After eight years of broken promises, billions of dollars wasted on E-health and wind turbine fiascos, sky-rocketing hydro bills, 289,000 lost jobs in the manufacturing industry, long health-care wait lists, government mismanagement, turning Ontario into a nanny state, and screwing up all over the place, Dalton McGuinty thinks we need his kind of experience and should re-elect him! And all that after turning us from a “have” into a “have-not” Province.

After promising he wouldn’t raise taxes, then raising them more than anyone else ever did, Dalton McGuinty’s LHINs cut jobs in the health care industry despite an 80% increase in government spending and wait times for health care are still much too long. And while many voters don’t really care how he has chased many businesses out of the Province or ruined them with high taxes and ridiculous regulations and fees, we need prosperous businesses to create jobs. McGuinty should have treated businesses like friends to make them stay and prosper instead of picking their pockets and following an anti-business strategy that ruined thousands of businesses and with them hundreds of thousands of jobs.

In 2006 when he finally realized that he could no longer raise taxes, his government passed a strengthened City of Toronto Act, granting his pal David Miller new taxing and executive powers that resulted in the dreaded land transfer tax and the now abolished car licence fee.

According to the Globe and Mail, the combined activities of the Dalton McGuinty and the David Miller government, effectively chased the middle class right out of Toronto!

And with fewer businesses there would be fewer jobs and fewer taxpayers to pay the exorbitant government salaries that grew by leaps and bounds under the McGuinty rule.

Your worst enemy is a government that constantly tells you how much they’ve done to help businesses, when they were doing exactly the opposite.

McGuinty’s government got away with many things because you and I are too busy to write to them to complain. Or you think it won’t do any good anyway. Worse, many people, especially newcomers opening a new business are frequently afraid of the government. Don’t be! In Canada anyone is free to write to any level of government without repercussions as long as you don’t threaten them. And while there are certain governments who will ignore you, persistence can pay off if you write to different members of a government or to different levels of government where jurisdictions may overlap.

Once upon a time, we used to have a prosperous country – Let us vote for Tim Hudak and Conservative MPP’s to bring it back

Years ago, we had many great Restaurants with nightly or weekend entertainment. When higher taxes and the introduction of the GST arrived (that one no fault of the Provincial Government), entertainment disappeared almost overnight, because restaurants didn’t make enough profits to pay entertainers and the GST on their services. Today you will still be hard pressed to find good restaurants in many parts of the city. (When it gets too difficult to make a profit, money goes elsewhere) And McGuinty’s raising of the minimum wage again made things especially hard on restaurants. And how does the City plan to attract tourists with a lack of good restaurants and with horrendous gridlock all over the city? This will never change if we don’t let them know that what businesses need and ask them for change. The Miller government was either deaf or just too ignorant to return letters, e-mails or phone calls, and thankfully got turfed out of office. It’s time to turf out McGuinty, too. On October 6, do not vote for McGuinty.
