Well, it's taken a while for Us to come to our senses but we're finally seeing the end of the Red tunnel. Conservatives are better at governing then liberals. For the record, We're in debt up to our ears by 11 billion, that's compared to the debt the liberals inherited when elected in 2003 (5.6 billion). That's a twist on what the mainstream media have reported. In 2003 The Star splashed on it's front page this headline, "5.6 billion dollars" which is reference to the debt inherited by the liberals and splashed all over the media. Today, there will be no such headline not against the liberals. I'm not sure but It will be hidden in some page of the newspaper and buried where nobody will read it. I found it on the Interactive part of the Star and it suggested that Kathleen Wynne keep running the deficit even through to the next budget because it says, Ontario is not facing a debt crisis. And what that means is this:
That Debt the liberals have increased will be inherited by the next PC Government.
Is that moral, Is that ethical, Is continually running a deficit the right thing to do,
AND is it right for the media to criticize one for their deficit and then support their current Government for running a debt that is in fact, higher
this is wrong and the media should be banned from reporting lies to the people. One thing that should be noticed also is that the people are making their own opinion on Media and the lies they tell. They stop buying that Star newspaper. They best way to hurt the Star is in the pocket book. You might say, that they make money in advertising, That`s okay, if anything it might take a little longer. But, if the average person stopped buying the newspaper from One Yonge Street, we wouldn`t be seeing their advertising, and advertising wouldn`t be effective. Eventually it will change to other methods of advertising. Such as the Interactive method.

Trudeau at U.N. Taxes go up up up!
It is appalling that this Government is changing so many big things for Canadians while it's leader, Justin Trudeau goes to New York to speak at the UN. Man if I was changing things like Tax Free Savings Accounts, Charging more for Canada Pension and millions more of taxpayers dollars for Government employees to move to Ottawa, I'd be at home trying to justify my decisions. People have a right to know.
This is not the way for a Government to run things. One MP referred to it as being just the beginning. And I will personally tell you, this leader and this government do not deserve to be in power if this is the way it's going to be. The MSM will not help, except yesterday you heard about it on CTV News, A liberal supporting media, and hey, even liberals are not perfect. And I know God uproots leaders and he places leaders like King Nebuchadnezzar. The King of Babylon.
One look at a Toronto newspaper and nothing appears on CPP, nothing on TFSA, nothing on Government employees being moved to Ottawa. They thought it was more important for us to know about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie getting divorced then for us to know about our tax dollars. I seriously think these media outlets try to just "shove things under the carpet" and well, the Star is the worst culprit of this. You don't need to know so we'll just put it where you can't find it. This is a scandal. And a scandal is a scandal is a scandal. Unless you happen to be liberal. Let's first get the word out on this to let people know and we will judge them accordingly. Next, let's get this PM back to Ottawa to hear his explanation. Let's not let them off the hook. If this is the change they were talking then let's change the Government. Because it won't stop, and we tell them
THAT'S ENOUGH!
Remember Stephen Harper and the Conservatives won 99 seats in Parliament. That's quite a bit and if these liberals insist on spending carelessly on themselves, they can be easily thrown out on the street again.

PC Tories moving up in Ontario
Hi. Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown and his Conservative Party are moving up in popularity to 45% while Kathleen Wynne and her liberals are sinking down to new lows (25%). This is despite a throne speech in the Legislature and a promise from the liberals to reduce hydro rates. It seems people will like the lower rates, but they won't cut the Government a break for doing it. Another good example of liberals trying to bribe us with our own money. This time they are getting desperate. The example being lowering rates so we get re-elected. I personally want them out for another 20 years so they learn their lesson. There's some things that have to change. With this liberal government, the Teachers Union got what it wanted, So did Doctors' and now they will do everything in it's power to get these liberals back into power. My opinion, don't let your vote be influenced by any Union, any Media (like Toronto Star), they won't be thinking of any taxpayers, Parents or even the children they teach.
This Kathleen Wynne government gave away millions of our dollars to the Teacher's Federation which in turn used it's own money to hit away at Patrick Brown and the PC's, which they were doing way back when Ernie Eves was Premier (2003).
