Drummond Report
- Thread starter Walter
- Start date
When an independent economist makes an affirmative statement on what portion of the federal deficit is defined by extraneous economic influence, you will then be able to make that comparison.
Until then - stick to the topic of the Ontario budget.
Hope that clears up the confusion.
XOXO
Yeah... He traded good-paying industry for just-over-minimum-wage call centres. Good call!
I did vote "Orange" in Ontario on two occasions when a co-worker was on the ticket, and not being an ideologue my wallet controls my vote.......see Employee buy-out
Ideology is for fools...:lol:
No doubt more than a few former employees at Sturgeon Falls paper mill wish it had worked for them....

The "boom" started petering out in Kap in 2000 when I retired after selling off all my shares in '97 '98 & '99
(not because of my retirement) ;-).
It had gone up to a 4 paper machine operation in the '90s ..Now it's down to 2 machines.....and looking pretty bleak....
The only thing that is helping is the vast lumber limits and the mill is right in the center and we never went to complete recycled....only part.
I could tell you stories about that recycling shyte....:roll:
Trying to slip away with a hug and a kiss just does not cut it.
Does anyone know when Ontario had balanced budgets say from 2000- till now?? And what the deficits / surplus was?
I believe it was right about the time services and highways were downloaded onto the municipalities in the same sort of artful dodge Martin pulled
Oh the hypocrisy.
You are without a doubt, the best punchline at CC Fuzzy.

Refer to page 19 for deficits
page 18 for income stagnation
Unemployed page 17
And most importantly page 20
Increase in debt load from 1965 to 2010
Net debt increased 60 % from 2005 thru 2010
Unemployed over 1/2 million for 2000-2010
Interest on Debt - 40 % of revenue??? Page 27
Now Liberals cannot criticize liberals now can they. That would be a Sin against the Natural Governing Party and sanctions worse than the US has for Iran would be required.
They would be picked up late in the evening and taken to a Liberal Training & Reorientation Camp.
Where the mantra is - We are not always Right, but we are never wrong, just slightly in error.
The Feral Cons don't get railed over worldwide recession either - just in how they look after investors first. Libs look after management and Dips look out for unions. Who looks out for me ... but ME?
Rex Murphy: The Drummond report and Ontario’s sham election
With the exception of the writings of the prophets Jeremiah and Isaiah at their bleakest, flavoured with a touch of H.P. Lovecraft on the days when that lightless mind was wrestling with a migraine, the recent meditations of Don Drummond on Ontario’s fiscal situation set the standard for prose that vibrates with gloom and foreboding.
The prophet Drummond is aware of this. He tried to prepare Ontario for the grim messages he was sending. At the press conference announcing his 529-page diagnosis of Ontario’s fiscal morbidity, he produced a remarkable understatement about his report and the 320 recommendations of cuts, freezes and cancellations that so enliven its bristling pages. Said Mr. Drummond (perhaps hiding a bitter smile): “This will strike many as a profoundly gloomy message.” Those listening to Mr. Drummond recalled P.G. Wodehouse: “I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.”
The Drummond report is scathing, frightening, a grim portrait, an indictment of Ontario’s fiscal management during the last eight years of McGuinty government. It is everything columnists in this paper have said and more. The Drummond analysis offers what we may call a spectrograph of Ontario’s perilous financial situation. It is also a devastatingly chilly portrait of imminent decline, should the government of this once dynamic, productive and industrious province fail to follow the prescription —320 deep, demanding and painful recommendations that Mr. Drummond so vigorously recommends.
