Great Liar Kim Dong Wynne Spends Money By The U-Haul Load

“The government has driven our province into $272.8 billion worth of debt,” Malcolm said Monday. “It’s difficult to even imagine a number this big but this is what our government owes, this is what we owe, thanks to overspending and mismanagement from our provincial government.”

A PRAVDA SALUTE TO SEEGER...

VALID QUESTION!

CATHY YOUNG: IS THERE REALLY A CYBER-WAR ON WOMEN?

Or do women just complain more?

Plus: “Much of the abuse Hess deplores is directed not simply at women, but at active feminists. This is easy to interpret as misogynist backlash against women’s quest for equality. Yet any honest discussion has to acknowledge the fact that modern feminism is not simply a pro-equality movement but rather, one that has disturbing strands of hate—a movement whose adherents argue that women should treat every man as a potential rapist and that the collective bashing of men is a justified response to women’s oppression. Internet feminists have played a major role in turning online discussion of gender issues into a toxic swamp that naturally attracts trolls.” Indeed.

How politics divide Facebook friendships

Those who say one should never talk about politics in mixed company have never logged on to Facebook. These days a typical newsfeed is peppered with links, opinions and jabs about the latest political topics.

A new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology suggests that politics are the great divider. People who think the majority of their friends have differing opinions than their own engage less on Facebook. For those who choose to stay logged in and politically active, the research found that most tend to stick in their own circles, ignore those on the other side and become more polarized.

At the same time, the study suggests a few design changes that could allow the social media platform to bridge political differences. By displaying shared interests between friends during their prickly conversations, Facebook could help diffuse possible arguments and alleviate tension. The research also notes that increasing exposure and engagement to weak ties could make people more resilient in the face of political disagreement.

...your keystrokes could come back to haunt you!

"NO NEW TAXES" CLONE HATCHING AT QUEENS PARK

Kathleen Wynne gears up to save Ontarians, whether they need it or not

...I have always said the liberals/ndp didn't have the balls to face the reality that in the real world you don't max out your charge cards! McGoonty didn't have the balls to continue the HARRIS solution and neither does WYNNER!

THE GORE/SUZUKI ALLIANCE...

...had one MAJOR goal: make $$$$ for Gore/Zuzuki and it has been successful but the reality of putting food on the table is finally making inroads!

VETS ARE NOT MOHAWK WARRIORS AT CALEDONIA...

...SO EXPECT PAIN IN REGIONS LOWER THAN YOUR BACK!

IMHO TORONTO HAS MAXED OUT EVERY CREDIT CARD AVAILABLE...

...time to call in a DEBT COUNCILOR! Shuffling the paperwork makes it harder and harder to put food on the table. Let's start with a hiring freeze at Silly Hall for all employees (remember they are also consumers of city services so if they want to strike let them do so, eliminating unfilled positions, safety/health services priority but restraints apply, reduce councilor's expenses, etc.

Toronto can’t afford Chow

We know what the agenda of New Democrat MP and former Toronto councillor Olivia Chow will be if she wins the mayor’s race, where she’s now the frontrunner, notwithstanding the fact she hasn’t yet officially entered. It will be to throw our money at every problem.

New test coming soon for elderly Ontario drivers

LORRAINE SOMMERFELD

Special to The Globe and Mail

On April 21 in Ontario, new changes to the licence testing for people aged 80-and-over will take effect. The Ministry of Transportation’s new evaluation includes a vision assessment, in-class group education, review of the driver’s record and two short exercises, the latter to determine if further assessment is required.

IMHO this is a farce to satisfy the electorate especially seniors!
