Trade Offs. I Will Take Tory's Faith Based Funding Over The Liberal's Lawyer and Crony Based Funding Anyday

Let’s look at some numbers (again).

Yellow Bellied McShifty, by his party’s own admission, says that the per capita cost to funding the current public school system is $9,526 per child.

The statistics show that there are approximately 55,000 children in faith based schools that are not receiving funding.

I must point out here that schools get their funding based on a per “butt on the seat” aspect. i.e. if a child is not in a school seat the school does NOT get funding. This is VERY important for people to understand.

What it means is that while everyone in the province pays taxes, funding a faith based school would NOT take money out of the current system. In fact, it would inject money INTO our education system because people who have already made the decision to have their children go to a faith based school would now get funding. How much?

Well the math is easy. $9,526 x 55,000 children is approximatley $524 Million.

What does McShifty do with this money at this point in time? He keeps it to spend on other things. Like what you ask?

Those taxes collected from the parents of children in faith based schools gets spent on scandals like the $1 Million that went to a cricket club when they only asked for $150,000. Tie in the other end of year budget shopping sprees and we get…

Total Wasted: $32 Million

It also get’s spent on provincial advertising campaigns for Caledonia that line the pockets of Liberal supporters and their families.

Total Wasted: $50,000

It goes to fund the pockets of Liberals and Liberal cronies such as Jane Stewart and David Peterson for negotiating with criminals like the natives in Caledonia.

It goes to buy land so that the OPP doesn’t have to do their job and clean out criminal land squatters in Caledonia who resort to violence.

Total Wasted: $55 Million

It goes to pay lawyers to fight against funding for autistic kids and, even more so, it goes to paying lawyers to fight to hide the cost of that fight!!! How OfficiallyScrewed is that???

Total Wasted: $2.4M on the first case and an unknown amount fighting both NDP MPP Shelley Martel and the Privacy Commissioner.

The list could go on and on.

Here’s some more math. The Health tax that McShifty brought down shortly after promising not to raise taxes brought the province of Ontario approximately $2.6 BILLION a year in revenue.

Wake up Ontario. It’s Tory Time.
