  • It’s Election Time in Ontario

    Today, the Ontario PCs officially launched their campaign by unveiling their Big Blue bus of change. As the Liberals were busy lampooning a photograph Tim Hudak and the conservatives were focused squarely on families.

    “I’m proud of my beautiful little girl, my beautiful caring wife. And you know what this campaign is going to be about? It’s going to be about families; average hardworking families who are paying more and more in taxes, they’re getting less in return and they’re worried about the future of their kids and their grandkids.”
    Leader of the OntarioPC Party Tim Hudak

    The campaign to change Ontariois underway here are a couple things to keep in mind.  Will economic stewardship, and the economy become top-of- mind issues for Ontarians. As well, who will win the hearts and more importantly votes of “Ontario families”. I guess only time will tell.

     

  • The latest Projection in Ontario

    This result is encouraging, but we still have a whole election yet to wage.

    From Global News

    Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservative party could be heading for a minority victory in Ontario’s October election, according to the latest seat projection from the Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy.

    The projection has the Progressive Conservatives winning 51 seats, the Liberals winning 41 and the NDP winning 15, according to Barry Kay, associate professor of political science at Wilfrid Laurier University.

    The winds of change could sweep the OntarioPC Party into power.

  • McGuinty is Spending Too Much

    The spending spree of the Ontario Liberals can’t be sustained. In a short eight years, Ontario has doubled its debt under McGuinty. Imagine what he will do with another four years.

    From  Toronto Sun
    Lest we forget, since McGuinty came to power in 2003, the Liberals have doubled the provincial debt.

    The total debt in 2003 was $148 billion. By 2012, it will hit $283 billion, $303 billion by 2013.

    This province’s other 23 premiers over 136 years, “only” racked up $148 billion in debt.

    The legacy of the Liberals will be one of leaving our children with skyrocketing debt in a time of austerity. It is incumbent upon every Ontario PC supporter to make this fact plane before election day.

    Reasonable comments are always welcome.
