It certainly is disturbing that "Liberal-bashing" has become fun in Canada. I mean it is one thing to disagree, but to start making statements that McGuinty needs to be "mopped up" and that Harris' government failed because of Chretien? It is pure vitriolic rhetoric.

I'm sorry, it is too easy for a politician to run around screaming he'll cut your taxes. It's an easy vote-getter. McGuinty's government - for all it's problems, yes ehealth was an absolute failure - has done a lot of good. Ontario needs to see through things like the new Ottawa LRT plan, the conversion of Scarborough RT and creation of an Eglinton underground LRT. Ontario needs to complete it's conversion to a greener energy economy. Ontario needs to continue investing smartly in health programs.

Ontario needs to maintain it's Liberal government for at least another term, it is too early to give up on the progress made since the Harris days of cuts, cuts, cuts. Politicians who cut services have the easy job, it is the governments that actually innovate, change, take risk, and do something that have it hard. McGuinty has taken those risks... It isn't time to back-peddle to the horrible cuts that Hudak threatens.

Converted into English from political speak: A politician who obsesses over cuts is a politician with no ideas and cannot innovate, a politician who wants to take risks and speak about investments is a politician looking to make changes and perform. Hudak is a do-nothing politician who is trying to ride to office on cynicism and uses tax cuts/spending cuts as his only message.

If Ontario takes the do-nothing "cut" bait, yes, the province will not be the better for it. When Hudak says he wants to cut everything, believe it. It will have consequences. Just look at what Ford is doing in Toronto right now, he's cutting everything from trying to get rid of 24 hour bus service to selling off city employees, and the taxes are *still* going up. The tax cut/spending cut message is just to buy votes.
