First the Winners -
- End the Green Energy Scam
- Cut Provincial Income Tax by 5%
- Allow for Spousal Income Splitting
- Corporate Tax Cut 1.5%
- Remove HST from Heating Oil and Electricity
- End Time of Use Electricity Pricing
- Reduce Public Sector Wages
- More Funding for Education
- Provide Teachers with more Class Room Flexibility e.g. allow to Fail
- Scrap $30 million in annual Foreign Student Funding and direct that $ to Ontario Students
- Increase Health Funding (if $ was the key factor in Health Care - Ontario would have one of the best systems in the world. The fact is - we don't. We need to move to a partnership between private and public health care delivery and save $ in the process.)
- Close the remaining Coal Fire Generating Plants (these plants should remain open until Ontario has a secure and financially viable alternative system(s). Plus new technology has rendered Coal Plants much cleaner - they no longer are to be feared).
The In-betweens -
- Welfare Recipients need to establish 1 year residency before collecting welfare (what are they expected to do in the interim - rob banks?)
- Lifetime Ban on worst repeaters of welfare fraud (seems harsh)
- The Mandatory Chain Gang (should be made voluntary - you would still have lots of inmates coming forward and time on the line should be compensated with time off from their initial sentence).
Missing -
- Amend the HST so that it applies only to those items taxed by the PST and/or GST prior to their merger (e.g. in some cases items are now subject to the combined tax that previously were subject to only 1).
- Eliminate Ontario's Human Rights Commission
- Reduce Provincial Taxes on Gasoline
- Reign in the Ministry of the Environment
By in Large, I support Their Plan - but you can expect Liberals to come out and be highly critical of the Tory Plan by way of mean spirited Negative Ads.
When watching / listening to those ads simply keep in mind the following:
1. For the First Time, Ontario has descended into Have Not Status
2. Hydro Rates have doubled and tripled and are projected to double and triple again under Liberal Rule
3. Green Energy has been a fiasco
4. Health Care continues to deteriorate
5. E-health - a billion here and billion there
6. Students Rule the Classroom
7. Unions Rule the Public Service - wage increases far and exceed those in the private sector
8. The List Goes On and On...
As I see it...
