It is likely the case that the province no longer has the capability of determining without outside assistance whether it is receiving its legal share of these revenues, given that reports are now filed with the Federal Government and reviewed by their auditors, some of whom may be former employees of the Ontario Ministry of Revenue now working for the CRA.<br /><br />We should ask the governments of Quebec and Alberta if they have any advice for Ontario on this matter.<br />John B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-17797491941562202382013-11-14T03:24:42.188-05:002013-11-14T03:24:42.188-05:00hi anon...I completely agree with you, there has t...hi anon...I completely agree with you, there has to be some reason they are hiding the figures so we don't even know, and neither does the PBO, what is the real impact of last year's budget.

So I haven't the slightest doubt that they are cooking the books.

I can't help feeling the Cons are making it up as they go along, and sooner of later they'll bring themselves down. And those good times will be OURS. They'd better be eh?

And nobody knows how their savage cuts are affecting services so anything could happen. As for the RCMP, I don't blame you for being sceptical. But remember there are decent officers in the force who don't like seeing their bosses act like stooges, and from what I've read so far the investigation seems to be heading down the right track. The force must surely know that if the fail Canadians, they will be discredited along with the Con regime...

But the Cons have planted enough mines in their sodden field, sooner or later one of them will explode. And hopefully they'll keep exploding all the way to the next election. The scandals may pale in comparison to their other more serious crimes, like their quasi-fascist assault on our democracy or the torching of the planet, but they will taint everything they do from now on. I would prefer to see them crushed by the voters, but if the police insist on dealing with them first, who am I to complain... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-42774125146792949962013-11-14T02:15:48.925-05:002013-11-14T02:15:48.925-05:00Actually the majority of land, on Vancouver Island...Actually the majority of land, on Vancouver Island, which is rural, is owned by Timber West, not the provincial government. Timber West is able to sell it to whomever they wish. The 18 mine "permits" are actually applications. They were filed during the provincial election, when people weren't noticing too much. <br /><br />Historically the christie clark and crew are affiliated with the federal Liberals, not the federal Conservatives. However, the both do not so lovely work. <br /><br />This is stevie slime's good week. His buddy Ford is taking all the press. Next week however, the cons will have to be back in Ottawa answering questions put to them by the NDP and Liberals regarding the on going scandal. However, if the RCMP don't investigate a little quicker we could all be old and gone before its over. Of course, Duffy, looking ever so cute in your pic, on thin ice, may decide to give himself an early Christmas present and publish a book. it would get him out of the Ottawa cold. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-91554264025806997562013-11-14T00:07:28.235-05:002013-11-14T00:07:28.235-05:00Federally, Jim is hiding expenses in other budgets...Federally, Jim is hiding expenses in other budgets and taking money from other budgets to "balance the books", They have borrowed from the Military and other Capital budgets and put the money into "General Income".

Harper is selling huge chunks of Canada to Communist China. I'm sure everyone knows, the BC Liberals work for Harper? Harper's FIPA deal with China means, Communist China wants the timber and the mines on Vancouver Island. Chrisy Clark and Rich Coleman, are giving BC's public assets, to BC Liberals friends. This theft is on Vancouver Island. The BC Liberals have thieved huge tracts of Land on Vancouver Island.Guess who will get the timber? There are 18 mine permits on the Vancouver Island as well. Hmmmmm Wonder who gets those mines? Seems Communist China also bought up 800 hectares in Prince Rupert.<br /><br />Here is an excellent article on these thefts and sales<br />Nov 11/2013<br />powellriverpersuader.blogspot.ca<br /><br />If people remember when? Ex BC Liberal Premier Gordon Campbell thieved and corruptly sold our BCR? Seems, the priceless property that went with the BCR, vanished. too. Gordon Campbell is Harper's favorite henchman. Harper rewarded Campbell the post of, High Commissioner to the U.K. Campbell did a lot of dirty work for Harper. And, that is only the tip of the iceberg, of what Harper and his evil is doing to Canada.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-3655992471270846072013-11-13T13:37:38.147-05:002013-11-13T13:37:38.147-05:00I hate winter.
