GTA Ontario to get Measley 10 % of $80-Billion Needed for Infrastructure & Maybe Road Tolls too?

NOT including a 50 % Hike in Fuel Costs & Food etc.

... The multibillion-dollar gap between what Ontario taxpayers send to Ottawa and what they receive in federal government services is still there despite more than three years of hard campaigning.

Ontario's Conservative MPs seem to be just as useless in pushing the province's interests as the Liberals were when they were in government.

Ontario still gets treated differently from other provinces when it comes to health-care funding, employment insurance and infrastructure allocations.

And don't even mention the equalization scheme ...

...As well, fuel oil and other fuels rose 49.3 per cent, the same pace as in May.

As had been predicted for several months, food price inflation made an appearance, with store-bought food rising three per cent on an annual basis.

The chief culprit in the rise in food prices continued to be baked goods,

up 12.3 per cent, but there also were price hikes for other items such as

lettuce, milk and butter. Food inflation stood at 1.9 per cent in May.

And restaurant prices had the biggest runup since the GST was introduced in 1991, up 0.9 per cent from the previous month.

Pasta products were 35.9 per cent costlier than 12 months earlier,

while flour cost 44.5 per cent more and

bread was on average 17.7 per cent more expensive...

Ontario's McSquinty gets mad at Ottawa for not suporting Ontario enough etc..He's complained in the past.

Newfoundland wants more control over it's resources. They get called everything from beggars to welfare bums by many in the rest of Canada and the media.

Don't get me wrong, Ontario needs infrastructure monies and rightly so, like any province, but the double standards of name calling by many in this country is ridiculous.

So many variations of the story
basically Cash MUCH Too late

Feds, Ont. commit $6.2B to boost province's infrastructure
The federal and Ontario governments have signed a deal that commits $6.2 billion for

roads, bridges, broadband internet service and other infrastructure improvements in the province

over the next six years...
