If a comp employee falls down the stairs and gets injured,I wonder how they would be treated, after all they would have intentional injured them selves
Hello Randy,
I have quite a few points to make; at the same time I will do my best not to waste time or be redundant. I have researched so many things; some of them are handy and the rest, I have read, but I do not have the numbers down to the last detail. Most of these details can be looked up on Wikipedia.
I started to work for Ontario Hydro, on construction in 1967. Before we get on to my personal experiences, let’s have a look at that unbelievably corrupt organization, Hydro.
The current CEO at Hydro Quebec, Thierry Vandal, is making about $.5 million. That is proportional to all the other provinces except Ontario. BC’s CEO makes about $.4 million. Quebec Hydro is about the same size as Ontario’s electric system.
First Hydro One, as it is now called, that is only half of an electric system, the transmission part. FIGJAM, Mr. Tom Parkinson, was just one of a long list of criminals to be president of Hydro. The acronym, “FIGJAM”, was reported in all the papers; look it up. “Mr.” FIGJAM was paid $1.5 million. I could not find what his expense account was, but 10% of $1.5 million is $150,000. Apparently his expense account wasn’t enough regardless of the amount so he had to commit fraud for another $46,000. The “proletariat” would spend time in the gulag for doing that – but we are talking Hydro here – FIGJAM got another $3 million severance pay, (get this) after four years. (Do I hang with the wrong crowd??? I don’t know anyone that has gotten severance like that – even after 60 years.) That totals $9 million or $2.25 million per year.
Hey, we “ain’t” done yet. Ontario Power Generation’s, OPG’s, CEO, gets another $1.5. OPG generates only 70% of the power in this province. The CEO’s of The Independent Operator, example Bruce Power, make about $.8. (HAS YOUR ADDING MACHINE BLOWN UP YET?) The Power Authority!!!! I guess their job is to be “bureatical” – an’ we gotta pay those “beauriaticals” too, about $.7 million.
The figure that I got for all this was $5.25 million. Oh ya, that’s 10 1/2 times that of Thierry Vandal’s pay in Quebec. Oh, those dumb suckers that are paying “stranded debt”in Ontario!!!!!!!!!
Yes,”What am I complaining about with that ‘big Hydro pension’?”. In 43 years I worked about 20 at Hydro. Nepotism and Cronyism are institutionalized by that company. It, the lay-off, happened the first time in 1968. The union business manager listed the names of the people hired after me. Not one thing came of this.
I have taken many courses. I am to work on time, everyday and I do “more” than is required during the day. It’s a matter of self-respect. I have never been absent because of injury on any job in my life.
In 1998 I was stupid enough to spray Garlon 4 under tower lines to kill tree growth. In 1999 I had some material fall on my right hand. Both hands and my back swelled. My hands were measured for swelling while I was in therapy. I also had to have glasses four months after spraying that poison. I had to have cataracts removed. My back is currently full of arthritis. YES, I am in pain.
Hydro says Garlon 3A is bad for the eyes, but there is no mention of fish. Garlon 4 will kill fish, but there is no mention of the eyes. The “inactive” ingredient in both formulas, that takes up 40%, is kerosene – spray that on either fish or your eyes – if anyone should be so stupid!!!!! Hydro is still trying to get people in South Frontenac and Manitoulin to try a little of this. Some people have the guts to fight this.
From the site of the New York Attorney General was the report that Dow (you know Dow, makers of all that good “stuff”, Agent Orange, Agent Purple – and Garlon too.) came the report that they were fined $2 million for saying Garlon was 15 times safer than caffeine.
My doctor said, “Go home, you’re done.” Hydro said, ” No, we will put you on light duty.” Then they laid me off —–OF COURSE. I lost $125,000 in wages – that’s not even getting into all the other expenses.
There is no law in this province. The only thing that keeps me from suing them for a few million is this act.
I have 15 pounds of paper over 10 years and still it goes on.!!!!!!!! With no end in sight. I told the moderator at the tribunal that if I had the power I would put all white-collar criminals in the gulag. Didn’t say this, but, where there was a suicide due to depression there would be a hanging.
Randy, you do seem to be aware of what’s going on – now what is going to be done about it??? I wish you the best.
You have my permission to publish my e-mail; I want to contact anyone who will put out an effort to pull down WSIB.

Workplace accidents are directly attributable to unsafe working conditions. The effectiveness, or lack of same, of Ministry of Labour inspectors does not cause accidents. The workers killed on December 24th would be alive today if not for the wanton disregard and negligence of their employer. Any employer requiring work at heights knows what has to be done to prevent injury/fatality. If they don’t, they shouldn’t be in business.
Senate reform has to occur with the agreement and legal permission of the majority of the provinces if it is to be real . No one should agree with an unelected senate. However Mr. Harper needs to bring this issue before the provinces and finally bring some closure to issues around this unrepresentative body. Either that or advocate getting rid of it.
