$2.3 billion:<\/strong> the unexpected surplus Queen’s Park collected in the last fiscal year
\n$1.4 billion:<\/strong> the deficit that was originally expected
\n$750 million: <\/strong>the province’s projected surplus for this fiscal year
\n$575 million:<\/strong> Toronto’s projected fiscal gap for next year
\n$38 million:<\/strong> the amount Toronto will receive next year from Queen’s Park if the Liberals are re-elected and McGuinty follows through on his promise to upload disability support payments and drug benefits
\n$217 million:<\/strong> the amount the above promise would generate for Toronto over 4 years
\n$221 million: <\/strong>the amount Toronto would save next year if the NDP won the election and followed through on their promise to upload social services and help fund transit
\n$400 million: <\/strong>the amount Toronto would receive from the NDP over 4 years
\n$4 billion:<\/strong> the amount of property taxes collected across Ontario that fund provincial social services including welfare, housing for the poor, social assistance drug costs, public health, ambulance, day care and senior services
\n$350-$400 million:<\/strong> amount the Green Party would give Toronto (revenue would be raised through a tax shift that would raise the equivalent amount from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153pollution taxes\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or a carbon tax)
\nTBA:<\/strong> amount the Conservative party of Ontario is promising Toronto next year. Predictions, anyone?<\/p>\n
