Waiting For The Other Shoe To Fall

As a fiscal conservative I become apprehensive when anyone tells me there is no downside to a proposal. I am waiting with baited breath to see the details of John Tory's platform.

John Tory pledges gain with no pain
June 12, 2007

Ontario Conservative Leader John Tory promises that if elected on Oct. 10, he will boost health-care spending, recruit more family doctors, fund faith-based schools and raise spending on public education, increase payments to farmers, fix northern bridges and rural roads, expand GO Transit, boost funding for the arts, clean up coal-fired plants. All this and much, much more.

And he will do all that while at the same time cutting the $2.6 billion health tax introduced three years ago by the Liberal government.

Impossible, some might say. But not according to Tory, who claims his government would pay for it all by being "careful" with taxpayers' money and finding $1.5 billion in "efficiencies."

Essentially, he is promising voters plenty of gain with no pain.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