This actually proves that these teachers must have money because they're it on behalf of the liberals,
The only thing we should be concerned about here is our children's education and the schools they are taught in. I grew up Toronto and had a very good education system and curriculum. I had Teacher's that cared, worked hard for every kid's education. Including mine and my brother. Now we're grown up with family and kids doing well too.
It is not a democracy when any Government pays someone to do it's dirty work for them.
We should not believe any of it. And this is a government that's trying to hang onto power. A vote should be unbiased and should also be fair. We should know what the issues are. What matters. Because if I don't have autistic children, but a family is struggling financially with their child who dealing with Autism in the Province of Ontario I can speak for that family by voting for the one who will provide for them. But not Kathleen Wynne. So, in closing The poll says that Patrick Brown must do something to increase his popularity because he's a bit of a nobody. Not many people know who he is. No worries, Stephen Harper was the same way and it didn't take long for people to hear about him. He was a good leader.

It's Red All Over
Some might say the Toronto Star with it's black & White and blue ribbon is well, alright. But every media outlet must do 2 things. It must know right from wrong, and it must tell the truth. But if you want to see a newspaper that is truly "LIBERAL" hear it is. Ask this question. Who do you support, Doctors and the Ontario liberal Gov't.?
If you look at every headline you'll see the Star's support of these liberals, their shots of some Doctors who's license should be taken away and their urging of every Doctor in this Province to accept the tentative agreement from the Ontario liberal Government. Let us not forget,
1. The Doctor's have been without an Agreement with the Province for over two years and must be paid retroactively.
2. If this was a Teacher's union, They'd be paid millions of dollars just to negotiate a new bargaining agreement, which in turn would be used by the Teacher's union to take shots at the PC Party of Ontario.
3. The headlines being printed say things like: "Doctors who commit sexual assault should lose their license"
"Pain clinic doctor should face disciplinary hearing, lawyer says"
"College fights to get groping MD’s licence revoked"
Dr. Javad Peirovy’s ‘egregious and deliberate’ misconduct got
light treatment from committee, College of Physicians and Surgeons argues in court filing. So that's their Opinion?
A government that's traditionally soft on criminals, the result being criminals who are incarcerated should be let out early, now says Doctors should have the book thrown at them? who would you support? A doctor or a criminal?

A government that's traditionally soft on criminals, the result being criminals who are incarcerated should be let out early, now says Doctors should have the book thrown at them? who would you support? A doctor or a criminal?
"More doctors means higher health-care costs across Canada" So okay, More Doctors. But who here says we have enough Doctors? Who here in Ontario and in Toronto wants less Doctors? Are we kidding? I don't know of any Province or U.S.State that says we have too many Doctors or Healthcare Practitioners that we're trying to get rid of some. Never,
And this is the Toronto Star who's so incredibly supportive of Kathleen Wynne, Dalton McGuinty (if you read you'll find you'll find their support of him when he was Premier),
Ontario doctors should accept deal on pay: Editorial Wed. Aug. 10, 2016.
Or, Doctors could reject it, saying that it's not enough, and that Doctors are paying out of pocket for the health and well being of Canadians and are acting on their behalf. Not the Star employees supporting the Ontario liberal Gov't.
4. Clearly you can see that this liberal Star newspaper is supporting this tired, arrogant long in the tooth Government that's been in power for too long. It will likely AGAIN give it's endorsement to this lesbian loving Kathleen and these liberals to run for another 4 years when there's another election
So what this concludes is don't support the Star or these liberals because just like their biased opinion against the police, it's decided to bash away at Doctors who work hard in this Province. But we know that almost every Doctor in this Province worked very hard to become a good M.D. to practice medicine. A Doctor can also leave and go to another Province or another State and have their license recognized by another State because Doctors are hard to come by, even in the U.S. And so again that leaves the question, Do we want less Doctors? I don't think so. But the Star thinks we should. And that just goes to show how much the Star Editorial board knows. It proves how liberal they are.
