The collar and the leash.

Why is this dog upset⁉️He is channeling the feelings of his owner who is also on a leash held by politicians, bureaucrats, judges and enforcement officers‼️

Regulations are like land mines.

You don’t know they exist until you accidentally step on one‼️

Did you know that there are approximately 🥺 400,000 regulations 😡 in force under the authority of the Ontario government that has the fiduciary obligation to 🕵🏽 enforce👮 them⁉️

With so many regs, it’s no wonder the so many people enjoy provincial government jobs at such enormous taxpayer expense 💲💲💲💲💲. Claude.ai reports:

The Government of Ontario is one of the largest employers in the province. According to recent data, the Ontario Public Service (OPS) employs approximately 60,000-65,000 people directly.

However, this number only represents direct provincial government employees. When you include the broader public sector - which encompasses people working in healthcare, education, provincial agencies, boards, and commissions - the total rises significantly to approximately 1.3 million employees.

This broader number includes:

- Hospital workers

- School board employees (teachers, administrators)

- College and university staff

- Crown corporation employees

- Various provincial agencies and commissions

The exact numbers can fluctuate year to year based on government policies, budget decisions, and organizational changes. For the most current precise figures, you might want to check the Ontario Ministry of Finance or Treasury Board Secretariat's official publications.

What is the size of the budget for the Ontario Public Service?

The operating budget for the Ontario Public Service (OPS) is part of the larger Ontario provincial budget. Based on recent provincial budgets, the operating expenditure for the Ontario government is approximately $175-185 billion annually.

This figure includes all ministries, programs, and services delivered by the provincial government. The specific budget allocated solely to running the OPS (salaries, benefits, operations) would be a portion of this amount, likely in the range of $10-15 billion.

The Ontario budget is divided into various sectors, with the largest portions typically going to:

- Health care (approximately 40-42% of the budget)

- Education (approximately 18-20%)

- Children's and social services (approximately 11-12%)

- Justice sector (approximately 3-4%)

- Other government operations and services

For the most precise and current figures, I would recommend checking the most recent Ontario Budget documents published by the Ministry of Finance, as budget allocations can change year to year based on government priorities and economic conditions.

How large is the public debt of the Ontario government?

The Ontario government's debt is one of the largest among Canadian provinces. As of the latest financial reporting (early 2025), Ontario's net debt stands at approximately $455-465 billion.

This represents about 40% of Ontario's GDP, making it one of the most indebted sub-national governments in the world.

The province spends roughly $13-14 billion annually on interest payments alone to service this debt, which is about 8% of the provincial budget. This makes debt servicing the fourth largest spending category in the Ontario budget, after healthcare, education, and social services.

The debt has grown significantly over the past decade due to a combination of factors including:

- Economic downturns

- Infrastructure investments

- Pandemic-related spending

- Ongoing budget deficits

The exact debt figures are updated regularly in the province's fiscal updates and annual budgets published by the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

DOGE Ontario

Where is our Elon Musk hiding?

Trump and Musk hope to cut $2,000,000,000,000 out of America’s annual federal spending by eliminating fraud, waste, incompetence, cronyism and inefficiencies in all federal agencies. If they succeed, Make America Great Against (MAGA) will not be just one of history’s greater campaign slogans.

Like America, Ontario is heading for a financial cliff without a parachute🥺.

Ontario desperately needs a MOGA (Make Ontario Great Again) with a Department of Government Efficiency, a DOGE‼️

Voters will never get MOGA from the BORG (blue, orange, red, and Green) parties because they are part of the problem, not the solution.

Only YOU, the VOTER, can FIX this problem.

Demand LESS GOVERNMENT from anyone and everyone in politics and public authority until Ontario’s DOGE team reveal themselves and undertakes the MOGA mandate.

Dogs love to run freely off leash.

Dogs are happiest when playing off leash with their human companions. People are like that too.

Let’s eliminate as many regulatory land mines as possible.

Let our citizens run free without the fear of unseen landmines, or the presence of regulation enforcers who are watching their every move.
