The gas plant fiasco was on everyone's mind, right off the heels of the Ornge debacle Ontario voted. I woke the next day to discover not only did Ms. Wynne and her friends were re-elected they were given a majority. Just like out here in Haldimand county whomever Caledonia votes for mayor is the mayor we all get. It's just about numbers, they have more citizens than the rest of the county put together. So how Toronto votes is which party is elected. Less ridings in big cities is the answer to our parliamentary systems flaws here in Ontario. I'm sure it's the same in other provinces.

 

I was reading a while back an article from a political pundit in the US. He was basically saying who says it is bad business to run a deficit in politics. Bill Clinton balanced the budget for the first time in a century, so what, the next POTUS put them right back into debt.

 

Everyone wants services increased without tax increases and user fee increases, how would that work exactly? Marvin Ryder from Macs business school says selling off provincially owned businesses isn't really a bad thing. Why should a government be in private sector businesses in the first place? Their mandate is to run the business of government, enacting laws, providing infrastructure and basic social services in order to enhance the quality of life of the citizens that they govern for. Not selling liquor and wine.

 

I did not vote Liberal because I knew Torontonians would and the Liberal candidate here was not the person I wanted in TO.
