Ontario Voter Power Spring Uprising.

  Prorogation: An all-party condoned procedure and legacy used by this liberal government for purely political reason to high-jack democracy through pompous unwritten principles, non-binding conventions and traditions according to the liberal parties anointed lieutenant governor and Queen's representative  as opposed to the peoples or voters representative.

Wynne’s promise to her liberal party to recall the legislature in itself does not resolve or solve her political parties or that of other future potential abuse of arrogantly using prorogation for political purposes.

Unless the throne speech introduces measures that effectively would prohibit and make it impossible for governing political parties from introducing prorogation, unless Canada is in a declared state of war, this liberal government should be immediately defeated on a no-confidence vote by the opposition parties forthwith.

  Education:  A liberal party legacy that has allowed public education to be controlled, managed and bullied around by teachers through their union leaders and associations at the direct expense of students and taxpayers.

As a profession  teachers supposedly entered this work environment NOT for the money as it has become for wages, benefits, sick days, time off and pensions but rather to teach. Labour through it unions must be controlled by governments, the people, the same way corporations not dictated to by unelected members of the legislature.

Taxpayers, students and parents all have had enough of collateral damage directly caused to the public education system by the labour movements. The facts are clear 40,000 children do not graduate annually and a great number of those who do cannot realistically read, write or do the math, let alone spell or carry on a conversation. 

Teachers and their unauthorized indoctrination of children and students, unlike those making cars, defending the innocent and guilty, doctors and the likes, as a profession are unaccountable for the consequences of their actions to the children, students, parents, taxpayers or society.      

The public wants a word with these teachers and that is if you do not wish to teach then get out of the profession now and find another career through a union and leave the teaching to teachers who are dedicated to the same and not monetary gains at the expense of students and others. 

What about cutting the fat out of education @ http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/malkin-dare/ontario-education-budget_b_2629624.html

  Energy: Another economic disaster directly caused by this liberal government. The cancellation of gas plants demands a RCMP investigation and a subsequent judicial inquiry that has an outcome resulting in jail time and restitution by MPP’s, bureaucrats, technocrats and political parties found responsible and thus liable for wasteful spending, fiscal mismanagement of programs and services that for me legally was a breach of trust on or within government by a lack of fiduciary duties or oversight and mismanagement of public funds.     

There has been no track of transparency by Wynne previously and as such simply asking the auditor general to check the books is in my humble opinion a political attempt at a further cover-up by this liberal party.

http://opinion.financialpost.com/2012/10/10/the-733-million-gas-boondoggle/

  Economics: The liberal party of Ontario for the past ten years has clearly demonstrated no transparent political decency and honesty relating to Social justice.

As such for this liberal government is the effective implementation of the above three measures.

  Transit and Transportation:  Wynne has been a Toronto member of the legislature for a decade and has never concerned herself or her party or led the way on transit issues for either the city or the GTHA.

A 1% transit tax on banks, unions and all corporate taxpayers as opposed to a new direct 1% sales tax on individuals or parking fee increases, road tolls or additional gas taxes is the one measure immediately required for transit subway funding. 

Presently and for far too long individual income taxpayers contribute $24.2 Billion annually in taxes, while banks, corporations contribute a mere $9.4 Billion in taxes.

Any new revenues for transit funding must come from a 1% transit tax on banks, unions and all corporation doing business in Ontario and NOT a sales tax on individual taxpayers.

Duty-bound not to divulge the contents of conversation concerning the open-ended prorogation!

This liberal party's anointed lieutenant-governor pigeonholed the office with partisan politics when without hesitation or question he pompously went along with the liberal party's hijacking of democracy through its prorogation of the legislature.

It is hard-working, so-called ordinary Ontarians, who pay the bills, salaries, benefits and pension of the lieutenant-governor for any real-life performance or non-performance in the people’s legislature.

The publicly funded Queen’s representative David Onley, for the liberal party of Ontario as opposed to being an up-front representative for Ontario resident taxpayers, the only response to date for supporting prorogation of the people’s legislature and not asking other parties to form a coalition government on behalf of their electorate was based purely on pompous unwritten principles, non-binding conventions and traditions.

All hogwash in my humble opinion as a mere mortal and ordinary Canadian and Ontarian!

Ontario liberal party's anointed premier has far greater problems that media trumpeted Toronto phobia!

Unfortunately, the entire liberal party of Ontario along with K. Wynne services to the liberal party as an elected party member of the legislature is part and parcel of the problems that taxpayers and the next few generations of youth are now forced to contend with for years to come. 

