Zach LarkinsYOU ARE NOT ALONE
I have read a great deal lately about how our American neighbours are getting screwed by the Democrats. Like our Liberals, the Democrats want to throw enough money at a problem in the hopes that it will just go away. This doesn't work and never has. Our minority Conservative government has done more in one year than the previous Liberal government did in 13.
Just so the Americans don't feel too bad, the following is an article by Linda Leatherdale of the Toronto Sun. I know Ontarians are outraged at the present provincial government and look forward to a return of sanity by electing Conservatives. Of course, this being provincial politics, it pales in comparison to what the Fed's do, but it is a good indication.
Cheer up America. You are not alone in your outrage.

Convincing voters that we're getting screwed by wasted Liberal spending will be an easy sell, once you read the Waste Busters' report. Here's the disturbing list:
- $2 million spent on new furniture for McGuinty's new health care bureaucracy, which created 14 local health integration networks (LHINs) to take over the job of allocating the $33-billion health-care budget. - $70,000 spent for a flyer that says "Toronto Central LHIN is good for your health." - $2 million spent on an inaccurate health-care advertisement that proclaims wait times and doctor shortages are behind us. "I wonder how the 1.2 million Ontarians without a family doctor feel about this?" Tory asked. (John Tory is the head of the provincial Tory party) - $91 million spent to fire nurses when Ontario was suffering from a nursing shortage. - $90 million spent to close or consolidate community-care access centres. - $219,000 spent to redesign the Ontario Trillium logo. - $20 million spent to quietly give raises to appointees to government agencies and boards.
- $40 million on Caledonia. - $6 million to overhaul the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. logo, by removing the "C" from OLGC. - $16 million spent on McGuinty's "I won't raise your taxes" Liberal ad agency.
You have to give McGuinty his due though. He still shows his bare naked face in public and thinks what he is doing is right. He doesn't seem to know he's a pathological liar and feels strongly he will get re-elected.
Fat chance.
