Ontario - Wake Up! You Are Being Run by a Left Wing Extremist, Gaffe Filled Liberal Government!!!

Love him or hate him, you must listen to Kevin, and he has hit it on the head again about Wynne's Liberals.  Left wing extremism at its highest degree.  Absolutely shocking some of the payments and political back scratching that has occurred.  All in the face of $308B in provincial (yes, Ontario ONLY) debt.

"Hi Premier Wynne,
I’m worried.
I asked you to keep me informed about the $1.9 billion you are extracting out of the Ontario economy in new carbon taxes. I was excited when you promised lots of new jobs and reductions in carbon emissions. Then I saw the July jobs report. Wow, 36,100 Ontario jobs lost in a single month, the worst decline since the recession, and you still haven’t told me any good news about carbon emission reductions. I guess your new plan is not working.
Maybe it would have been better to leave that $1.9 billion in the hands of the Ontario businesses that were using it to hire employees before you taxed it away from them...."
And it goes on....

Canadian Crime: Sooooooo Canadian

The hilarity of this in light of the urgency of stealing beer while wearing hockey equipment is too much!  Only in Canada you say?

Thankfully, Canada's brightest have picked up a "crucial" piece of evidence (cue CSI's Horatio taking off his glasses just before going to a commercial break)....what goalie wears 17?, A number usually chosen by forwards or one of the greatest Leafs captains....ever.

Finally a positive view on the CFL: C'mon Canada

Finally a positive angle on this historic, tested and battle worn league that has faced adversity, stiff profeseional sports competition and financial woes yet continues to thrive in the hearts of its tough, beloved and cold bewrimg fans.

Yes the Argos are North America's oldest professional franchise.  And some of the most significant records are born out of the CFL.

Unfortunately Canadians loke robots are programmed to think negatively of its own when faced with the glitz and hype of anything American that is comparable to ours. 

Well written, and see you at the Grey Cup....outdoors...cold and windy

(Wouldn't that make a great game? ...Superbowl winner versus
Grey Cup champ...in Winnipeg...in November)

Arrrrrrrrrrrgooooooooos!!!
