But since we produce 1.7 per cent of the world’s pollution, it would stand to reason that if we got it down to 1.5 per cent we might add an extra day to that 12 years of living.

Woohoo! That will make up for all the financial pain now, won’t it ?

DON’T CALL THEM COPS

Why does this paper constantly call the police, “cops”? It just sounds so distasteful.

DON’T DUMP ON DOUG

Not a day goes by that I don’t read about Ontarians protesting about Doug Ford and his government. Enough already. Did those currently protesting about cuts to the bloated Ontario budget really expect the Liberal gravy train to run forever? I’m tired of reading and hearing people complaining about Ford at every turn. And do those protesting honestly believe the payment for the bill was never going to come due? Well, it has, and it is time to start figuring out how to make do with less.

Furthermore, do people not realize that servicing the debt is the fourth-highest annual government expense at $12.5 billion? And … it just keeps growing. Ontarians have become addicted to the belief that somewhere in the future we would hit it big and money would magically flow into government coffers and make it right. Wake up, people! There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Only we can save us from ourselves. If you want socialism and a government that does everything for you, look to Venezuela and see what a socialist government does.