Supporting the Ont. liberal Gov't. over the Doctors of this Province is about as smart as a 10 year old boy who says "I deserve a spanking."
You have to do a lot to support them. Because, If this was Mike Harris or Ernie Eves negotiating with the OMA they would've been screaming for the minister of health to resign. Not liberals though.
This why this media outlet is so unpopular with voters, the result being less people reading the Toronto Star in print and online. It's the stars' opinion but not My Opinion.
So do I support newspapers like the National Post (NP)? Well No, but I do read it, and I like it because of their Opinion, their Editorial, their Columnists like Andrew Coyne and Robyn Urback. They are smart people and their opinion reflect what most most people think about things. They are Conservatives but they are not held to that reflection. Sometimes Conservatives are wrong.
But, when Health Minister Jane Philbott was caught driving around in a "SEDAN" that cost taxpayers thousands of dollars a day, could it be found anywhere on the front page of a Toronto Star newspaper? No way! not a mention of it. Politicians and their lifestyles.
So here is the latest, And Have a great day.

Toronto Star Against Police
So let me get right to the point. The Star doesn't like the police does. Never has. Because it well known that liberal Governments like this one believe criminals and now terrorists have rights too. Just like we honest law abiding citizens do. So, how does the Star editorial staff cover it up? It just hammers away at the Police, to cover soft on crime policies. Including light sentences. So that's it. here's an example:
(My apologies for not being able to rotate the picture.)
This first picture which was taken last Saturday in it's prime edition says there is a lot wrong with the Police force. Of course there is. There's over 5,000 Police Officers working for Toronto. You might get 1 or 2 bad officers. You could also find 1 or twenty bad employees working at One Yonge street. Here's a biased opinion. If during the course of a work week a Star employee gets ticketed by the police for their biased opinion which they exploit continually. Is that unfair? I think so. But why does the Star building have to do this?
Let's get this straight. We are honest hardworking people. We are law abiding citizens (except when we're racing thru a red light). The truth is I've been pulled over once for speeding on the highway. The cop issued a ticket which I rightfully deserved. But he reduced the fine and said I looked like a nice guy. That was in 2005. I've not had a ticket since. Police do not naturally want to lay charges against anyone but they will when it's necessary. In other words, a police officer is a nice man or woman. They don't deserve the flak they get from the Toronto Star. They are skilled and knowledgeable at their jobs. They are nice people like us. But always remember what the Bible says about this. "A false balance is an abomination to the Lord." Proverbs 11:1. It applies to weight and material but also opinions and estimates.
Some points to remember:
1. Police are nice to us and nice to people. I know this because my job requires me to work with Airside Police at the Airport and I know first hand how nice they can be. Star employees don't. They're are not experts. But they know their opinions.
2. Police don't have biased opinions or any racial profiling against any people who are black, or Muslim or any race or religion or creed. They are also an equal opportunity employer. I stand as much a chance at getting hired as anyone else. The Star would be hammering away if the Police didn't hire enough Black people. The Star tends to take aim at the Chief also.
3. The biased opinion the Star has gives proof of the liberal soft on crime approach to law enforcement and the Star because of it's support of liberal governments like Kathleen Wynne and the Ontario liberals is doing what it can to cover it up. You think they're not trying to cover up. Think again.
4.Take the Star and the media for what it is. They are media, to tell you what you need to know. But you'll ultimately read what they want you to read. They are part of our democracy, but they must tell the truth. Which is why the verse in proverbs is so important. Proverbs 11:1. Remember it, and take it to heart. It's the truth.
From what I understand Stephen Harper didn't get along with media. Maybe he could have done more to establish something good with them. I hear Interim leader Rona Ambrose is doing what she can to establish a good connection with them. Respect for each other is key. Let's hope they can continue, and continue through the next Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. I wish them well.
Headline: "Why should we pay more for less?" That's a letter by Ben Bull from Weston, Ontario printed in todays' Toronto Star. Aug. 16th. So, should we pay more? Maybe, but Ben lives in Weston, ON, so this doesn't affect him. Why does the Star have to print his letter, couldn't it find someone living in Toronto? And what is wrong with trying to find money to save?

