This election really is a referendum on the HST and Ontario's push toward Green energy. I think this can't be understated, because Canadians need to be aware that Green energy investments don't come cheap.

McGuinty's largest public policy changes really come from the restructuring of the tax code (HST tax simplification, which added a the provincial portion to energy both hydro and gasoline/diesel, while lowering some income tax rates and other areas). His green energy platform is among the most bold in North America, far more bold than anything south of the border. An aggressive push toward construction of wind farms, nuclear, and simultaneously taking out coal entirely. The funds for this push are coming from these higher taxes on adding the 'provincial portion' of the HST to fuels and energy.

Ontarians need to understand what is at stake: will Canada be a Green energy leader, stay with McGuinty - a proven record and guy who has spent serious political capital on this - or will they abandon the beacon of these programs in North America? McGuinty's leadership has been noted all over North America and indeed the world for shuttering coal and forging such bold plans.

Ontarians really do have a choice: to continue to lead, or show that they are easily coaxed by the do-nothing campaigns of tax cuts/spending cuts that Hudak is offering. Hudak has no plans, he just wants to buy votes, yet he supports the HST anyway...

The real question is if Ontarians are that gullible to be bought off and go so backwards. And who are these "Green" voters who won't vote for the Liberal party, which has been the most green party in North America. Dion spent the entire federal Liberal political capital on his Green Shift several years back, McGuinty has simultaneously been leading Ontario through a green revolution.

We aren't talking about platitudes or speeches, we're talking about a party at both levels of government that has put it's ass on the line and has spent it's political capital and actually done something.

I'm amazed Canadian Liberals actually have balls, because the American liberals certainly don't. I would be absolutely giddy if I were eligible to vote for McGuinty. The guy hasn't talked the talk, he's walked the walk and performed. Actions are far louder than words, and McGuinty is the greenest power player in North America, along with his friends in BC.
