  • Ontario PCs Will Cut Government Waste if Elected

    I am finally back from a long  hiatus from blogging with a new year brings new challenges and new opportunities. With that said I hope to roll out some additions to the blog in 2011. The first story on the docket for this year, is from last week when Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak promised one of his priorities if elected would be to cut government spending. This is a good straightforward pledge that will rally conservatives of all stripes in time for the election later this year. As well as show  Ontarians that are weary of the taxing and spending ways of the liberals that PC party is serious about restoring fiscal sanity to the province.

    From  National Post


    Since taking office in 2003, Premier Dalton McGuinty has been the very definition of a “tax-and-spend” Liberal, despite his initial promise to introduce no new taxes. Annual government spending has risen 68.5%, to $125.6-billion, while net debt has grown 51% to $219.5-billion, or $16,612 for every Ontarian. Yet even with all its bloated spending, Ontario lags other provinces in per-capita nurses, doctors, teachers and long-term beds.


  • Merry Christmas

    I wish everyone at Blogging Tories a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2011 . On another note Posting at Tory Redux will significantly slowdown until the new year.

  • A Festive Fantasy Interview with Premier McGuinty

    Here is a mock interview with Dalton McGuinty to get the reader in a festive frame of mind.

    From Christina Blizzard

    PD: What do you mean the HST? How was that a highlight? Terri hated the HST. Every time she went to the hairdresser or the manicurist she got dinged another 8%.


    I’ve been on the naughty list since July 1 for that one.


    CB: Tell us about the G20. Whatever possessed you to pass that secret law, Premier Dad?


    PD: Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad. It’s not like we’d doubled your hydro bill over five years or snuck through outrageous eco fees on everything.


    Now THAT would be worth taking to the streets about.


    Besides, what’s the point of having civil rights in this country if the government doesn’t come in every now and then and arbitrarily impose martial law?


    We need to crack a few heads to let those left-wing kooks know who’s the boss.


    (At this point, the aide lunges at Premier Dad, tackling him to the plush broadloom).


    A trickle of eggnog dribbles down Premier Dad’s chin as the aide vainly tries to gag him with a handful of candy canes and a glow in-the-dark Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.


    Next year, Premier Scrooge, when it comes to year-enders, I have seven letters for you: SUN NEWS.
