Horwath's whole dental/Ontario Benefits thing was the same benefits for people without benefits idea. And it looks the PCs are hard at work. What a huge waste of resources, now Justin's going to impose one on us to offset his pipeline. quote:TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford today confirmed that, as the first order of business of Ontario's Government for the People, his cabinet revoked the regulation that punishes Ontario residents at the gas pump through a wasteful cap-and-trade carbon tax regime; this measure comes into effect July 3, 2018. In order to fulfill this election commitment, the Government of Ontario will immediately begin an orderly wind-down of all programs funded out of cap-and-trade carbon tax revenues.

Postess with the Mostest posted:How much do these managers get paid on average and how does their compensation compare against the same job in the private sector? I don't have enough information to know how emotional to feel about this pay freeze. Depends on the specific position. I'm a non-union healthcare employee and I probably make 20% less than my friends in similar private sector jobs. Maybe 30% if you count they all generally have some sort of bonus program. It's still a decent salary, don't get me wrong. And the fact the work is extremely cool, unique and rewarding is what motivated most of us to take a pay cut to take it. However, restrictions on raises have caused a serious issue retaining good people in the long run as it is. Whenever we lose someone pretty much the entire reason is not enough advancement in salary. For all the bluster, in general professionals in public sector positions are anywhere from slightly to massively underpaid compared similar private sector positions.

Is there a public list of programs that were funded entirely or primarily by the Cap-and-trade revenues? https://twitter.com/BenSpurr/status/1014158405504815104 Hahahaha.

Saying that OHIP+ was cancelled is the dumbest of takes. Having a chain of insurance providers is a totally common thing, and putting OHIP+ first when it was already far more narrow in terms of coverage vs. private plans generated a lot of work and bureaucracy just to line insurance companies pockets, since private prescription coverage didn't go down one cent when it was implemented.

Are you seriously asking why a public option should be the default if it doesn't reduce your premiums?Postess with the Mostest posted:You sure you want these guys on the bus with you? Eh, sounds like she missed anyway.

infernal machines posted:Are you seriously asking why a public option should be the default if it doesn't reduce your premiums? I don't particularly care about paying less, but if insurance companies are going to charge me for full prescription coverage for my kids, I'd rather insurance companies pay for prescription drugs over the government. If OHIP+ was truly universal coverage (or anywhere close to it), I'd much rather have a system where the insurance companies are irrelevant when it comes to pharmacare, but that's not what the Liberals passed.

Was the fault of a bike lane, somehow. Ban bike lanes! I was surprised to read the shotgun wielder was only 21. I would have thought that it was some kind of broke brain boomer or something. My ageism at work
