The Wynne Experiment

When the people of Ontario voted in a majority government for Kathleen Wynne, it must have been at best an experiment. Right?

After all, her Liberal predecessor was plagued with scandal after scandal, and was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. So how could a province vote for the Liberals again, especially delivering them a majority government? Well it happened and now people are seeing the errors of their ways, as the tax and spend Wynne government begins to rape the taxpayers of Ontario.

The latest new tax was to increase our car license stickers to an annual cost of $120. Only 5 years ago it was $75 to renew your car sticker, yet with these increases we have seen little infrastructure repairs done, yet we pay provincial tax on our gas for this very reason.

Now you may remember the budget of 2015 delivered by the Wynne government. It proposed no new taxes at that time. However it did propose a spending platform of a whopping $132.000,000,000. Yes count the zeros, that is Billions folks. Now how did she think she was going to pay for that with the government already in major debt, but promising not to raise any taxes to bring in more revenue.

The answer is cuts to services. Especially to our health care system. Her government continues to clash with Doctors and Nurses over pay and layoffs in the case of Nurses. She also is quietly cutting out programs within the health care service, which most people do not realize unto they find themselves in the position of needing it, only to be told the program no longer exists due to cuts.

Of course there is a new payroll tax, the carbon tax and let's not forget about the $70 million paid out in severance to people who never put in a days work, but had accepted positions for the now defunct Ontario Pension Plan. Think of how many nurses we could have put into our system for that kind of money.

Premier Wynne keeps tossing our tax dollars around into the wind, while infrastructure continues to crumble, public transit in our big cities remains far behind the rest of the world and of course the health care system is struggling to survive.

While we are far away from the next election, I hope Ontarian's will remember this failed experiment and put their vote behind another party with a solid platform and a caucus free of scandal!
