The increase in education was quoted as going to make the investment in education $15.5billion.....that's incorrect and is still incorrect in the press release. Liberals have ballooned the funding of education in this province much more than that. I would bet we're closer to $18billion now.<BR/><BR/>If this is an example of the accounting we can look forward to.....Ontario's in deep trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-31745247672035457042007-11-29T16:19:00.000-05:002007-11-29T16:19:00.000-05:00Thanks to the whole stinky Schreiber circus.....I'...<I>Thanks to the whole stinky Schreiber circus.....I'm betting not many in paid attention to Lemmingville's Throne speech.</I><BR/><BR/>That is so funny because I was thinking the very same thing!

More promises Norman means we're treated to four more years of photo-ops and reannoucements of reannouncements of the type that only those of entitlements can make.<BR/><BR/>Oh and check out the Globe and Mail today. <BR/><BR/>Two different education stories.<BR/><BR/>One spins one way, one the other. <BR/><BR/>Lesson learned....don't read the Globe if you're looking for decisive stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-72240747090977788362007-11-29T10:47:00.000-05:002007-11-29T10:47:00.000-05:00Forgot to put my name on my previous comment.

They got a free pass for more of the same.<BR/><BR/>I hope nobody complains to me about them.<BR/><BR/>Interesting that they worked about 2.5 months this year.<BR/><BR/>Came back from 'Christmas break' on March 19 (three months off after voting for an increase). Shut the House on June 2. Open today but won't start until Monday. Will likely break for 'Chrismas' about two weeks later.<BR/><BR/>They work four days a week, you can do the math. Makes me wonder if they trying to outdo the Senate in terms of work ethic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-84411709557736640702007-11-29T10:25:00.000-05:002007-11-29T10:25:00.000-05:00Anon, thanks for this.

They tried to shake him down for $47K earlier in the Fall - after he'd started building.<BR/><BR/>His comments at that time in the Expositor was that if the Italians tried to pull that kind of thing people would say they were the mafia.<BR/><BR/>He's the one who confronted McGuinty in Hamilton, I think we still have the file tape over at Wag the Dog - I can fish out the link if you like. The McGuinty campaign tried to say the confrontation was staged because CH gave him a microphone - it wasn't, that's the way he is - determined. <BR/><BR/>Just to put things into perspective, Mike is building a semi-detached house. He's not bulldozing the banks of the Grand.<BR/><BR/>This stuff is going to heat up while Bryant and McGuinty fiddle.<BR/><BR/>The Haldimand tract involves six miles (not kms) on either side of the Grand which runs from Lake Erie to Guelph - through Brantford, Cambridge, etc, you get the picture.<BR/><BR/>Somebody better take some action and stop mugging for the cameras and coining phrases or this is going to get a lot bigger.<BR/><BR/>Just saying...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
