Queen's Park Politics

[Dr Nevergold]

^^Liberals have always been the party of change, of progress, of ideas. The Conservatives are always going to be the cautious pessimist types. They will always say "we can't" when Liberals are bold enough to say "we can" and McGuinty has proven it.

McGuinty closed the coal generation plants, he didn't talk about it. McGuinty risked the ehealth investment - even though it turned into an abysmal failure - he made the attempt to digitize medical records with that program. Whether you fail or succeed, the difference is that Liberal philosophy is to progress and make room for change.

Today's PC's have less P and more C... It is just staunch can't-do attitude, surrounded by anti-government hyperbole. It sounds good to the voter to say "I'll give you more of your own money" but they don't really even mean it. Just look at the Ford debacle in Toronto right now. He's all about cuts, cuts, cuts, but the taxes are still going up and Toronto is backpeddling.

Do we really need the Conservative trifecta in Toronto, Queens Park, AND Ottawa at the same time? Canada, Ontario, and Toronto will be backpeddling for years before moving forward again. The *only* innovation during the Ford administration will have been plans that were sculpted and paid for before Ford even got to office. He'll be riding on the previous administrations for his "successful" programs.

Conservatives typically have few ideas of their own, and it shows so strongly in the Hudak campaign. He has no real plans, just a message of tax cuts, spending cuts.

Ontario simply deserves better than to deal with a Hudak administration.
