Something to watch:

I have no opinion on it at the moment because I haven't done any more reading on the subject but maybe some of you have some insight.

I hope the campaign concintrates on the future.We are all well aware of the liberal scandles,the Concervitive Common Sense Revolution fiasco,and the NDP social debt riddled programes. I want to hear what they are going to do today and tomorrow. I want to know how they are going to create jobs without giving the big compneys massive tax holidays.The Libs gust tried to fool us by removing the debt reduction from our hydro bills saving us some money while at the same time removing the rebate meaning we will actually paying more. I want to know about putting shops and teck back in schools. I want to know how they are going to fund the apprentice rules and oppertunities they are talking about. Lots of questions not much time to get the answers. Forget the party vote the best candidate . Ed

        We ,in the Falls voted the best candidate when we elected Kim Craitor. He fought for our hospitals and race track and went against Dirty Dalton to represent us. He was eventually ignored out of parliment because he voted against party lines. he banged his head against the establishment wall for 7 + years to no avail. You either vote for the leader or your against him  and you may as well be opposition.

Sounds like a guy I would vote in again just to send a message to the leaders. Get a few of this type of guys in and the ballance of power changes quickly.Reward the ones who work for you because you never know what they have accomplished behind the scenes.Without this kind of guy nothing changes. Ed

So make sure the old boys club gets broken up. We are doing that in this area starting on the municipal level. Letting them know they are being watched closely. Ed

• Here is what the Liberals  have done for Ontario in the past decade.
  Remember...they had a no tax increase election message/campaign.
• They increased all the licensing fees from your car to your boat including fishing and hunting.
• They introduced the health care premium  (not called a tax) and some couples pay as much as $1,500.00 a year.
• They has put an ECO tax on many containers such as paint cans and window washer fluid, oil filters, air filters most and people still don’t realize it until they see the bill - they kept that one real quiet.
• they put a disposal tax on all electronics.
• They put the disposal tax back on tires.
• And now They 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.  they 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.
• Soon, July 15th, we will all have our S.M.A.R.T. Meters on which we will 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 McWynnes  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 they 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 they awarded to KOREA ?  One would think there was some place in Canada or North America that could have built these.
• They also closed the emergency rooms in Port Colburne 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 they then awards a hospital in Toronto three million dollars - of course, that was in the riding where there just happens to be a by-election to replace George Smitherman!
• They have taken the richest most prosperous province in Canada down to one of the 'Have-Nots' and, over the past six & one half years, have increased the budget deficit from $5.6 Billion dollars to TWENTY SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS and they are still in Power and still have a year and a half to go.
  And don’t forget the Premiers 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 MPP’S who also got a 14% increase? And now that they've had their increases they come out with a new budget to freeze all provincial employees wages for two years - a bit late don't you think.
• They increased the hydro tax by 10% in April of 2010.
• They has increased the tax on liquor and wine by 10% in May of 2010.
• They continue to permantently 'Blight' landscapes across the province with unsightly wind turbines.

 

I hope everybody remembers the way we got screwed by the Liberal party and - remember - not one Liberal MPP had enough guts to vote against any of the above.                

 

      Wake up Ontario ....!!  Vote PC

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

Chuk !! So I guess you're not voting Liberal then??

Well we know for sure what the Liberals will do..A kazillion more dollars of debt and scandals to come from the "green Energy Act" and you can bet the McWynne estimate to spend on Hi speed rail @ 29 billion will easily turn into $129,000,000,000,000, Cash cow... not counting the scandals and corruption to come..The Ont Liberal  pension Scam will just be another word for "revenue tools" That money wil go into general revenue to fund Toronto transit or more Green bull****..As a small business I will be forced into closing ..The Overhead is killing me..I will not be able to take that the summer student this year, Nor will I be able to have a College student work part time when going to school..I can not afford the payroll deductions..Hell the heat and hydro andcost for fuel to run a service truck is eating up all the funds..E-tests, sticker prices, college of trades tax..It has turned into a nightmare for a small business to operate in this province under the Liberals, costs  just keep going up , Insurance is insane..I just don'r have any more to give..In fact If the Liberals do get elected I will selling everthing and heading to either Sask,or Alberta to retire over the next couple years..I just can't afford to to continue to live in this province while the Liberals continue to piss my my HARD EARNED MONEY away on stupid  crooked schemes and fantasies lies and other bull**** schemes ..They have been the worst government in my memory..May they rot in hell..

I do NOT believe the Conservatives are pristine or the end to our struggles in this this province ..I honestly believe the Liberals should be held accountable for all the scandals,lying, and downright dishonesty,with lying about coverups and serious other issues ..They need to be fired...That is how we as voters show just how fed up with corruption and if the next government contines to be wasteful .does not listen to Ontarions.. They too woill and should be a one term government..Ontarians need to get off their lazy apathetic ass and show our displeasure with the only thing we have and that is your VOTE...To me the Liberals are just the worst choice on the ballet...

