Harris backed early learning, expert says

Dalton McGuinty may be casting himself as the champion of all-day kindergarten, but apparently he wasn’t the first Ontario premier who was keen on early learning. 9 September 05:11 

...during the Harris era the government ran the education system unlike the current government where the teacher;s unions have been allowed to hijack the system as payment for not embarassing the liberals through walkouts, marches, etc.

Don't look at me...

...I didn't vote for him...Faced with a $19.3-billion deficit of his own making, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has now decided that everyone in the province has to pitch in to pay it back.Ontario voters have seen this movie before. In 1990, they elected the province’s first (and only) NDP government, under premier Bob Rae. Faced with a recession, Mr. Rae attempted to spend the province bac...

...and let's not forget it took Harris to bring the province back from the brink of bankruptcy.

 

Another Failure, Another Promise...

 

More gain for those in pain?

A wasteful $150-million worker retraining program has been scrapped and replaced by a streamlined system provincial officials say will protect vulnerable workers and save money. 2 July 00:58

I Don't Disagree But...

...I wonder how many people will be refusing, returning, giving to charitable organizations, etc. the bribes being sent to taxpayers?

Tasha Kheiriddin: Ontario whimpers as B.C. spurns HST

On July 1, Ontario residents will begin paying the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).  The tax will increase the cost of a host of goods and services, including such diverse items as haircuts, coffee, shoes, funerals, heating bills and real estate commissions.  This week the provincial Liberal government admitted that the HST will cost taxpayers far more than the government originally predicted – up to $480 per family a year.  And while taxpayers fume, reviews from the business community, whom the HST is purported to help, are mixed.
Yet the Conservative opposition is playing coy.  Apart from railing against the cost to taxpayers and complaining that provincial rebate cheques are attempts to bribe the public with their own money, leader Tim Hudak has yet to make any pledge to reverse the HST once it is in place.  This leaves frustrated taxpayers with few options to fight back, such as letters to the editor and an online petition (whose traffic seems to have exceeded its bandwidth, giving a sense of how many people are upset about the new tax).

The Working Families Coalition claims it’s not political, but that doesn’t square with reality

Voluntering Is Very Noble BUT...

The farce is we picked the wrong target at the TTC: 

By ROB GRANATSTEIN, Toronto Sun

In my view, the rocket we launched at the TTC on Thursday’s front page (“TTC Farce: Customer service guru babysat by transit flaks, drives convertible to work”), which continued inside the paper, was misguided and bombed the wrong target.

Ontario commits to Toronto's Transit City - in 10 years, rather than 8

Bad ideas never die. They exist quietly below the level of public consciousness and then pop up again at the most inappropriate times.
