As ludicrous as it might seem I am surprised someone hasn't tried it, a panhandler, Comrade Miller, etc.

With Just a Red Kettle and a Bell, I Can Make Every Day a Payday

Guest editorial by Monte Milliken,

Friend, I'm writing to share with you an overlooked money-making secret that anyone can do, whether part-time or full-time. You don't need a fancy college degree to do this, and you don't need any extra money or credit to get started.

My money-making system can put an extra $2,000 to $5,000 or more in your pocket. You might even shovel in up to $20,000 or more, every single month. It's simply amazing.

It's called "Kettle Magic," and even a complete moron can scoop up fast cash. Here's how it started:

I was struggling, working three jobs, barely scraping by. Then one day we saw an old friend - let's call him "Bob" - at the mall. He was smiling, and ringing this shiny bell, and people were literally throwing money at Bob, who talked about some army that acted as the middleman for this business.

You know what they say about middlemen, right?

Since I got my own kettle and bell, I am wearing nice, new clothes. I am driving a shiny new, black Mercedes. And you could tell things were different for me: I look confident, and I look like money!

For $49.95 I will send you all you need to get started. You will get the opportunity to start your own Kettle Magic franchise: you can be your own boss, you keep all your profits, and you decide when and where to do business. All you have to do is place your order and I will have the startup kit sent to you, and you will be on your way to achieving your financial independence.

The Question You Need To Answer Sid.......

......is why the unions weren't holding massive marches and protests during McGinty's tenure like they did while Harris was trying to get us off the prepice of bankruptcy. Could it be because wage demands for teachers were met with little difficulty?

'Education premier' lays off support staff

By SID RYAN

What on earth is the Liberal brain trust thinking?

With a scant two months to go before the election writ is dropped, more than 60% of the province's school boards are laying off staff. So far, without all boards reporting, 575 support staff will be receiving pink slips.

This figure does not include the 500 staff at the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) threatened with layoff or the 125 layoffs at Upper Canada District School Board. Educational assistants are bearing the brunt of the cuts even though they provide direct assistance to the province's most needy school children -- those with learning, physical and mental disabilities.

Nearly half of the province's school boards plan to make cuts to special education, according to Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) research analyst Paul O'Donnell. A smaller number are cutting adult education, literacy and early reading programs.

Last year, school boards had a shortfall of more than $300 million. That resulted in the elimination of 500 support staff jobs. The cuts would have been deeper had some boards not raided and depleted their reserve funds. This year the shortfall is closer to $200 million with one-third of boards saying they had to dip into or exhaust their reserve funds.

It is difficult to understand how a political leader who has fashioned himself as the "education premier" could have screwed up so badly this close to an election. Mind you, the Liberals have used every trick and sleight of hand in the book to try to dampen the political fallout of the devastating cuts.

Are We Getting Value For Our $$$$

Salary surveys, IMHO, can be deceptive and the reason is that the salaries of those in middle and senior management inflate the perception of what the grunts earn. In my mind the clerical person that answers the phone and takes information about my pension direct deposit and punches it into the computer is more valuable than the the person sitting in the corner office.........having said that I reserve the right to bitch about public sector unions and their protection of marginal workers.

Public sector pays better than private: report

Canada's public servants earn an average salary far higher than those in the private sector, while the core public service workforce has swelled to its largest size in a decade, according to a new report.

Cost of swelling PS skyrockets

A decade after unprecedented and painful cuts, the federal bureaucracy has ballooned close to its former size, increasing its overall cost to Canadians by 50 per cent.
