Hey Orko,

The issue for farmers is not related to weather or other forces of nature. The fact is that farmers in other jurisdictions, ones that our farmers compete against, receive huge subsidies from government to grow their crops. The most notable being the province of Quebec and the USA. These subsidies allow those farmers to bring crops to market at a price much lower than our farmers can, therefore pricing Ontario crops out of the market.

Aos, one correction from an earlier comment. The federal government does not "take" bugdet surpluses from Ontario or form any other province. The "fiscal imbalance" we hear about is the difference in the amount the federal government receives in taxes Ontaio citizens and businesses versus the amount that is spent here on federal programs and federal transfer payments for things like health care.

From my understanding, there has usually been a budget surplus, but Ottawa usually took a lot of that money, leaving us behind. Also, since there is a surplus, and the deficit is being brought down from $5.5b to $1.4b, proves they are actually getting money back into the system.

Yes the health tax was BS.


Yes, I believe that most of the surplus money goes towards paying off the Federal debt.

You're surprised the government has lied? This is nothing new, and it happens no matter what party is in power. Like I've stated in another thread, we need to be voting for the lesser of evils. We could also lead a mass revolt or revolution and radically change the way government is run, but most people are too oblivious and care-free for that to happy, so back to reality.

I think we need to get rid of Harper before we get rid of anyone else. Harper in fact should not have gotten to power in the first place.
