Gerry,

I had suggested before, that we have a “tax waste” email line. The idea is not to create a job (please not more jobs), but simply have the ability for citizens to provide input…

Ontario’s debt is $220 BILLION or Caress each Ontario owes $17,000.00 per person. Like a car loan from a Bank. […]
