The King of Debt meets the Queen of Debt ..... "F... you taxpayers it's now our money to spend as we see fit!"

Taxpayers Federation marks milestone by bringing debt clock to Wynne's doorstep

Toronto Ontario: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation brought the Ontario Debt Clock to the steps of Queen's Park to mark the milestone of becoming the first province to surpass $360 billion in debt.

"Everyone loves watching that moment when all the zeros on their car's odometer roll over and we thought Premier Wynne might enjoy all those zeros of debt she has accumulated turn over today" said CTF Ontario Director Christine Van Geyn. "Now Wynne sees for herself that her government 's ten consecutive deficits have done to our province's debt."

Ontario is the most indebted province in absolute terms. Ontario debt has doubled in the last nine years.

"Debt is often unseen which is why we built a giant clock to make it more visible to politicians and Ontarians. But the truth is seen in cancelled therapy for children with autism,  poor services and rising taxes" continued Van Geyn. For every billion dollars we spend on interest that is money we might have otherwise spent on things with actual value, or kept money in our own pockets to help our own families.
