  1. If going backwards under Scheer means we are going in the opposite of Trudeau's direction the result is we are moving forward again. Yea....
  2. Since Ontario has about 40% of Canada's population, along with the other three province's populations it is a fairly safe bet to say that most Canadians do care.
  3. I have one word for you Fail. BLOWHARD Biggest Lieberal Oneway Without Having Any Rational Deliberation
  4. And being moved to a lower position is Constructive Dismissal. I am sure you are well aware of what constructive dismissal is and what constitutes it...
  5. Being demoted is grounds for Constructive Dismissal.
  6. Why is our government spending like we are in a recession? If the economy is as good as the Liberals say why are we still in a deficit situation. In good times they should not be spending more than they are bringing in. Even more they should have a surplus and using it to pay down the debt. If they were doing this when the next downturn happens we would be in a better position to spend were it is needed. With no end in sight before we have a balanced budget, let alone reduce our debt, heaven help us when the down turn does occur.
  7. I'm out of sledding so I really don't care anymore but my reasoning for preferring standard studs is as follows: A standard stud goes into the track and not the paddle so when on a slippery surface both the studs and paddles are in contact with the ground. The screw in studs are in the paddles and are making contact with the ground with little or no paddle contact. May not make a big difference but to me you should get more grip with standard studs.
  8. You really need to think before you comment on financial matters. I know that is a lot to ask of you but you really need to try. A 5 billion deficit becomes 20 if the government commits to 5 billion new spending in each of the 4 years. 15 billion only becomes 60 if they commit to 15 billion in new spending in each year for 4 years; if they don't it is just 15 billion for that year. The cost to carry that debt in the following years will add to the deficit but it wont be 15 billion.
  9. There you go with your crazy math again. Since there are approximately 30 million people in Canada and they are grabbing info on 500,000 per year that translates into 1 in 60 per year. Of course if you took into account kids and people without any transactions your chances of being selected are much greater.
  10. Looks like Fail may have to reassess his position on the minimum wage. It's going to hit him big time for the purchase of his main recreational product. But as you say it's only a small increase. You may have to cut back on your consumption. http://torontosun.com/news/provincial/minimum-wage-hike-burns-ontario-marijuana-producers
  11. Most people, including myself, couldn't care less about what Toronto pays in relation to other municipalities. It is the constant complaining and whining from Toronto that they need more provincial and federal money to solve their problems. Firstly they have a spending problem and need to get that under control. Secondly they have a lot of room to raise their realty taxes before running elsewhere.
  12. There are 2 mill rates, realty and commercial. The City has always set the commercial rate higher than realty. Sounds fair right? Why shouldn't business pay more? Toronto sets its budget and collects what it needs but businesses are paying more than there fair share. They need to raise realty rate and lower commercial rate and collect the same amount of money.
  13. Even though I don't fully agree with how Fail gets there, he is right that Toronto Realty tax payers do pay less than there fair share of taxes in Toronto. Toronto has always charged higher commercial taxes because businesses don't get a vote, property owners do. Years ago Toronto complained that too many businesses were leaving and going to the suburbs were their taxes were lower. The province did step in and set limits as to how much commercial rates could be raised. They still pay more than their fair share but it is not quite so bad. Toronto, however, then complained that it was not fair to set limits on commercial taxes. Toronto politicians need to grow some balls and set realistic (ie higher) realty mill rates.
  14. Obviously you know nothing about how MPAC affects your taxes. MPAC sets the assessed value of your home which we all know is going up. The municipality determines their budget and then divides the total dollars required by the total assessment for their municipality to arrive at the mill rate. Your taxes are then calculated be multiplying your assessment by the mill rate. The determining factor as to if your taxes will go up or down and by how much is determined by how your assessment increase compares to the municipality as a whole. If your assessed value has increased significantly less than the average you could see a decrease or very small increase in your taxes. If your assessed value goes up by 25% it would be highly unlikely that your taxes would also go up by that much. For your tax increase to match your assessment increase would mean that the majority of properties had their assessments stay the same or go down. If every bodies assessment went up by 25% and the municipality required the same budget dollars as the previous year your taxes would be the same as the previous year.
  15. Yes. Never had need to submit a question but it was interesting and many times helpful. Thanks...
