Yep I've seen the recent polls but I still think a majority will be very very difficult for them. But anything is possible.
60K from the LCBO would be an easy sell in theory, in the sense that it gets him close to the 100K .. but really none of these will be lost jobs.
I know folks who work for the government ... e-health related .. yes I know ... believe it or not (coming from the private sector, IT) the experience so far is there is real work being done, with stringent timelines just like the private sector.
So I think any sizable cuts will drastically impact the city of Toronto (just like Ottawa is feeling the pain right now) as many of these jobs are located in downtown Toronto.
They are 60k "government" jobs off the provincial roll. That they would be (basically) instantly replaced be the private sector plays into the Hudak narrative of corporations stepping up to fill these jobs. It still ignores the actual profit lost, and further cuts required to cover that loss. And yes Toronto will continue to be 'punished' for being too social, and nearly Con free.
