Looks aside , can you imagine Horvath at the helm with a majority, !shudders!She is no longer the ugliest woman in the race though.
Quantitative easing is a whole other ball of wax than just blowing money on programs and social issues not actually aimed at keeping the economy from free fall.In this thread we find out Harper is allowed deficit spending but no one else is.
Even when Harper did it. Don't fergit that the Libs and NDP wanted him to spend more.In this thread we find out that deficit spending is inherently evil.
Except when Harper did it.
They never work together to do what is best.I hope it would force them to work together to do what is best for the province/country rather than the party.
They never work together to do what is best.
The opposition lives for the others' failure. When the government fails the opposition gloats.
All oppositions.
Do you think by posting that that I actually support this paradigm.Don't be a pesimest. The object is to change the system to make it work for us, not them.

Look to the south of us and the deep divide and living hatred the two parties have developed in their supporters .
The parties get together after the election in the States and ask the people to get along, after they inflame them with billions of dollars spent on attack ads for years.
It has nothing to do with pessimism .
It's reality.
Accepting is the same as supporting. I am looking for ways to fix the system. Of course I have been somewhat of a rebel my entire life.
is me supporting the present state of affairs.Do you think by posting that that I actually support this paradigm.

There is no one in that provincial party even with a semblance of fiscal responsibility.
And!!!!!
The fact she snubbed the grand daddy of all NDP esque budgets shows she is self serving and not the socialist worry monger she would have people believe.
Serioulsy , she would never have had the kahhunnas to even sugest that sort of budget for the people she so defends and supposedly works for.
If anything Wynne showed her for what she is. A gift that should keep on giving through out the campaign. Wynne will work it into her speeches and debates.
You sound very conservative grump why do you hate them so much ?Voter and party focus on debt is in some ways the wrong way to view it.
Debt for the hell of it is not in anyone's interest however debt for the
means of investment in things that will benefit society is a good thing but
it has to be managed debt and that is where governments go wrong.
Ontario has to get control of its current debt situation. The Province was
once the powerhouse of industry and the world changed, the Province did
not. They waited for the industry to come back. Wrong move they should
have been working on the assets of a trained workforce and invested in
new industry and a new revitalized training of its workforce to meet the demand.
Instead across the country we burden young people with debt beyond their
ability to get ahead and they train them in the same old way for jobs that may
or may not exist in ten or twenty years.
We have to go to the drawing board and discover who we are and what our
role will be in an international workforce
From there we the people provide the education and training and through a
supervised apprenticeship we would get some of the training value back by having
the graduates do contract work for government to revamp of infrastructure and so
on. The rest of our financial return would come from a productive and trained work
force paying taxes to support what we are doing growing the economy
In the beginning it would cost more but this type of investment would cost a lot less
in the long run and the next generation would not be burdened by direct debt.
As for the election? It is a tossup I just hope the Tories don't get in.
I
As for Tory, you got that nailed.As to what Lothian said about John Tory. He would have been a good Premier, had he not allowed himself to framed up in that religious school malarky. The death knell sounded on his campaign after the Left and the Catholic School Lobby which is a pretty strong group boxed him in. BTW, I think Tory did himself in by not reversing his position until it was too late.
Ontario needs change, even if it is for one term to shake out this arrogant, corrupt, narcissistic, party. Ontario needs a reset, but I wouldn't be laying any bets at this point.
As for Tory, you got that nailed.
I just think he wants in as an elected official so bad it is laughable. It's like a carrot dangling in front of him but as luck will have it.
Ontario needs change indeed , and methinks this one term option you are referring to is a NDP term.
