If I had to rate the Harper government’s performance so far, I’d have to give it an A since it has managed to do more good for Canada than 8 years of Mulroney rule and certainly more good than 12 years of Chretien-Martin rule. There are occasional examples though of when our current government […]
Emboldened by David Miller’s tenure as Mayor of the Centre of the Universe TM, many of Ontario’s other mayors and city councilors have recently gone on a spending binge, with budgets full of pet projects and good intentions.
On the latter note, we’ve seen such bright lights as a ban on two-garage houses and on […]
In an astonishingly unslanderous article over at the Star, Flaherty’s tax cuts are called moderate.
However, nothing could be completely rosy in a piece by the Red Star on the subject of a Conservative politician.
He takes issue with 10 billion of the surplus being paid towards the debt.

Oh man, oh man, oh man:
Leader Stephane Dion says a Liberal government would consider rescinding Tory government cuts to the goods-and-services tax.
Is there video footage of this statement? If so, it would make the “didn’t get it done” clip look tame by Tory attack ad standards.

Over the weekend the Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty, wrote a letter to the Prime Minister requesting more federal seats for his province in the House of Commons.

the bleak statistics — whether a 70-percent high-school graduation rate as measured in a study a few years ago by the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, or poor math […]
One wonders how good ol’ “Mike the Knife” would view this. Amen to the CTF and CFIB’s comments though!
It’s official: Mike Colle (Liberal, Eglinton—Lawrence) is the first causality of the upcoming provincial election here in Ontario. The Toronto Sun is reporting that Colle resigned today after the provincial auditor found millions of dollars were sent off to various agencies without proper scrutiny and, in some cases, without the agencies even asking for […]
I have to admit that I didn’t see this bit of pleasant news coming, especially so quickly! After his plan for massive tax increases got shelved on Monday, Toronto Mayor David Miller announced today that “massive” cuts are coming to the city’s services. Among these will be the closure of the TTC’s third […]
Well isn’t this great? After two weeks of intensive efforts to protest the July 16 vote on implementing Toronto’s new tax powers, Hogtown’s councilors voted to suspend the tough work of either hiking taxes or cutting programs until after the next provincial election in Ontario, hoping that “a new regime will be more willing” […]