Higher Taxes
The Toronto Star which supports liberals like Kathleen Wynne and Trudeau and his masculinity is suggesting we raise taxes for the City services we want. Herès their logic or stupidity.
1. They like that the Mayor wants to build 21 acres of parkland in downtown Toronto. But a letter they got a hold of says he canèt afford it. So their proposal is RAISE TAXES. That' do it. It'l do it every time. They seem to think we can afford it every time. Or that it's worth it. The one way to afford the Transit system is to raise the fare. Not taxes.
2. The Star says we have revenue problem. Can they prove it? And their answer for it is to raise taxes for the City we want. Thus, you can see the Title: Time to pay for the city we want. And pay through the nose. Give your money to the Government because they can best manage it. Remember, liberal governments are what create Unions.
Thus, the Star employees at One Yonge Street are Unionized.
They step all over the little people like ourselves who canèt afford high prices, high taxes for City services and say well, deal with it. Unions come in to give us more money. So, letès look at high taxes. When it comes to taxes, we need to pay for them. My Lord during his ministry was required to pay a temple tax. He obeyed the laws of the land. But His Father provided for it. The 2 denarii were found in a fish in the sea. Ièm not sure where in the Bible that is found except itès in at least one of the 4 gospel books. Sometimes itès required. But not always. When Stephen Harper campaigned in 2006 for lower taxes, he said a Conservative Government would lower GST from 7% to 5% And he would know it can be done because of his degree in Economics. But the Star and itès experts, raise taxes to generate revenue. In their commentary they say:
In order to create a better, more livable city, Mayor John Tory and council must look at new means of generating revenue.
Or raise taxes, like as if we can afford it. I live in Mississauga now and one day I jumped on the bus to go somewhere and I discovered that the Transit system has the Presto card system. I asked the driver about it and he said the system is not fully operational. There was no real reason why but I discovered that the revenue from that Presto card goes straight to the governing body of the Ontario Government. Which is Metrolinx. The Mississauga Transit system is complaining because it`s putting this in their buses (They're probably paying to maintain it), but they're getting no revenue whatsoever from it. I think they have a point for it, and they are telling the Ontario Government to say we want some of that money to cover our expenses, or we'll rip everyone of these Presto machines out of our buses. The point is, Governments and The Mayor John Tory know how to raise revenue. I never thought that David Miller was good at that. I might agree that the housing market could support Public Transit. That's more for education. The Star mentions this in the middle of it's Commentary.
It also mentions a tax on alcohol and tobacco, a parking levy, entertainment tax or development charges, AMONG OTHERS!
Well I dare say the Star editorial board knows all about taxes. Let's talk about this. When we raise taxes, ask a question. How much do we use of those government services that justifies raising the amount of money for people to use them? Are higher taxes necessary? For Healthcare it's different. Maybe we will not need healthcare services but because we're such kind people we want to make sure that all our people are healthy.
I could truly say that I would ask for higher taxes so every Citizen can be brought back to health. I believe that.
I believe the same for Public Transit. Because people need to get to work everyday. But I believe in lower taxes for the average joe mo who goes to work everyday, pays taxes, earns an honest days work. The Star obviously doesn't go for that. It wants higher taxes. It says we can afford it. But it probably doesnèt know anything about the paypal revenue going to the Ontario Government directly not any for Mississauga Transit or itès people. Kathleen Wynne has to give some of that revenue back to the City.
The Star says about what Mayor John Tory told them. He said that Before we ask the people to pay more, it must show residents that is has done everything in itès power to trim that fat.
In it's next sentence the Star disputes that. It says to often it has a negative effect. That's wrong to think that. And itès dumnheadedness. If the Star Management had a revenue problem or was bought out by another Media Outlet, wouldn't you be making sure you'd saved everything you could to avoid layoffs.
