How many Provincial highways were downloaded onto the municipalities? Water works? Airlines? How about Ontario Hydro? Are you trying to say the folks who did the work are still on provincial payroll?
The Hidden History of Bob Rae’s government in Ontario
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
Primary or secondary?
They stopped getting paid?
The province shouldn't own airlines. I don't think they did anyways.
My bad, I didn't think of municipal pay cheques. Same thing.
I always love the attacks on the Rae government.
So old Bob gets voted in, handed a deficit, right at the beginning of a recession and decides to spend and invest his way out of it.
So old Steve gets voted in, handed a surplus, just before going into recession and decides to spend and invest his way out of it.
First one bad......bad little socialist.
Second one good....good little con.
What's even better is that the very people who sat on the other side during the Rae government criticising him are the same ones in charge in Ottawa doing what he did.
Seriously, are cons really this vacuous?

What difference whether the highway is primary or secondary, someone's got to maintain it. Hwy 121 (for example) is now a City of Kawartha lakes road and was a primary. Most secondary highways are gone.
Contracted out - Walkerton was the result
Norontair
And someone is still getting paid to look after them.
That's checks and balances, not cheques and balances.
Great, shouldn't exist. Besides, I prefer Bear Skin air.
Regardless, employed or not, those people don't work for the Province any more - hence there was a lay-off of provincial employees.
BTW.... Bearskin flies over here a lot. Damn, I wish they'd go a whole DeHavilland fleet. That single-engine Pilatus is noisy as hell ;-)

Or they were transfered with the dept.

I have no doubt about that.
I could post a few pics but people who post pics of themselves or others online are asking for trouble.
I've thought of it but I have a family and buisness to protect.
Besides, posting pics of yourself is something lonely losers do.
