Obviously voting Conservative.
What the Liberals have done:
1) Broke their promise not to raise taxes by giving us the largest tax increase in Ontario history. Taxes revenues in Ontario have increased 30% in 4 years. Three times the rate of inflation. Oh yeah, and the health tax came into effect the same day that chiropratic procedures and eye exams were delisted!
2) City of Toronto Act. You can thank Mcguinty for the tax grabs that are about to happen at city hall. Not to mention the new taxes that city hall hasnt put forth yet. Oh yeah, and the sidewalk tax...Thanks Dalton! You're the best!
3) Caledonia: Who in their right mind would let 100s of people continuously break the law? Mcguinty thats who! Not only that, but he bought the land in dispute on top of everything! But hey, whats taxpayer money when youve just given ontarians that nifty health tax right?
4) Electricity Rates: He promised not to raise them, and he did the VERY NEXT DAY AFTER HE WAS ELECTED... need i say more?
5) Funding Scandal: $1 million to a cricket organization who didnt even ask for the money? Amongst others? Talk about dirty corruption! Why has everyone already forgotten about Ontario's Adscam?
6) Smoking Laws: A promise he actually did keep. I used to make a good living off the nightlife industry until this passed. Now there are fewer nights during the week that clubs are open, fewer special events, and less money going around. The good part at least is that it forced me to open a new business for myself.
What The Conservatives are promising:
Funding for religious schools: BAD IDEA... seriously it is... But I also believe that Catholic boards should cease to exist as well. Too bad about that pesky BNA act. Considering there are 650,000 kids in Catholic schools and this will apparently only add funding to 50,000 kids, im not that worried about it. What id like to see though is a change in the consitution so we can put an end to this nonsense. Harper, you listening?
Eliminating the Health Tax: We have a surplus which means they are overtaxing us. This health tax needs to go NOW!
Funding for Austistic Kids: I know a couple of them that are neglected past age 6. They definately need the $75 million Tory is promising.
Reduction in Business Taxes: Who employs Ontario? Mostly small and medium sized business. Give them a break and they will employ more. With the parity dollar, our inefficiency and over taxation is glaring. We need to compete with low taxation if we want to retain jobs and working capital in Canada. If you disagree, i suggest researching who Ireland became Europe's silicon valley.
Yes, The conservative platform isnt perfect... but i trust John Tory and i agree with a lot of what he has to say. Furthermore, Dalton's record speaks for itself. I almost choked on my breakfast the other morning when i read in the paper that Dalton promised yet again that "he wont raise taxes"
Oh and as for Mixed Member Proportional voting.... great idea if you want us to be one step closer to a maoist style parliament where the chairman decides who serves as representatives. NO THANKS! The voting system does need to change... BUT NOT LIKE THIS.
