The Dalton McGuinty Legacy.....Pass It On

PLEASE READ, PASS ON AND REMEMBER NEXT ELECTION....
Here is what our Premier has done for Ontario in the past seven years.
Remember...he had a no tax increaseelection message/campaign.
He has increased all the licensing fees from your car to your boat including fishing and hunting.
He introduced the health care premium (not called a tax) and some couples pay as much as $1,500.00 a year.
He has put an ECO tax on many containers such as paint cans and window washer fluid. And people still don't realize it until they see the bill - he kept that one real quiet.
He put a disposal tax on all electronics..when you purchase new ones...so true..
He put the disposal tax back on tires.
And now he has passed the HST tax - the largest tax on the province ever and the only other tax in Ontario that ever came close to this in the past was the health care premium. He passed this bill even though 76% of the people in Ontario were against it.
This HST will provide the Province with an additional THREE BILLION dollars a year.
Then on July 15th, we all got our S.M.A.R.T. Meters on which we have to pay perpetual rent and will end up doing our laundry in the middle of the night. We are also going to pay big time for air conditioning from now on because when we need it the most it will be in the prime time of usage.
Let us not forget the E-health scandal with 1.2 billion dollars wasted and paid out to friends and relatives. What was Mr. McGuinty's answer to this? ?Well, if the people of Ontario don't like it, they can show it in the next election.? Nice attitude. This after he fired the CEO and then gave her a severance package of $300,000 - not bad for only being on the job for seven months.
And what about the SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS windmill power plant contract that he awarded to KOREA ? One would think there was some place in Canada orNorth America that could have built these.
He also closed the emergency rooms in Port Colbourne and Fort Erie because there is not enough money. There have been two deaths since then because by the time they got to St. Catharine's it was too late.
But he then awards a hospital in Torontothree million dollars - of course, that was in the riding where there just happens to be a by-election to replace George Smitherman!
He has taken the richest most prosperous province in Canada down to one of the 'Have-Nots' and, over the past six & one half years, has increased the budget deficit from $5.6 Billion dollars to TWENTY SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS and he still has a half to go.
And don’t forget his nice little salaryincrease of $40,000.00 a year - millions of people in the province don't earn even half of that.
Have we forgotten all the MP'S who also got a 14% increase? And now that they've had their increases he comes out with a new budget to freeze all provincial employees wages for two years - a bit late don't you think.
He increased the hydro tax by 10% in April of 2010.
He has increased the tax on liquor and wine by 10% in May of 2010.
Also, do not forget that Dalton wanted to built a 900MW Gas Fired power plant less than 1km from homes and schools inOakville. After wasting millions to try and push this through and blaming it all on his policy of defeating NIMBY attitudes, the power plant was suddenly cancelled. By a miracle yet to be properly explained,Ontario suddenly had an energy surplus and no longer needed the plant.


Dalton is a dolt and a fake and needs to go down heaped with shame for a job very badly done.





I hope this gets passed around the province ofOntario and everybody remembers the way we got screwed by Mr. McGuinty and the Liberal party and - remember - not one Liberal MPP had enough guts to vote against any of the above.


Wake up Ontario!!


And all pensioners got no raise at all over the past 18 months!!!!!


PS// He also is going to award companies $10,000.00 tax credits to hire immigrants..PLUS..consider the $30 million program to subsidize tuition for foreign students.

ps.ps. McGuinty tried to close the emergency room at the Ajax-Pickering hospital a few years ago, forcing residents to drive to Scarborough. The only thing that changed his mind was public backlash, which he construed as lost votes.

  1. You missed one, the tax increase that McLiar calls the smart meter sevice fee, coming in January.

  2. That probably explains why municipal utilities are listed as donors to the Ontario Liberal Party.

  3. I agree with everything except the Dalton pension plan. Harris cut Ontario MPP pensions during his first term. It was one of his promises -- which he kept!!!! So, he lost his riding, he would get the usual severance and an RRSF plan where $4000 goes in a year.

  4. You are right Sandy. Someone emailed that to me, I'm guessing not voting for McGuinty. I'll edit that part out.

    By the way, you and Joanne are doing a fantastic job with your blogs regarding the Ontario election. It's fantastic the wealth of information you have from your time in the Harris years.

    And Joanne's blog posts are always so well written and also full of great info and links.

    Conservative girls rock!!

  6. Looks like it's been going on for some years Jen, as McLiar promised a year ago to put a stop to it.

    Come to think of it, a year ago is right around the time the government allowed electricity suppliers to start adding the "delivery charge" on your bill.

  7. Wasn't Hydro's debt retirement charge paid off years ago yet it still appears on the bill?