Her unquestionable support for the liberal party and its fiscal policies of out of control spending, borrowing and higher debt thanks partially to cancelled gas plants, E-Health, Energy Plan, No Bid Contracts, Non-Competitive or Sole Sourced and Closed Tendered Contracts all resulted from her support as a public servant for the liberal party that led lastly produced the Hijacking Democracy Ontario Style through the prorogation of the Ontario legislature.                      

                                                                                   
                                                                                            For myself and tens of thousands of Ontario citizens of voting age such collaborative destructive actions on the part of Wynne and her liberal party DO NOT represent positive change but rather fiscal mismanagement that borders on a breach of trust on or within the government, its bureaucrats and technocrats for disregard of their elected or appointed fiduciary duties and mismanagement of public funds in my humble opinion as a mere mortal.

Do Political Parties Represent Honesty and Transparency?

  



A copy of an open letter to Tim Hudak and the Ontario PC party for What it is worth.

Tim,

As an elected member of the conservative party, supposedly representing about 40,000 members, some of which are less than voting age or even age of majority similar to the liberals, NDP and other political parties and all, in reality, accounts for less than ONE per cent of eligible voters, might I suggest that you as the leader of this party and all the other party leaders have a real problem in getting a majority of members elected as puppets to the Ontario legislature!

For myself, 60,000 thousand plus non-political yet voting individuals associated with me from time to time. Most likely 50% of them, unfortunately, do not take the time to vote.

To get elected yourself along with a slim majority of your political party’s selected candidates for the legislature, as your voting puppets, might one suggest a winning election platform for such members including yourself of course as their leader?

Once democracy is back in place because of the peoples legislature is finally recalled after its prorogation for purely political party reasons in part thanks in part to the backward thinking of the so-called Queen's representative David Onley and your parties failure to effectively or politically  meaningfully or legally challenge such a one-sided political farce by the previous leader of the liberal party, you announce that within the first day of the opening of the legislature, your party goes on record to demand the following:  

1.      Defeats the government immediately on a vote of no confidence and first introduce legislation that prohibits any political party or its leader in the legislature from ever again using prorogation of the people's legislature, unless the parliament of Canada has declared an act of war, for self-serving party politics and high jacking democracy through such a procedural process.

2.      Call for an RCMP investigation and federal judicial inquiry into the cancellation of power plants, E-health, Orange and all no-bid contracts, non-competitive sole-sourced or closed tendered contracts at city and municipal levels.

3.      Introduce legislation that call for a revamp and reorganization of Metrolinx and the TTC that allows for a new GTHA public transit authority that includes one  elected representative from each region or municipality and city along with one from the province and the federal government.

4.      Introduce legislation that call for a ONE Percent Transit Tax on all corporations, banks, unions and non-profit organization that shall be designated legally for only existing and operating transit system within Canada using a funding formal based solely on ridership and user stats.

The citizens of Ontario have had enough of wasteful spending and non commitment to transit funding by both the provincial and federal garments, the extravagant salaries of elected and non elected officials and their benefits, pensions, union wages and pensions, teachers breaking the laws because of union leaders greed under the false banner of union negotiation rights etc.    

Elected official including the premier, political parties, bureaucrats, technocrats, and union leaders all must be held legally responsible and pay restitution for past and present act of breach of trust on or within the government or union members for disregard of their elected or appointed fiduciary duties and mismanagement of public funds or union dues.

Should you incorporate the above you just might have an opportunity to get yourself and a majority of your political party members elected

Warmest regards,

Peter Clarke

Cyclists Breaking Canadian Income Tax Laws while Cycling their Talk?

The allowable amount for claiming a mileage business tax deduction for employees is 55¢ per kilometre NOT $1 a per kilometre.

Revenue Canada should take note of such questionable tax practices by these agencies and their very illegal focus on social responsibility.

In Politics one’s Daily Life Including Sexual Preferences of Politicians is the Right to know by every Potential Voter.

It matters to straight individuals and families as gay and lesbian activists for the most part just might be closet heterophobic members of society themselves.

Bullying, for example, is not limited to young gay kids or minorities as George Smitherman, the defeated candidate for Toronto Mayor and one of the liberal party's members of the cabinet responsible for the E-health scandal would like to lead voters to believe.

One’s individual family values and moral principles, including those of the liberal party’s recently elected lesbian leader is a sign of strength which superseding LGBT activists politics along with those of the mainstream media’s hysteria and muckraking journalists.

