you are a nut job, ontario has increased its spending by hiring up some 350.000 public sector workers and they did that AFTER the crash in 08 hit us, thus chosing to ramp up spending which has created the largest fastest debt increase in our history, now 320 BILLION! . the size of the debt is due to that, we already pay the most taxes period, its not just rates its the never ending adding of things taxed that has never stopped growing under liberal fiscal incompetence  THAT IS A FACT
