Here is a column that doesn’t spare this Ontario liberal gov’t. The title speaks for itself. Liberals put liberals first. And indeed, Dalton McGuinty did. It’s only now that we’re hearing about these coal firing plants which got cancelled by the McGuinty government. There were so many asking for more information on these two closures but the government refused. So, what did he do? He prorogued government, called an election (thus it would shut down any hearings on the scandal, McGuinty would resign and the liberals would choose a new leader. Which would be Kathleen Wynne. I don’t think we should underestimate Kathleen and her knowledge of the Coal Firing Plants. She was part of that government from the beginning. And it leaves me to wonder how these liberals were re-elected. Enough said. I don’t think they will do it again in 2018. I think people want change. But I honestly thought they wanted it before in the last election.
“The power that must be protected at any and all costs, opponents must be hobbled by any and all means, and that serving party interests comes above all else, legal, ethical or otherwise.”
So that means certain people like David Livingston, Laura Miller and apparantly the guy she was seeing, and Peter Wallace all took part in destroying some documents, which would make it impossible to prove any wrongdoing in closing these plants. So if there was any evidence, it would have to be found by witness account, of people working directly with the closure. McGuinty and the liberals would just hold court while in Parliament. Saying none of it is true, it’s a bunch of lies by the Opposition, they can’t prove anything. And it’s true, they can’t. Because any documents have been destroyed.
And if that MPP from across the floor asking so many questions about the Gas Plant Scandal suddenly loses his seat, it suddenly easier to breathe in the legislature. The priorities change, there’s new issues to tackle, then you never hear about gas plants. This is what liberals do to keep power. They keep power and change leaders. Take a look at what’s going on.
David Livingston’s job was to protect the Premier and the liberal Government from Scandal. He destroyed secret and sensitive work related documents, he’d been warned to preserve. This info could have been used by adversaries (like the Opposition), to bring down the government and get thrown out of power. I can’t prove it but I do think Kathleen knew something about this. Why is people’s hydro bills so expensive. They are trying to keep power. Also, look at Paul Martin who said he knew nothing about the Sponsorship Scandal. Do you think for a minute or so that the former PM Jean Chretien knew nothing about little or no money being used in Quebec to keep the French Province in Canada? I don’t think so. But I liked him too. He was a cool PM. I like looking up to guys taller than myself. I don’t like Kathleen Wynne so much.
- There are teachers unions and a Government that pays money to the union so it can “afford” to pay during negotiations. Teachers unions are well the most wealthiest unions in the Country. They are invested in all kinds of Companies all over the World and is part owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Who is anyone trying to kid? They need expenses covered so they can pay for negotiations, for a new CBA? If a Conservative government were in power they would tell them to show up to bargain and pay for it yourself.
A Conservative Government can’t be shamed into covering expenses for any union. It’s taxpayers money. It would be like me asking my employer to pay for my expenses to get to work in my Rolls Royce everyday. Point being, that’s ridiculous.
- Hydro, is expensive for everyone. I personally pay for it in my rent. But it’s grossly inflated by government policies which subsidize hydro rates to keep the price of it down, until at least the end of the election, which is later this year (Thankfully). The price is being kept down by the government borrowing in new money which contributes to more debt, and so you should watch at the end of the election of the billions and billions of dollars the liberal government left for the Premier Elect and the new incoming Government.
- Probably Patrick Brown. But, this is contributing to more debt and when it comes time to account for these things, the minister of Finance finds a way to hide it and proclaim a balanced budget. You should note that these liberals just did a Cabinet shuffle in the last week. And Charles Sousa is the “new” Minister of Finance. Today, I heard him say on TV that he has a balanced budget. He said about 2 or 3 times. But when it comes time for a new Government and a new Finance Minister, what’s it going to be? A lot worse than what people imagined.
- Minimum Wage going up to $14 an hour. And, IF the liberals stay in power it will become $15/hour. That’s the liberals gearing up for a new election. This is not wrong in itself. But a smart voter will vote against any raise and realize it’s better to have a job than to be looking for one. That’s exactly what will happen. Less jobs, more unemployment.
But remember that these long in the tooth liberals are doing this and the other things to stay in power. Just like the last time. It’s time to end this mess. These lies, debt, this greediness, this liberal power, higher taxes, scandals, unemployment, false bookkeeping, wage increases. They only protect themselves, and the party at whatever the price is to the public.