The Mayor is acting correctly by making sure he and City Council have done everything it can to save money before raising taxes or raising fares for TTC, which is essential. Who are they to say Cut services (which in this case is cut bus routes, or fewer buses), The Star argues that weère stuck in traffic, overheated subways and that our downtown core is is getting more dense with buildings, infrastructure etc. It says that funds that are promised from the federal and provincial governments are not enough, But my opinion is how would they know Again, they donèt know about the Presto card and the revenue being given to the Province because of it, and not being shared with the City of Mississauga. We should think that governments, Federal and Provincial can afford it. But hereès one thing. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives allowed that we could save by using our weekly and monthly passes for income tax. We saved over $300.00 a year in Transit which was outstanding. I loved that Tax saving. Also, Canadians saved on the Child Care benefit for their kids up to the age of six years old. Thatès when they start school. Also, A working Contractor could save on his tools. And we all saved on the GST. I think Justin Trudeau and the liberals will eventually raise the Tax.
In conclusion, The Star and itès Editorial Board are not smart by saying first, that this City has a revenue problem, I think Mayor John Tory and City Council are able to find ways to raise revenue without raising taxes. So who are they to talk that raising taxes are the answer.
Second, The Mayor is acting in an appropriate manner by checking to make sure this government has done everything it can to save. I mean who wouldn't. And if the Star doesnèt think so maybe it can do something like raise itès own taxes by raising the price of itès newspaper to raise revenue. See how many readers scramble to the Globe, and National Post. Ièm sure you know itès bad business.
Third, I donèt spend my time downtown, I work at the Airport. Ièd be willing to say that the new subways are not overheated. Theyère crowded but not overheated. These are better subways also. I donèt worry about downtown getting overcrowded. I think it is justifiable that the price of TTC is going up. And as I drive, I donèt often get stuck in traffic. Before this I lived in Scarborough for six years. The last sentence in the Star Comment reads this,
Sooner or later, we simply have to dig a little deeper and pay for it.
For example, letès raise taxes again. Hah. Maybe you can.

It also mentions a tax on alcohol and tobacco, a parking levy, entertainment tax or development charges, AMONG OTHERS!
Well I dare say the Star editorial board knows all about taxes. Let's talk about this. When we raise taxes, ask a question. How much do we use of those government services that justifies raising the amount of money for people to use them? Are higher taxes necessary? For Healthcare it's different. Maybe we will not need healthcare services but because we're such kind people we want to make sure that all our people are healthy.
I could truly say that I would ask for higher taxes so every Citizen can be brought back to health. I believe that.
I believe the same for Public Transit. Because people need to get to work everyday. But I believe in lower taxes for the average joe mo who goes to work everyday, pays taxes, earns an honest days work. The Star obviously doesn't go for that. It wants higher taxes. It says we can afford it. But it probably doesnèt know anything about the paypal revenue going to the Ontario Government directly not any for Mississauga Transit or itès people. Kathleen Wynne has to give some of that revenue back to the City.
The Star says about what Mayor John Tory told them. He said that Before we ask the people to pay more, it must show residents that is has done everything in itès power to trim that fat.
In it's next sentence the Star disputes that. It says to often it has a negative effect. That's wrong to think that. And itès dumnheadedness. If the Star Management had a revenue problem or was bought out by another Media Outlet, wouldn't you be making sure you'd saved everything you could to avoid layoffs.
The Mayor is acting correctly by making sure he and City Council have done everything it can to save money before raising taxes or raising fares for TTC, which is essential. Who are they to say Cut services (which in this case is cut bus routes, or fewer buses), The Star argues that weère stuck in traffic, overheated subways and that our downtown core is is getting more dense with buildings, infrastructure etc. It says that funds that are promised from the federal and provincial governments are not enough, But my opinion is how would they know Again, they donèt know about the Presto card and the revenue being given to the Province because of it, and not being shared with the City of Mississauga. We should think that governments, Federal and Provincial can afford it. But hereès one thing. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives allowed that we could save by using our weekly and monthly passes for income tax. We saved over $300.00 a year in Transit which was outstanding. I loved that Tax saving. Also, Canadians saved on the Child Care benefit for their kids up to the age of six years old. Thatès when they start school. Also, A working Contractor could save on his tools. And we all saved on the GST. I think Justin Trudeau and the liberals will eventually raise the Tax.
