Ontario indicated today that it has more cash than it can possible spend, so look for massive tax cuts, Ontarians! It is also officially looking for toilets to flush cash into —without wasting too much water of course. A 437-member committee of liberals has been struck to conduct research into low-flush toilets that don’t back up too badly. That’s to accommodate documents that may need to be flushed just prior to election time, which they don’t want coming back on them in that quaint low-flush toilet way.
Ontario Trillium Logo Replaced

Friday, June 23, 2006Ontario’s traditional trillium logo has been updated.
The Liberal Government spent 219-thousand dollars to replace the T-shaped rendition of the official provincial flower with an A-shaped Trillium.
Government Services Minister Gerry Phillips says it’s a coincidence that the new logo resembles the Liberals rendition of Ontario’s official flower.
Of course as usual, the liberals running things in Ontario have overlooked the obvious, which was to replace their official flower with the official new mascot of the liberal-left—the Holcoglossum amesianum, a flower which has sex with itself.
The leftist Toronto Star is in high dudgeon, largely because this move has embarrassed the trilllium out of them and all leftists who so adore big huge liberal-left governments.
The Liberal government has quietly replaced the traditional Ontario trillium logo dating back to 1964 with a version of the flower similar to the party’s trademark.
In a move opposition critics blasted as “a waste of money” at a time when Premier Dalton McGuinty’s administration is running a deficit, the stylized trillium has been radically changed.
Gone is the classic T-shaped rendition of the official provincial flower introduced by Progressive Conservative premier John Robarts 42 years ago.
In its place is a more detailed A-shaped trillium that is eerily similar to one that appears in the dot on the “i” in the Ontario Liberal Party’s three-year-old logo.
Bensimon Byrne, a Liberal-friendly advertising firm, designed the new provincial logo at a cost of $219,000. The agency’s Peter Byrne created the Liberals’ 2003 election ads, including the now-infamous spot featuring McGuinty saying: “I won’t raise your taxes.”
And liberals once again demonstrate their abject misunderstanding of the creation of things with this statement about how they’ll phase it in:
“It’ll be a long evolutionary period,” [Government Services Minister Gerry Phillips] said, adding the new logo first appeared in little-noticed ads in March.
This has nothing to do with “evolution”—this is creationism at its most basic.