 

 

It makes me laugh, well cry actually, but if the Liberals get their made in Ontario Pension plan someone is going to retire very well off. I just won't be the folks who contributed to the scam, I mean plan.

I would like to see that SOB McThief in jail. He truly belongs there.

My thoughts exactly 

Dammut, do I have to pick the better useless idiot AGAIN!

In each of the last 3 elections the Conservatives had the election to lose. And each time it took one stupid badly timed comment to do it.

Unfortunately it looks as if history has once again repeated itself. With the "I am going to cut 100,000 jobs" does not matter if there is a valid reason for it, or that he had a plan. Simply stating I am cutting 100,000 jobs has lost a lot of people. HOPEFULLY it was early enough in the campaign that he gets a chance to explain the comment and overcome the slip.

I just hope that voters will be able to see past all the negative that will be spouted by the Libs and NDP with only that sound bite.

We are old enough Bob Rae and what he did nearly bankrupting the province. Remember the Cable bro, new jobs no jail time a reward from the liberals.

At 2 or three voters per household of those 100,000 public sector job cuts,that is a lot of votes he just threw away. Ed

The Conservatives seem to be an exact replica of the Republicans. You'd think they'd learn from others mistakes but they just keep making the same ones.

100,000 public sector job cuts,that is a lot of votes he just threw away. Ed

 

 

Yes but, if people would listen closely they would also have heard and known..He said that those job cuts would come from bloated Liberal  management positions and from attrition..The liberals have bloated the liberal government with a ton of committees over the last few , such the gang for the College or trades, and administering the e-test, and many other studies and committees that I do not even know about..We can not sustain those number of management jobs..That loss of over-paid management jobs I will be glad to save those wages  I can not take any more tax increase like the big spending plans of this crooked , government is planning should be the next government ...Pretty scary to think with all they have done to the people of this province that there is even a contest...I do not believe that the 416 Area  of GTA should have total say over the whole province..Ontario is much more than the 416 area...

    At least Hamilton has 10 top employers. In Niagara we have the tourist trade, minimum wagesand a large employer. The casino which pays a bit better but the number of employees has been cut because of government regulations and lack of patrons. Its easier to give the large employers who have left than the ones who are still here. Minimum jobs rule in Niagara.

Yep., the lovely Eleanor, i read that back awhile ago.

Pathetic, now here she is councilling people and giving them advice etc.

If you look at this chart and only focus on the groups he says he's going cut (provincial and territorial, vocational & trade and local general gov't) then he plans to cut the workforce in those areas by 20% at least.

I have a really hard time believing he can do this. And the severance packages will be crazy as well.

What he needs to do is detail exactly how he plans to make these cuts and also how he plans to create 1 million jobs. If he can do that he's a shoe in.

Unfortunately I think these are just campaign promises and he has no real plan to execute them. I hope he proves me wrong.

Bravo!! Well said.

Heard that the towntown T O voters are still saying that tha "DYKE" is terrific & doing a great job 7 they will vote LIBERAL!!!! WTF are they thinking or smoking!!!!

JUNE 12 PROVINCIAL VOTE

I think everyone should vote but if you don't think any of the parties are worthy of being in charge there is a solution. DON"T JUST SPOIL THE BALLOT or NOT VOTE. This comes right from the Canada Election Act. ...
from Services Ontario - Election Act R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER E.6
Declined ballot
53. An elector who has received a ballot and returns it to the deputy returning officer declining to vote, forfeits the right to vote and the deputy returning officer shall immediately write the word “declined” upon the back of the ballot and preserve it to be returned to the returning officer and shall cause an entry to be made in the poll record that the elector declined to vote. R.S.O. 1990, c. E.6, s. 53.
Refused ballots are recorded separately from all other ballots, and send a direct message to the government that you're not just apathetic or uninformed, you're not happy with the electoral system as it stands. The main disadvantage is that nobody, minus a handful of politics geeks, knows about the availability of this method. But now you do.
PLEASE if you are not going to vote for one of the parties running then DO THIS!!!!! You can do this provincially and municipally

I found this on one of the political site and found it interesting. This may be a way to send a message that they can't ignore. Ed

 Nothing against any politician, but what you're asking him to do, is to throw on a "smoke screen", so people will vote for him. Isn't that what good politicians do?

I really don't care what they look like.

Just for a change, I don't care what party they are from either...but just do, what you said you'd do, no excuses, no diversions, no lying, no BS, no...

Just do what you were elected to do, or get FIRED!

 Well, with all the money rolling in from the casino, why should they care about anything else?
