...now?
As a poor people I sure the f*ck hope not but if one is to believe economist Don Drummond, as referenced in the current Ottawa Sun, "The Mike Harris cuts will look like a blip in time compared to the long-term pain the province is in for, economist Don Drummond says in his hotly anticipated report on reforming Ontario’s public services."
Thank goodness that the people of Ontario were intelligent enough to keep Dalton McGuinty and his team in power at Queen's Park. Although the rants to talk radio, what little there is in Ontario, and the letters to the editor and comments attached to articles in rags like the Sun, the fact is Mr. McGuinty had to clean up the mess that Mike Harris created in the '90s and will continue to guide Ontario upwards and onwards.
The basic thesis of Mr. Drummond's message is to cut back but as I see it the cut backs will be on those who cannot defend themselves: children, the sick, the needy.
