Premier Dalton McGuinty seems to have blind faith in subsidizing expensive green energy projects with Ontarians , cold hard cash.


The cost per kilowatt hour of the electricity McGuinty is trying to replace is less than 4¢.


Wind power costs as much as 20¢ and solar can be as high as 80¢.


Madrid’s Universidad Rey Juan Carlos did a study examining the economic and employment effects of Spain’s aggressive green experiment.


• Since 2000, Spain has spent 571,138 euros ($803,050 Cdn) on each green job, including subsidies of more than one million euros ($1,406,054 Cdn) per job in the wind industry.


• These programs destroyed nearly 110,500 jobs elsewhere in the economy (2.2 jobs destroyed for every green job created).


• Each “green” megawatt installed destroyed 5.28 jobs elsewhere in the economy, on average.


Green projects and green jobs are so inefficient, they cannot make it in the competitive market and must be heavily subsidized.


That wasted money could have gone to pay for more jobs elsewhere. 


Moreover, if the Liberals are reelected this October. You can expect even more lavish spending on projects of the green  variety. All this economic intervention adds up to Ontario being less competitive in four years not more. In contrast, the Ontario PCs have committed to getting out of the business of subsidizing corporations, as well as abolishing the eco-tax. Here’s hoping the winds of change will blowoutMcGuinty this fall.

This video  commemorates the historic victory of Stephen Harper and the Conservatives attaining their first majority mandate since 1988. Such a victory would not be possible without tireless work from the grassroots from coast-to-coast.

Today Dr. Stewart Kennedy issued a statement on the half of the Ontario Medical Association. Commending the Ontario PCs and Tim Hudak   for adopting some of the Association’s recommendations and making them a key component in the upcoming platform.


Ontario’s doctors were pleased to learn that the Ontario PC Party has included several health care policy initiatives in their election platform as recommended by the Ontario Medical Association.  In January, Ontario’s doctors released, ‘Better care. Healthier patients. A stronger Ontario.’ and called for increasing long-term care capacity and investments into home support services, which were announced today by Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak as key planks of their health care platform.


Ontario’s doctors are especially pleased with the commitment to increase the number of residency positions for Ontario students who have received their medical training abroad and want to come home to practice.  Ensuring every person has access to a physician has been a top priority for Ontario’s doctors and this policy initiative is another good step towards achieving that objective.
