Ontario Premier Mr Frord has said he is
on a mission to 'reduce waste' by any means possible (except by
removing himself) and he most certainly is reducing the programs and
supports available to us peons that rely upon government to help for
everything from health and welfare to education to environmental
protection and many more 'essential services', much of which is now
apparently deemed 'non essential'.
A number of organizations, journalists
and individuals have been attempting to document all the cuts to
services, departments, organizations and government funding in
general that have taken place 'For the people' in the last year under
this new dictatorial regime some of which I will list below. Many of
you who are not in thrall by the conservative mindset will have seen
one or more of these ever expanding lists which will now increase
quietly behind shuttered legislature door until the very end of
October AFTER the upcoming federal election. Those of us with a
cynical bent (and that includes myself) would agree with those who
have said that such a long summer break is designed to assist his
buddy and fellow right wing ideologue Andrew Scheer by seemly not
pissing off more folks that might otherwise make the mistake of
supporting that piece of work.
I think it more probable that he simply
wants to stay away from ANY accountability for his actions past,
present AND future by governing from behind closed doors where we
will hear of what longstanding 'services' have been removed by edict
over the summer after the fact …... Ontario you have just been
screwed by an expert who appears to rule by antagonism as one
observer put it!
Anyway if you have not read any of The
Lists here are a few but I would suggest you dont inhale unless you
want to overdose and end up on the floor screaming and kicking....

It's the same falsehoods they've been selling for decades, Rural. But now steroids have been added to the precription.
Thanks for the links, Rural. About the only thing we can do for the next three years is to protest and remind people of the legacies that are being systematically terminated by this out-of-control premier and his complicit, amoral band of collaborators.
We must remain vigilant guys but there is little we can do until the next Ontario election on that front, but I hope for a minority government federally and 'electoral reform before the next round. Faint hope, but its all I have left!
