The difference of $24.6 billion would not include additional spending such as the $650 million to cover vaccine purchase and delivery, flu centres and other H1N1 costs.
The figures represent a dramatic jump in the deficit estimate, first pegged at $14.1 billion in March and later to $18.4 billion in June.

We do realize that's almost 50% of the entire federal debt, and we are only one province. Scary stuff.
That said. I can recognize that while I am sure typical Liberal spend happy ways contribute to this issue, the bigger problem is the recession , reduced revenues combined with increased costs. The reality is that in a bad recession deficits happen.
So,... given that why are the Libs here so unwilling to admit the same when it comes to the Conservative Federal government and a deficit that is only about 50% per capita what this provincial deficit is.
I have made this point numerous times, and all I hear is how Harper should be hanged for it, but with McGuinty it's really just not his fault, it's the fault of, you guessed it...the Conservatives.
Why is that ? Couldn't be hypocrisy, could it ?

Of course the liberals were all immune from such terrible things as corruption,bribery and of course, lying. Liberals would never lie, now would they? it is just beneath them to do such an awful and dasterdly thing. The little liberal darlings as we all know were and always have been just a bunch of honest liberal sweethearts.
Chuckle-chuckle. Go away, troll, you bore me. ![[grin]](/forums/themes/default/grinning-smiley-007.gif)

This is how you defend the Conservatives by bringing up Adscam? The same Adscam that voters used as a justifiable reason to turff the Liberal government? With your failed logic, does this mean Canadians should turn around and turff Harper inc.?
Absolutely
Troll....your originality is impressive. Did you learn that in class today?

Hey, if you can call me a troll than so can I do the same to you, so there, troll. 
Yup, still in class, and the teachers keep asking me as to why I continue to waste my time talking to Teenacious, I will never improve nor go anywhere dealing with him, and I tell them that I feel sorry for the guy, he has no friends to play with or talk to. So there, that is why I am still in class today, thanks to you. Chuckle-chuckle.

Keep avoiding the question. Don't you have a cross-burning or Springer episode to appear on?

Ok, I will attend the cross-burnings and you can attend the Springer shows. The Springer shows I believe are just up your alley anyway. So, what's on today? A lovers quarrel between a man and his goat? Sounds like it would be a doozy.
So, is it a deal  ?

Keep avoiding it. Does this mean Canadians should stop voting Conservative?

Maybe what Canadians should do is stop voting for anybody altogether, period.
Maybe then the politicians would wakeup and realize that the taxpayer's are really pissed off. At least I hope that they would get that message. I said, I hope.

Is Date time at 8:00? I live in Toronto, we tend to go out a little later than that.
This thread isn't about Islam, I think you got the wrong thread.

To be on the internet at 8 o'clock at night on a Saturday and suggest I have no life and live in the basement is stupid, just like you.
Again, this thread has nothing to do with muslims. I think you're in the wrong spot.

So, just to confirm, that would be a "NO" to having a date.
(this boy has absolutely no sense of humour).

I had six dates yesterday, had 4 tonight. Got a lunch date tomorrow and then a day off on Monday.
Again, this thread isn't about muslims, it's about the deficit in Ontario that the right bitches about, but defends the Federal one. All the while ignoring the 15 Billion dollar surplus that was squandered.
How many dates do you go on and where do you take them? To a cross burning? Hate crime under the full moon? Long walks on the faces of muslims?
Do tell!