However, it would also be fair to state that Toronto’s mainstream liberal media like the Star and Globe have become overzealous, in their never-ending goal in attempting to force the ideals and beliefs of gays, lesbians and bisexual on all Torontonians, through their efforts to create a society that must conform to only one viewpoint. That being of the LGBT community!

When individuals do not conform to this bullying and rigid viewpoint of outright acceptance of the LGBT lifestyles, encouraged and supported by the media or special interest groups, there is a rush to judgment against such individuals and they are promptly wrongly labelled as being homophobic.  

Such hasty unfounded critical judgment made personally against others within the community of citizens is itself a direct form of bullying and a reverse method of discrimination.  

So let’s not have any more HETERO PHOBIA.

The majority of Canadian individuals all have relationships, families, friends, acquaintances and lives for the most part, reject or accept social trends and have that democratic right of freedom to choose without being intimidated, harassed or bullied to conform to a single point of view as proposed by heterophobic individuals.

If gay and lesbian individuals do not wish to be publicly identified as same then perhaps they themselves are closet HETEROPHOBIC people.

When special interest groups label heterosexual people as a homophobic individual   because of a belief and ideals of wanting to retain marriage between a man and a woman, then obviously a lesbian or gay person who holds the belief and ideas yet demands changing marriage laws around the world to permit same-sex marriage should be labelled a HETEROPHOBE.

The Public Did Not Want Prorogation and the Opposition Played No part in the Liberal Parties Crowning of their Lesbian Leader.

First what the public deserves and demands is the

immediate return of democracy by the reopening of the legislature this week and not in a few weeks.

Secondly is an election so that all legally registered voters within the province have the democratic right and obligation to choose for themselves just who deserves to be referred to as the Premier of Ontario.

Thirdly no one political party, premier or prime minister should have the right to the prorogation of the legislature or house of commons for any contrived reason whatsoever. 

Like the previous war measures act prorogation must be eliminated as a provision available to any one political party in our Canadian democracy.

Fourthly an RCMP investigation followed by a judicial commission must be held into the cancelled gas plants, E-Health, Energy Plan, No-Bid Contracts, Non-Competitive or Sole Sourced and Closed Tendered Contracts both at the provincial level and city of Toronto. 


Taxpayers and voters do not just want the appearance of transparency and accountability they demand it as it is their money that is continually being wasted by these career politicians, bureaucrats and technocrats within all levels of governments.  

Something is drastically gone wrong with our democracy when a mere 2073 members of the liberal party some under the age of 15, many less than the age of majority and a few who are clearly heterophobic   individuals get to decide who shall be the anointed non elected premier of Ontario because of the liberal party and its previous leader's prorogation of the legislature for self-serving political reasons.

Finally, in my opinion as a mere mortal citizen and taxpayer, to clear the polluted political air that continues to surround the halls of democracy at Queens Park.

We the voters must stop the continuing old quasi corrupt political antics  that for far too long have dominated both the affairs of the legislature and the City of Toronto someone namely politicians and bureaucrats have to be equally held directly responsible, accountable and liable for present and past acts of Breach of Trust and Fraud on and within governments for the disregard of their elected or non elected fiduciary duties and mismanagement of public funds.            

Political honeymoons’ must become a thing of the past for democracy's sake.

Taxpayer Deserve a RCMP Investigation and Judicial Inquiry of All Approved No Bid Contracts, Non Competitive Sole Sourced or Closed Tendered Contracts.

In 2002 after the scandals’ around the city of Toronto and councils computer leasing deals an external contracts inquiry was commissioned by Madam Justice Denise Bellamy.

Unfortunately, it did not deal with or consider the ongoing practice by the city, council, the TTC and other cities taxpayer-funded boards and agencies regarding these well hidden unsavoury practices that are open to political insiders and straight-up corruption in my opinion.   

Far too many of TTC and City approved the lease extension sole-sourced and non-noncompetitive bid contracts continue to be supported by councillors and then entered into by the city.

The Star and other mainstream media outlets have the audacity to harass and bully Mayor Ford when he questions the appropriateness of such deals even though Madam Justice Bellamy in her conclusions recommended that “The Mayor should report to the public on major contracts or tenders the council awarded or approved.”

Star's Editorial is Arrogant, Critically Flawed and Unfit as Continues their Biased View of Toronto’s Duly Elected Mayor Ford.

All people are created equal and all are equally imperfect and we still have unequal laws and taxes created by unjust people.

