Originally posted by Dj Smitty20 The Federal Government INCREASED healthcare funding by 20 billion dollars since their second term in 1997 The Tories also legislated a 60 hour work week and totally fucked the Secondary school system with the elimination of OAC! Do you agree with that? Do you not have a social conscience? Would you rather save a few hundred dollars on your tax return and sacrifice our social programs? If so, I think you should move to the US!

well, first of all the liberal government cut that funding in then reinstated it. so in actuality, the '20 billion' in healthcare is actually just reinstating the cut to early 90's spending levels.

elimination of OAC isn't a big boohoo! c'mon man, we are the only province in north america that has a 'grade 13', and quite frankly we don't need it! hence, ontario academic credit.

lastly, tuition increases, i go to university as well and i do feel the pinch. sometimes i wish the government put more social spending (provicial) in their agenda so they'd keep those tuition fees (at least) frozen for a few years.

so therefore, i don't condone what the provicial government is doing, but the feds aren't angels either. btw, NDP is crap and you know it...if we are slaves to the global economy how are these left-center socialists gonna keep big business in ontario? all i am saying is, the reason tax cuts are so popular is because neocon's like to keep big business happy, and thus they keep more money and less trickles to you...however, they do employ you as well

If you don't vote, then what right do you have to bitch about the government? This not only applies to you, but to every Canadian who bitches politics. Only 67% of Canadians turned out to vote in 2000 but 100% of Canadians bitch about SOMETHING government oriented.
