EDITORIAL: Is Dalton stashing our cash?

Wait a minute. Wasn't the province of Ontario drowning in a sea of red ink just two years ago, according to Premier Dalton McGuinty?

Didn't he and then finance minister Greg Sorbara tell us back then that the previous Conservative government left taxpayers facing a deficit of at least $5.6 billion after eight years of spendthrift rule?

And yet, miraculously, the Liberals today seem to be swimming in money. Our money.

A government source told the Star last week the Liberals will be hard-pressed to show they're running a deficit in their March 23 budget, which is why they're ready to announce such megaprojects as a $1.5-billion expansion of the Spadina subway line.

Meanwhile, the Liberals boasted last week about their $6-billion investment (over five years) in post-secondary education -- in the middle of a teachers' strike at the province's community colleges and at the same time as they announced tuition hikes for college and university students this fall.

Over at City Hall, Toronto politicians were happily suggesting a last-minute bailout by the province will hold this year's property tax hike to 3% -- as if that's something to crow about.

Still, it suggests the province is flush with cash.......

It's good to see that health care premium going towards health care.

This Ontario Liberal government makes me wish for the sweet surrender of death...yay vote for me we won't raise taxes....oops sorry I raised your taxes by a large amount...yay vote for me i'll stop a construction project near toronto that is being built in a 'cherished natural area'....oops there are already buildings going up and i can't stop it aren't i red in the face....yay vote for me we'll clean up the environment....oops didn't think shutting down powerplants without power to replace them would be a problem, guess i was wrong again!

We're paying more and getting less literally in the case of the health premiums...he imposed that tax, then he took away chriropractic coverage, and basic eye care coverage! What I don't need sight to work!! That isn't a necessity? If my back was totally out somehow I am not entitled to a little chiropractic coverage to get me back to work to provide for my family/be productive in the economy? What is the point of this health care system if it isn't covering the necessities!? :angry:

Hmmm. I'm beginning to see a trend here.

Stashing.

In light of the "Flying Squirrel" thread, and now this "Stashing" thread, there's a definite rodent-related theme beginning to develop.
