The Star Editorial Board will likely again (and again) be endorsing Kathleen Wynne and these liberals in the upcoming June 7/18 Provincial. At least that’s what history teaches us and it’s what the Comment Section of their newspaper seemed to say today. Of course they hate Doug Ford. They gave marks to NDP Leader Andrea Horwath. And before I go further you should know the latest polls show the Progressive Conservatives with a big Lead in pretty much every part of Ontario. In just about every category, including leadership. Andrea Horvath is as popular as Kathleen Wynne. Doug Ford is more popular than both these ladies. Put it simply, your days are numbered Kathleen as Premier of this Province.
Let’s remember that there’s a budget coming next week. In it, the liberals may try something like shifting in that $15 dollars an hour minimum wage just in case they lose in June and to see if Doug has the gall and the courage to reverse it after the election is over. They will have a lot to lose though. It’ll prove they were willing to do anything to keep power. They had a throne speech. A day later she made another announcement about spending, this one on the deductible on prescription drugs. This, will no doubt make the Budget on March 27th. The Opposition, and anyone else listening thought the Throne Speech was inserted so the liberals could change some things at the last second, a couple of new goodies to be added to the budget. A throne Speech dictates what the government will do over the next year or two. So this is being done because of political reasons. They’re trying to save their necks from voters wrath. Read the Commentary and you hear nothing of the sort by this newspaper. Let’s not mention that this is political and that the liberals are only doing this to stay in power. They suggest that the Dental care was first Long Overdue, and second that Doug Ford should be supporting it. Really?
The Star seems to think that if we have a Health-Care system that covers the whole body, but finds it bizarre that it excludes the mouth and teeth. But let’s get this straight, Healthcare costs a lot of money doesn’t it. I heard that when Mike Harris was Premier that this Province Government was paying, get this, Over $1 million dollars an hour to fund the healthcare system in Ontario. The Star thinks we should be adding more for dental care? Higher taxes for our healthcare system? We should note that the Star acts like a tax and spend government. And that government should be there for people. Not Conservatives who want to scrap the cap-and-trade system, want smaller government and lower taxes. They’ll also produce balanced budgets and lower debt. Not like liberals. In fact, Justin Trudeau said before being elected that he would run a deficit. He held true to his word and even added more debt to his Government.
Doug Ford. The Star says, “He has the least to say about what they would do if they actually win on June 7th.” He has five simple points to voters.
1 lower hospital wait times, 2 cut hydro rates, 3 smaller government, 4 end cap-and-trade system, 5 reform sex-education in schools. Also, He’ll save $6 billion a year in costs through efficiencies and not lay off anyone. Well, if you’re planning smaller government than you must mean layoffs.
And the Star Editorial Board (SEB) say they don’t like it. They say his plan doesn’t add up. But when did 15 years of power, $billions$ of dollars in debt, An upcoming Budget with a DEFICIT Add up? Support even an ounce of liberal. They say the PC’s owe it to voters what they intend to do once in office which they call “A governmental miracle.” So, if according to the Star Editorial Board (SEB), they say they OWE it to taxpayers, does it mean they don’t deserve to be in power? Kathleen Wynne should be re-elected again. It’s time you people start seeing a liberal for who he/she is. A politician who won’t tell the truth. Who will say anything to get into power. Governments will run deficits, they will even campaign on these things. Newspapers do more harm by printing lies, to it’s readers, and I think anyone reading shouldn’t buy it, if it won’t tell the truth. Because, The Truth Matters.
The Star is actually holding Conservatives to a HIGHER standard than liberals.
That not fair, it’s not telling the truth, it’s like taking the same side all the time regardless of the circumstances. Why can’t they just support Right from Wrong. There was a time when the Star was profitable because of advertising. There was tons of it. And people were buying it. Not now though. I’ve heard they’re getting help from the Federal Government. I’d have to say they should stop supporting The Star. They don’t deserve it.