In conclusion, The Star and itès Editorial Board are not smart by saying first, that this City has a revenue problem, I think Mayor John Tory and City Council are able to find ways to raise revenue without raising taxes. So who are they to talk that raising taxes are the answer.
Second, The Mayor is acting in an appropriate manner by checking to make sure this government has done everything it can to save. I mean who wouldn't. And if the Star doesnèt think so maybe it can do something like raise itès own taxes by raising the price of itès newspaper to raise revenue. See how many readers scramble to the Globe, and National Post. Ièm sure you know itès bad business.
Third, I donèt spend my time downtown, I work at the Airport. Ièd be willing to say that the new subways are not overheated. Theyère crowded but not overheated. These are better subways also. I donèt worry about downtown getting overcrowded. I think it is justifiable that the price of TTC is going up. And as I drive, I donèt often get stuck in traffic. Before this I lived in Scarborough for six years. The last sentence in the Star Comment reads this,
Sooner or later, we simply have to dig a little deeper and pay for it.
For example, letès raise taxes again. Hah. Maybe you can.

Toronto Star opinion on Innovation
Innovation: noun
1. Something new or different introduced: numerous innovations in the high-school curriculum
2. The act of innovating; introduction of new things or methods.
Last Saturday in the prime edition of the Toronto Star (remember they're liberal the National Post is Conservative), they put out some innovative ideas different things like Blockchains of trust using money, Making cars that are MORE energy efficient and having a highway of them. Also, They want driverless cars. But cars are a mode of transportation and must therefore mean that at least one person will be in the car but that person won't be driving. Can cars be that good? I think they will be one day. So, with that comment I'll show you a new car.
This is my car. It's a 2014 Cruze. Love it. It's fuel efficient, got a nice colour, Standard transmission and a cool license plate. And according to the Star, Innovation will make this a better car. And that government (read higher taxes and corporate welfare) should take the lead in Innovation.
It should be pointed out, this is what I believe,
Businesses and Education is what creates jobs and it's what makes a people and Country innovative and creative. Not Government.
The only role for Government is to provide funding where it's needed, not doing things like the Star suggests like Taking the lead in this matter.
"The idea being let's make it better for less money, because we're smart people."
A car is a good place to start. But the Star in it's commentary and opinion is pointing out two things. First, it says Government should take the Lead. It says the Minister in charge of Innovation Navdeep Singh Bains should come up with more ideas, a national innovation strategy. I think the best he can do is make sure he picks the best and the brightest stars and make sure they go through colleges and universities to earn a degree in economics, business, become a medical practitioners. Get them into big places like TTC and car companies like GM and Ford. It should be easy for the best and brightest to find jobs. Even good ones. How 'bout Government jobs.
The other thing the Star says is we're falling behind other Countries in R&D such as Germany and the United States. It also says championing things like a transition to a "clean green economy." It could be said that if they want a "clean green economy" it must mean we're not clean enough. But let's make the point here. The Star Editorial Board obviously wants ideas that fit into the liberal agenda and wants it to take the lead on this matter. Why do we need a highway of super-clean cars, trucks, buses, big ones, small ones and so on? Did we accomplish something? is it better then what we have now? Is it worth it? I think it would be worth it if Canada built it's own Space ship and put a man on the moon. That's new and innovative. It can make Canadians proud.
The Board also gives praise to the Obama Administration giving financing Elon Musk venture in electric cars. Again, we don't need this.
These are liberal ideas.
Ideas of a Green Economy, Green cars, The environment is what matters. Cleaning up our rivers, changing our toilets to use less water and all new liberal ideas. And Government should take the lead. Let's point past Governments because they inadvertently mentioned it. They say in the past it wasn't good, but that now with a new liberal Government they promise to put Innovation at the centre of it's Agenda, and Navdeep Bains is the Minister responsible for Innovation. But again let's be serious.
Government doesn't create these things, it funds it.
And so it is not fair to blame past Governments for failing to provide technology or education to students who want to pursue things. So don't blame Stephen Harper and the previous Conservative Government for this.
Take care. Have a nice day.
