From what I see and hear, our premier is in for a bit of surprise come the provincial election. You can only push the electorate so far, and Dalton McGuinty has Ontario voters squished right up against the wall.
His latest hare-brained idea, to give us another statutory holiday in February, positively reeks of pre-election bribery. As opposition leader John Tory asks, if this is such a great idea why has Dalton waited until the end of his mandate to bring it up?
To me, it seems like just yesterday that Dalton promised “No new taxes” moments before he brought in our beloved health care premium. I’ve been savouring for four years the fact that I’m going to have the chance to let him know just what I think of politicians who break, not one, not two or three, but virtually every promise made during the last election campaign.
But he and his team think we’re stupid. He thinks we’ve forgotten what happened and that by trying to buy us off we’ll wander into the voting booth in love with his liberal machine.
Sorry, Dalton. Come November, you’re toast!
