2013 Fraser Institute data: 23% of Ontarians work for government. By now (2017), and with Trudeau Jr. as the Queen's top ______ in Canada, that figure is probably 25%.  Hey PEOPLE of Ontario! Did you know one in four of us is employed by Government??? Must be nice -- all those benefits and sick days and benefits and pension and benefits and unions and benefits... Oh, did I mention benefits? I get punished when I'm sick, while one in 4 of my fellow Ontarians gets Rewarded, big league. Awesome. You ever apply for a government job? If you're white, and a guy, good luck to you. Says right on the apps: "Are you a member of a visible minority, or a woman?" Meanwhile private sector folks (un-unionized) can get fired "without cause," i.e., for NO reason! Like if you ask for a raise, boom! Watch out! Democracy in action right there baby!!
