Richmond Hill Liberal, Nov 2, 2013 By Shari Allen I find it ironic that Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government announced last week it is spending $5.5 million to prevent cruelty to animals, when her term will likely go down in history as the government that unconscionably allowed untold cruelty to humans, under the leadership of…
