Ontarians Have Voted for Change

Doug Ford and his Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario have been picked to helm this great province for the next four years.

While The Man of Slogans was not my first pick for the premiership, he has been given a mandate of "majority". Hopefully his more experienced party members will help him build a knowledge base as to how our system works. (How does a bill become a law?)

Mr Ford now has to grant interviews and reveal how he's going to pay for his slogans.

His late brother Rob would say "the voter is never wrong". (The "voter" has sent the Ontario Liberal Party to the dry dock.)

Congratulations too to the Washington Capitals: I just heard they won the Stanley Cup last night.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming....

Wow. Better get working on that panic room! Get ready for: "The Purge: For the People!," when the New Founding Fathers of Ontario pass a law sanctioning the crimes they're already committing. So they can "teach the lesson after election." You know; so responsible gun owners' can get a shot killing someone, not just the crazy ones...

Not for a moment do I think the roof's going to fall in, but....

Thanks for the comment.

Oh, the roof fell in a while back. Our house is in ruins. Ontario's debt has risen under all governments since 1989. And don't kid yourself: it increases just the same under PC governments as Liberal & NDP, but ends up costing the taxpayer significantly more. The Tories claim they will save us money, but they don't: even while while they cut health care, defund crucial social programs (like affordable housing), and devalue public education. It's all a smoke-screen, this ruse of reducing government spending - by downloading (formerly) provincially-run services onto the municipalities, and privatising expensive - not to mention revenue-generating - taxpayer-funded projects, for a quick, book-cooking buck (hello 407).

The real wild card would be if Ford becomes determined to scrap green energy contracts, but thinks he can refuse to pay the contract-breaking penalties. That may cause Ontario's credit rating to drop. Then the $12 billion debt interest per year takes off like a rocket.

Come on, guys! Ford said he was going help all Ontarians.

I don't like your lack of faith.