Such editorials by the Star are solely for the purpose of non-elected representation and political interference into the policy decisions of democratically elected representatives of the voters within the city of Toronto in my humble opinion as a mere mortal. 

This unnecessary legal sideshow and bullying attempts by the mainstream media and non elected would be representatives of citizens who are political foes of the Mayor and supported financially by publicity-seeking lawyers against the duly elected Mayor of Toronto must cease.  

For those like the Star and Globe and Mail who seek to direct or set the political agenda and policies for the City of Toronto, from behind the council chambers of democracy, by continuing to insist that an elected Mayor of the people must change the platform he was elected on to their direction of socialized liberal communism I suggest that they put forward their individual names along with their political mission platforms for the position of Toronto’s mayor directly to the voters as candidates in the 2014 city elections.

“They have no case and no just cause beyond their own ideological delirium — these fantasy rock throwers, the usual collection of leftists and waffly centrists, cringing sophisticates, downtown Liberals, Toronto Star columnists, CBC reporters, Ryerson academics and would-be mayoral candidates who would like to maintain the old quasi-corrupt ways that have long dominated Toronto city government.”

Why Civic Action Group’s Varnished Favoritism for Personal Taxes and NOT Corporate and Union Transit Taxes?

James, Burton and the special interest group Civic Action all are proponents and mouthpieces for new revenue taxing sources directly and only on the individual taxpayer for:

Highway tolls, Sales tax, Property tax, Payroll tax, Fuel tax, Vehicle tax, Parking levy, Land transfer tax and Development charges as opposed to a 1% or 2 % transit tax levied on banks, unions, corporations doing business within Ontario and Canada!

As such they represent the interest of big business, banks corporations and unions NOT the residents and citizen taxpayers of Toronto, Ontario or Canada. Any new revenues for transit funding must come from a 1% or 2 % transit tax on banks, unions and all corporations doing business in Ontario and NOT a sales tax or other taxes directed against and on individual taxpayers.

It is TIME for banks, unions and all corporations to contribute their share for transit costs and NOT just citizen taxpayers.

Metrolinx and the city of Toronto transit funding proposals call for a city tax of some sort and DO NOT suggest or allow for a corporate transit tax on banks, unions, corporations and not profit organizations?

Revenue source	Nominal rate	GTHA annual revenue
Personal income tax increase	1%	$1.4 billion
Sales tax	1%	$1.3 billion
Property tax	1%	$90 million
Payroll tax	1%	$500 million
Highway tolls	10 cents/KM	$1.5 billion
Fuel tax	10 cents	$500 million
Vehicle tax	$100	$300 million
Parking levy	$365  space	$1.08 billion
Land transfer tax	1%	$600 million
Development fees	$5,000 unit	$200 million

Banks, Unions, Corps.  

Transit tax                   1%/2%         $6 to $12 billion      

The special interest group transit Alliance also does not allow or provide for any direct corporation transit tax because this lobbying group is primarily supported by corporations, banks and unions. Their position is for a direct citizen by means of a new 1% sales tax.

The question that has to be asked and answered by these career politicians, special interest groups, technocrats and bureaucrats is, where are the alternative proposals that call for a new direct transit tax on banks, corporations, non-profits and unions instead of the usual all party platforms for more citizen taxes and NOT corporate transit tax?

Not one of the ten funding proposal by these career politicians, technocrats,  bureaucrats or special interest groups and lobbyists call for a transit tax on corporations, banks and unions doing business in Canada.

For the media, special interest groups, Metrolinx and technocrats’ to suggest that Toronto’s property taxpayers and citizens on their own should fund public transit is totally unrealistic.

It is a self-serving political agenda by political parties of all stripes along with their puppet career politicians and businesses who themselves cannot get their hands out of the public trough.

Asking Torontonians to suck-up yet another little new sales tax increase of 1%, that over the years would quickly become 5% or more, would not come close to the annual BILLIONS of dollars needed to fund any new subways, let alone LRT’s or the current infrastructure requirements for existing operations and never-ending fare and salary increases of the TTC, is scandalous.

My proposed 1% Transit Tax on Banks, Unions, and Corporations operating in Canada could generate $ 6 Billion annually for existing public transit in Canadian cities, including Toronto.

The 1% direct Sales Tax on citizen proposed by the transit alliance special interest group, supported and financed by businesses, could only yield $1.3 Billion according to media reports, metrolinx and the city of Toronto.

A Transit Tax of 1% on Banks, Unions and Corporations would Generate 100% more funding for public transit than a 1% Sales Tax.
