But let’s break this down to the personal. What do you do? Do you look after your household bills, make sure the kids are housed, clothed and fed before you give to charity? To do so is only sensible.

It’s not loving to pay someone else’s bills while leaving your own family uncared for. It is dysfunctional.

That is not only what Wynne recommends, it is what she does.

Ontario has massive debt. We have an unbalanced budget that is driving us further into debt, but Wynne continues to spend because she “cares.”

According to the website of Ontario’s Ministry of Children and Youth Services, if you wish to adopt a child you, “need to have the resources to meet the needs of the child you are adopting.”

That is a nicer way of saying that you have to look after your own first. If you are constantly sinking further into debt with no plan to stop the fiscal bleeding, just like Ontario, you might have difficulty getting permission to “help” another child.

The province’s own official standard is more in line with that of Ford than of Wynne and Horwath.

Meanwhile, the federal government is bringing in refugees Ontario is unable to house. Their policies have created a homeless shelter crisis in Toronto. The situation led Mayor John Tory to say, “We want refugees to be as big a success story for themselves and for Canada as prior generations of refugees. But that goal is simply not achievable if other governments — especially the federal government — don’t step up.”
