Enough with the Harper surplus to deficit story already. There was no way Canada was not heading into a recession, but we felt the least of it compared to other nations due to our oil. Harper added 150 billion to our debt, compare that to the great Obama's 10 trillion. The US's economy is 10 times the size of the Canada's so Harper could have added 1 trillion in debt before he matched Obama. The Ontario Fiberals added more to Ontario's debt than the 150 Harper added and for a while they had a larger deficit than all the provinces put together including the federal government, but tards gloss over that.
On the bold, when companies shut down or leave our province it does disrupt things. Perhaps not for those in the public sector utopia who have little grasp of how things actually come together. When a dud like the Ontario Finance Minister says stupid things like Ontario can pick and choose the jobs we want coming to Ontario, he insults most small business owners who have been driving this province during the hard times with job growth. Any private sector job created is good for the economy. Every public sector job created requires 4 or 5 private sector employees to subsidize.
