of extra costs and inconveniences, frozen pipes, flood damage with related insurance claims and out of pocket expenses for things like insurance deductibles; we are late for work and our wages docked as roads are blocked by water and ice, we lose pay because we are stuck on frozen subways and LRT instead of working, our businesses close for the day and generate no income because the power is off, we must cope with broken elevators and flooded hallways, there are fires in our electrical vaults......and yet through it all, Working Family collects its very nice pay cheque AND when the sun shines and the power is on and the toilets once again flush they turn around and DEMAND even more money....they get fine salaries and golden pensions and retire at 55 to play on a beach some place while we work to age 70 and sit in a dark cold room fretting over how to pay for our medical needs in a province that long ago decided that it was better to keep the gravy flowing for its friends and to hell with ordinary people! Rationed medical care means people DIE while waiting for help.....and that seems okay with our gravy train riders and their media pals!
And now loonie leftist goofs at media outlets such as Toronto (RED) Star do not understand why we do not buy their FAKE NEWS ANY MORE?
