Product Description
In spite of its critical importance to social stability, the Ontario social welfare system has avoided scrutiny to a remarkable degree. In this book, the authors use their extensive experience as landlords to blow the cover off Ontario’s social welfare system. They show how the system is operated as what can best be described as a “special welfare cult” whose insiders jealously guard its secrets. This has significant implications for housing, homelessness, crime, and the taxpayer-funded cost of the system. More importantly, it threatens to undermine the comfortable middle-class lifestyle of the majority of Ontarians.

Other mandated program areas for CFS include providing expert testimony in courts of law and tribunals, research and development, and client education and training.

Excerpt: Ontario Legislative Building -Designed by Richard A. Waite, the Ontario Legislative Building is an asymmetrical, five storey structure built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, with a load bearing iron frame. This is clad inside and out in Canadian materials where possible; the 10.5 million bricks were made by inmates of the Central Prison, and the Ontario sandstone with a pink-hue that has earned the building the colloquial name of The Pink Palace comes from the Credit River valley and Orangeville, Ontario, and was given a rustic finish for most of the exterior, but dressed for trim around windows and other edges. There can also be seen over the edifice a multitude of stone carvings, including gargoyles, grotesques, and friezes. The exterior is punctuated with uncharacteristically large windows, allowed by the nature of the iron structure. The building's exterior, with the characteristic pink-hue sandstone. The main facade looks south, with the central axis of the building an extension of that for University Avenue, meaning that the Legislative Building creates a terminating vista for the north end of that main thoroughfare. The Legislative Chamber sits directly on this axis, in the centre of the building, and is lit by the three large and prominent arched windows above the main portico. This block is flanked by two domed towers, the west of which was originally intended to hold a clock, but was fitted with a rose window instead, after funds for the clock were never amassed. The asymmetry of the south face was not originally as strong as it is at present; the west wing was designed to have three stories under a pyramidal ro...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3022883 ...

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Government of Ontario refers to the provincial government of the province of Ontario, Canada. Its powers and structure are set out in the Constitution Act, 1867. In modern Canadian use, the term "government" referred broadly to the cabinet of the day, elected from the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and the non-political staff within each provincial department or agency that is, the civil service. The civil service that manages and delivers government policies, programs, and services is called the Ontario Public Service. The province of Ontario is governed by a unicameral legislature, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, which operates in the Westminster system of government. The political party that wins the largest number of seats in the legislature normally forms the government, and the party's leader becomes premier of the province, i.e., the head of the government. Due to the location of the Ontario Legislature on the grounds of Queen's Park, the Ontario government is frequently referred to by the metonym "Queen's Park". The Ontario Public Service was named one of "Canada's Top 100 Employers" by Maclean's newsmagazine in 2009, and again in 2010. The Ontario Public Service was also named one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers by the Toronto Star in 2009, and was named one of "Canada's Best Diversity Employers" in 2009 by Bank of Montreal The functions of the Sovereign, Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, and known in Ontario as the Queen in Right of Ontario, are exercised by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.

From the supplier: A report that reviews Ontario's revenue policy goals has been released by two associations representing government financial executives in the province. It recommends a renewed focus on nontax revenues with an emphasis on user charges and other service fees. The report also recommends a four-part procedure for reviewing such fees and charges and stresses the need for their systematic analysis, approval, implementation and administration.
