Billions blown by Ontario government but who's counting?

This is the headline from an article that appeared in the Toronto Sun, today. I'll provide the link below, but first I want to make a comment.

Chances are you will read this headline, shake your head, and move on. That's what governments--ALL governments--are counting on. That's why they're so nonchalant about tossing taxpayer dollars against the wall, hoping some of it will stick until they can get elected or re-elected.

The fact is, we should be outraged. We should be so outraged that we should be looking for a rail, boiling the tar, and plucking the chicken.

Have you a billion to squander? I thought not. Neither do I. To put it into perspective, here's what it could buy (just multiply everything by 2).

One of the lines from the above mentioned article that struck me, was the following:

"A billion here, a billion there.
 Lets see there is eHealth, Ornge, the cancelled gas plants, coal plants, the Caledonia mess, the HST, smart metres, the tire tax, the cancelled nuclear program, the Samsung deal."

Any one of these should have sent the populace into a frenzy.

I know you're not going to riot in the streets. Canadians don't do that. We're too polite. But at least write a letter of complaint. All the email addressed of the cabinet ministers are listed (see http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/members/members_current.do?locale=en&list_type=ministers&go=go), so let them know how you feel.

Anyway, if you want to read the full, unhappy story, got to: Billions blown by Ontario government but who's counting? BY JOE WARMINGTON, TORONTO SUN