Dear Mr. Hillier
I was surprised at the least to see your view on the issues surrounding the WSIB and proud to see that someone in some form of authoritive power is doing something to make changes for the citizens on Ontario. I was injured back in 2003 while working for the County of Lanark, I was helping an elderly lady and prevented her from falling, needless to say I suffered an injury that would be permanent and causes chronic pain. I was granted full loss of earnings for a brief period only to be forced into a Labour market Re-Entry system which was not warrented for my recovery but only for me to “WORK AGAIN” and deemed to be competant and able to perform the job even though I did not complete my course but had it revoked. So my Loss of Earning was reduced to $4 a day and I was shafted out the door. I made several attempts to prove my condition, provided medical documents and professional opinions yet they were not even considered to be true according to the Board Doctor (who never saw me). I appealed every decision myself and lost every time. So here I sit anxiously awaiting a Tribunal to fight one last time for my rights. I am forced to retain council, aquire large amounts of financial burden which will follow me for life, and watch my quality of life slip away, while the WSIB waists time and money dragging their heels and fighting me every step of the way. They even have the right to deny medical coverage requested by doctors? They turn a blind eye and force people to give up. A stop must be made to their tactics, and their vindictive employees. I understand that there are people who mislead the board, however I am not them. To be honest with you, never in my wildest dreams would I ever have imagined that while working in a long term care facility, owned by the County, caring for elderly people, that if I got hurt in any way they would turn their back on me and allow for the abuse of the WSIB to settle the matter. I am in my 7th year of fighting, how many years will it take? How many years will I survive?
a civil law suit is a way i hope to go with the fraudulant wsib. Randy, Steven Mahoney of the wsib has a very unrealistic goal of eliminating all workplace injuries, illnesses and fatalities. He is not God, so how is he going to do this? These are not achievable goals. Who is paying his wages to come-up with such a lame goal. I am an injured worker who has not been paid all my entitlements and knowing this person is getting an extremely high wage to go all across the country to promote this zero accident…this makes me ill. Promote safty in a realistic way!
I guess if there are zero accidents, illness and fatalities, than wsib would not need to exsist.
Thank you for taking a stand against the HST. I cannot see how taking 8% more out of our pockets will help businesses. Most of us will simply spend 8% LESS…so much for supporting local businesses! For example, I can’t say “Oh, well, I’ll just have to pay more in order to be comfortable in my own home”. Instead, I will have to turn my thermostat down even further. I don’t believe all of the refund promises, either, and why would families be promised more than single people, anyway? My costs to heat or light my home are the same, whether I am alone or I have ten others in my home. This tax seems to hurt the consumer in every way, and that’s BAD for business!
Yes WSIB right, I have worked for 22 years with only one day of in that hole time! But because a 26 year old boy that thay sent me to said it was all in my head they cut me off.I finaly had an MRI and it shows that he was wrong but they still wont help, my case worker said how dont we no that you din’t fall at home! I have been hurt lots of times at work and just kept working because that was the way I was raised to be a strong and proud Canadian. But I gues you have to cheet the system all your life to no how to get help! it should not be this way! My grandfather who trained my father and many men to fight for our Country is probibly looking down wondering what he fought for!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards
Still injured with no HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I fail to see how this is going to create jobs….. HST is just another way for the government to raise havoc in families, there are enough people on the street as a result of government negligence, we are all affected by bad administrative government as it is especially in Ontario.
I am an immigrant I do not believe that Dalton McGuinty is representing Ontario in the best way he should, it is very disconcerting as I am from the United Kingdom, I have a massive Charter of Rights Case against the government and I cannot for the life of me, ‘GET A LAWYER THROUGH LEGAL AID COMPETENT ENOUGH OR THAT IS NOT BIASED TO TAKE THIS CASE. It involved discrimination, civil and human rights, social and economic rights I can be contacted by called 613 769 4674. My MPP refuses to look into past issues because the Provincial government were in fact going against the Principal of law when discriminating between immigrants, and the rich and the poor legal aid is useless, lawyers are corrupt, judicial system and government are in cahoots so do I feel safe living and residing in Canada…. the answer to that is NO!
I totally support yours and MPP Bill Murdoch’s stand on the HST. We are going through a recession. Hydro rates have gone up substantially in the past year and now this. Absolutely crazy to add more taxes on goods and services while a recession is going on and seniors are losing their pensions and savings due to lower interest rates on the investments. There are many who have lost their jobs in this country and who are having trouble feeding their families and putting a roof over their heads.
Keep up the good work!!!
Randy,
I have been your supporter since 2005, and admire your common-sense, no-nonsense approach to government and your concern for the welfare of the everyday, working class Canadian. I applaud your efforts re: the HST, and wish you every success. Please don’t give up!
Keep up the fight against the HST and get the Federal Conservatives to quit supporting this cash grab!
I agree with public hearings.
Don
Totally support your efforts to try and get the Liberals to hold meaning public hearing on the HST. Another example of the Liberals forcing through their agenda without allowing a meaning discussion. Do keep up the pressure.
Well done!
