Each year, in mid-December, the federal government releases its calculation for what each province is entitled to receive as equalization. This time, the numbers are especially important.

They show how much Alberta’s recession lowered its ability to raise revenues. They show Ontario has graduated to “have” status, but (interestingly) will still receive equalization payments.

Interestingly, you can't read.

Sorry asylum seekers

And your point was......

 

[Twin_Moose]

Will you be a have Prov. by Dec.? Oh yeah the cons will have the floor you may have a chance

 

[mentalfloss]

Not to worry. Ford will make us a have not province again so you can pay the bill.

It's what you've always wanted.

 

[Twin_Moose]

I agree it will take time for the Cons. to fill in the holes the Libs. dug in your economy

 

[mentalfloss]

With the lack of revenue or GDP growth, it will be pretty quick.

 

[Twin_Moose]

Nah it will take time, the hole is too deep

 

[mentalfloss]

See Trump.

 

[Twin_Moose]

His economy is rockin is that what you expect?

[Twin_Moose]

how does the unemployment rate compare between Ont. and the U.S. 5.5 in Ont. and 4.1 in the U.S. who's economy is better?

 

[mentalfloss]

What kind of a stupid question is that? :lol:


Especially when our unemployment has gone down and theirs hasn't.

The US doesn't count the one quarter of the population that is completely disenfranchised and is essentially living outside of the system ... pretty much the same quarter that doesn't get complete or any health care, doesn't vote, works casually and under the table, if at all. The US employment statistics have always been propaganda. 4.1 percent of the known and official workforce is unemployed. Double it for the real number.

We count differently here. Few of us are totally outside the system in Canada, as we have things like universal health care, native status to keep us tied to the Crown. Not so many illegals living in the shadows, here. Some, yes but not millions.

Whatever Doug's got a lot of work ahead of him to make Ont. look respectful again

Have until the AG report said that Ont. actually had a $8 Billion dollar deficit because they were trying to count pension funds as an asset

Yes, Doug Ford will make Ontario look respectful. :lol:

You do know that the PCs use the same accounting for their budgets as the Liberals, right?

So, take that 'awful' Liberal number and multiply it by a factor of 3 because Doug's cuts are going to triple our debt with nothing to show for it.

Gotta try something because your current overlords are sinking you in the swamp MOGA

Not even hired yet and he's already breaking promises.

He's going to bury Ontario in debt way worse than Wynne ever did.

Debt has never bothered you as Wynn was racking it up. You praised her increased deficits just 2-3 weeks ago (even though the real deficits were even a lot worse).

That’s right , last time I was in the States there were dead bodies of uninsured citizens lining the streeets , meat wagons pulled them away in the early morning .

I bet if you polled Ontarians on that TM, it would be far down the list of their worries with hydro, health care, carbon taxes, and myriad other problems facing them...........oh and let us not forget that pesky little $12 billion deficit forecast for 2018.
