It Is McGuinty, Not Harris
I couldn’t have said it better myself. The scarce commentary of Claire Hoy is right on the mark on this occasion. He clearly outlines why Ontarians should have misgivings about reelecting the Ontario Liberals and Dalton McGuinty.
From Claire Hoy
It was McGuinty, not Harris, who made a stage show during his first successful campaign by publicly signing a document promising not to raise taxes, only to impose his health tax, one of the largest single tax hits in Ontario history.
It was McGuinty, not Harris, who tried to sneak the ill-fated Eco Tax through without any public knowledge or consultation, only to retreat in the face of widespread public anger.
It was McGuinty, not Harris, who forced the hated HST upon us, without the courtesy of mentioning the tax in his last campaign.
It is McGuinty, not Harris, who has spent like the proverbial drunken sailor while in office, wracking up a horrible $20-billion deficit and nearly doubling the provincial debt to $220 billion.
It was McGuinty – aided by current Toronto mayoralty hopeful George Smitherman – who wasted $1 billion in the E-Health scandal.
And for all the attacks against Harris by McGuinty over his mishandling of the Ipperwash disaster, it is McGuinty who has overseen the ongoing shame of Caledonia.
It is McGuinty, not Harris, (and again aided by Smitherman), who is responsible for Ontario hydro rates continuing to go through the stratosphere thanks largely to his ill-considered plans to spend billions backing his highly questionable – and outrageously expensive – Green Energy policy.
Andrew Lawton On Mark Steyn Controversy
Today Andrew from Strictly Right was on the Jerry Agar show and talked about the percolating Mark Steyn controversy in London.
Here’s the audio from the interview.
Don’t forget to visit Jerry’s website and tune in to the Michael Coren show tonight Andrew will be one of the guests and I’m sure this subject will be covered.
McGuinty Running Out of Time
Dalton McGuinty is a third of the three amigos slowly running out of time and the public’s patience.

In Ontario, even the Liberal Party’s Toronto Star is working up polls to show Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty has exhausted his welcome. Three-quarters of voters want to see the back of him. The Conservatives, under Tim Hudak, have 41% of support against 29% for McGuinty. You have to appreciate what this means: The Toronto Star thinks former Premier Mike Harris is the spawn of Satan, and Tim Hudak is his darkest disciple, yet they’re running polls showing Hudak could whip McGuinty — a Liberal ! — with ease. It’s blasphemy.
Ontario Liberals Learn Dirty Tricks at AGM
The battle lines have been drawn in the long slow march towards the 2011 provincial election has begun. The Ontario Liberals are holding their annual general meeting where the party is being enlightened on the art of demonetisation and dirty politics.
The Liberals will also hear from Rahaf Harfoush, a member of U.S. President Barack Obama’s campaign team and author of Yes We Did: An Insider’s Look at How Social Media Built the Obama Brand, and from Kerwin Swint, author of Mudslingers: The 25 Dirties Political Campaigns of All Time.
The upcoming provincial campaign will be one of the most dirty and personal in recent memory. The Liberals need a Hope and a prayer but what is clear right now is that Ontarians definitely want change.
