The Ontario PCs might have just deke Dalton before tonight’s big game.
The Progressive Conservatives are taking their election battle to what’s expected to be one of the highest rated TV events this year.
The Tories are launching an attack ad aimed at Premier Dalton McGuinty that will air tonight during Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.
The TV and radio ads portray McGuinty as the “taxman” — a politician who has raised taxes and will do so again if re-elected this fall.
The TV ad features an unflattering picture of McGuinty while an ominous voice warns viewers that the Liberal premier will hike taxes again.
The ad ends with more positive images of Conservative Leader Tim Hudak, promising to bring change to the province.

Going Green With Your Tax Dollars
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. -
The Ontario Liberals Emulate Eminem
Perhaps when you’re in the position of a two-term Liberal government style is the only thing you have left in the cupboard. I’d rather take the substance over style any day.
From National PostWell, it sure is a kissing cousin, ain’t it?” mused Michael Würstlin, partner at WÜRSTLINGROUP, an ad agency in Toronto in an email to the Post. “But here’s the copy I would have written: ‘So I ask you, what happens when an ad agency, working for a political organization, is inspired by the work of another ad agency, working for a car manufacturer, makes a pale imitation of the inspiring work. What happens when they use the same tone in music, the same copy structure, the same shooting style, but they do it with just a lot less, uh, money?’”
