60 years ago today the Korean War started.

The City of Ottawa is subsidizing residents $75 to install low flush toilets to save water.

The City of Ottawa also just approved a $1.2 M expenditure on two watermobiles to promote more usage of Ottawa drinking water.

Logic says residents are paying taxes to move water from toilets to drinking glasses.

Yummy! How OfficiallyScrewed is that?

Today on Lowell Green’s morning show the topic of immigration was up. Some callers supported skilled immigration in areas we need as having a priority.

I like this concept in theory and I would even propose having a list of authorized audited institutions for confirmation (if we don’t already).

And a group of skilled people in a needed trade should be used to confirm that the immigrant’s skillset is adequate in order to prevent fraudular claims.

Just my 2 cents.

Today on CFRA Radio it was announced that the tax workers moving from the provincial payroll to the federal payroll when the HST is implemented will not only keep there seniority and pay, but they will also receive 6 months severence from the province amounting to a one time payout of $30K to $50K each. This is despite the fact that they will not lose a single day of pay.

The ONLY employees who should get a severence are ones who are let go in the transition.

OfficiallyScrewed…again.

Timestamp 502pm:

Lisa MacLeod opened the session with an intro speech encompassing the general outline of the AGM.

She just fielded questions about the byelections, about the vote swing in Ottawa West Nepean.

MPP MacLeod believes that the party is resurging under the results even though Beth Graham lost. The Liberal candidate had 30 years of exposure in the community and Graham had 3 weeks.

Short and sweet intro.

So in an honest effort to take part, I have been filling my countertop green bin with coffee grounds/filters, turkey bones, pork chop bones, lettuce ends, onion peels, egg shells and dirty paper towels for the past two weeks.

Last Sunday night I went to lift the paper bag (lined with a plastic) that came with the bin out of it and the bottom of the bag fell out effectively making the bag more waste.

So I went to the grocery store and spent 6 bucks on 20 plasticky type compostable bags.

I wonder if this bag will also start to compost before I get a chance to toss it out.

PREDICTION: The green bin program will fall flat on it’s face within 3 months leaving us nowhere to put our eggshells except on the face of Ottawa’s left wing city councilors.

Today, columnist Michael Harris pinned the tail on the Iggy when he addressed Iggy’s “new” love for the environment.

A man who has just been knocked down by a bus doesn’t usually get up and jump in front of a train.

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff has done just that with the announcement that the “heart” of the Liberal platform in the next federal election will be the environment and clean energy. Has a political death wish ever been expressed more clearly? And didn’t they try that, albeit in reverse, in the last federal bun fight?

The plan under Stephane Dion was a carbon tax; the Ignatieff approach is oceanic government spending on clean energy.

But the key is this next line. If we were using hockey analogies, this next line is the equivalent of “putting it top shelf where mama keeps the peanut butter”.

Between these two professors, the traditional Liberal bases have been covered tax and spend.

Iggy is the “Spend” to Dion’s “Tax”.

Brilliant.

Dalton McGuinty’s government is taking more heat on E-health.

In his 50-page report on eHealth released today, Auditor General Jim McCarter said he found Ontario taxpayers “have definitely not received value for money on the $1 billion spent to date.”He suggests that the actual value of services received wasn’t anywhere near the $1 billion in untendered contracts, and Ontarians have not received hundreds of millions of dollars worth of what they should have.McCarter blames the waste of money on the government spending hundreds of millions with no proper strategic plan on the results it wanted.He also blamed lack of supervision over the agency.

When will Ontarians learn that McShifty and his cronies are officially screwing us over?
