Pain for all.
In a lot of respects Premier Dalton McGuinty is the anti-Bob Rae.
Here is what I mean. Premier McGuinty was captain of Ontario when we got in this mess and he is the man who is going to get us out of said mess. Bob Rae got Ontario in a bit of a kerfuffle but wasn't given the to right the ship. Instead Ontario voters mistakenly turned to golf pro Mike Harris and his Common [Non] Sense Revolution which totally f'd up Ontario.
Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. With that in mind the voters of Ontario were savvy enough to return Premier McGuinty to the Pink Palace; Tim Hudak would have made Mike Harris look like an economic genius.

Hudak would have continued the reduction of corporate taxes and made up for the lost revenue by cutting more healthcare and education. He also would have happily spent the money for Harper's jails while having to make up for those expenses somewhere else. No, McGuinty might not be perfect but so glad it is him than Hudak.
ReplyDeleteAnd talking about Rae's Ontario deficit. It happened during recessionary times. The Common Nonsense revolution with Deficit Jim left Ontario with a deficit of $6B after having claimed that he had balanced the budget. And it happened during boom economic times.
And then there is the matter of the $30B Ontario Hydro debt that Harris/Eve and their junior minister named Hudak had transferred to Mr. and Mrs. Ontario from hydro ratepayers. No, don't get me started on Hudak and the Common Nonsense revolutionaries Mike, Ernie, Jim and Tim.
