Well, there's 17 minutes of my life I'm never getting back. I just read the 2021 Fall Economic Statement (mini-budget)....
Link here:
https://budget.ontario.ca/2021/fallstatement/contents.html
Let me save most of you some time.........there's no there there.
Lots of existing promises re-iterated. Precious little is new.
Minimum Wage, Highway 413 and Bradford Bypass, re-iteration of SSE, Ontario Line and Sheppard Subway East (but not west which is a problem......but I digress)....., mostly the same projects in healthcare and long term care that were already known.
There really wasn't even much of anything in terms of new timelines or details on those projects.
The new stuff, such as it is, one or two hospitals moved into the redevelopment picture, but with no clear timelines/budgets etc. (Trillium's Mississauga Campus the most notable of these).......also
redevelopment of Uxbridge hospital in the north-east GTA.
Conspicuous by its absence was no mention of the badly needed rebuild of Scarborough Hospital.
But really, most projects lacked any useful specifics.
Elsewise, if you take a staycation next year (vacation in Ontario) some of your costs will be eligible for up to a 20% rebate on your taxes. Woohoo! Time to find the top tier hotel in the Sault! LOL
