   Let's see now . . .  using taxpayer dollars to create jobs for infrastructure   
   and for safer, more efficient infrastructure.   
   What a bloody travesty!  Better we spend those dollars on repeat wars in   
   Afghanistan or Iraq and Syria, don't ya think?

   Your interpretations of her words are worth nothing here, 'Wakefield'.  You're   
   a conservative liberal-hater who could never be happy until a Con party is the   
   one running the province into the ground again.

   Kathleen Wynne knows how to spend taxpayer dollars on relevant investments that   
   have more than one return.  Jobs and safer infrastructure are not creating   
   'debt'.  Just the opposite.   
   Another dim bulb.  Lots of them here in this newsgroup . . . .
