"… You are viewing it with the benefit and lens of hindsight where it looks bigger now six years later because of what we know now than it may have looked at the time in the context of a myriad of other matters and issues swirling around, especially in the hectic period of on-boarding a new government," Wernick wrote.

What kind of bull#$#% nonsense statement is that.

What kind of bull#$#% nonsense statement is that.That reads "we thought we'd still be able to cover everything up with money as we've been trying to do for the past 100 years regarding indigneous matters. Who would have known that it would have blown up in our face and we would have been exposed for the true monsters we were".Residential school survivors knew what kind of monsters the church and government were. The Church and government knew it. Joe Public didn't and that's who they wanted to keep the information away from. So, with that said, is the government any less of a monster now than they were when they were promoting the residential school system?

Premier Ford says he's looking for "hard working" immigrants to help fill the labour gap. "You come here like every other new Canadian, you work your tail off. If you think you're coming to collect the dough and sit around, not going to happen. Go somewhere else."#onpoli— Colin D'Mello | Global News (@ColinDMello) October 18, 2021

That's very telling, though not surprising.As an aside: what a terrible question. I am very concerned about climate change and its global effects.Does it pose a threat to planet Earth? Not at all. The Earth will be fine. Its inhabitants, including all the innocent animals? That's a different story.
So Ford is scrapping licence plate renewal fees and stickers. Sucks as we just renewed them being January babies, but at least it sounds like we'll get a rebate for that.Which begs the questions -- what's the purpose of scrapping them besides it being an election ploy? And conversely, what was the purpose of them in the first place outside of being a complete cash-grab revenue generator?

And conversely, what was the purpose of them in the first place outside of being a complete cash-grab revenue generator?The license card and plate renewals (and by extension, the drive clean initiative) all drive revenues back into the government budget to spend on things like road repairs, infrastructure improvements. The Drive Clean initiative was also to help mitigate the harmful emissions that stem from poor car maintenance.Aside from being an election ploy to attract voters with shortsighted/selfish 'gains', wiping $1B+ from the provincial government spending power means cuts to social safety nets and infrastructure retrofits, etc. People will pay more elsewhere, while Ford can help his private business buddies make more money filling in those gaps.
