At Home in Hespeler

“This is a premier who talks a big game about accountability… but she chose not to show up,” Howarth told reporters.

However, Howarth dodged questions on whether her party would support the Liberal budget…

This has been a regular feature of Ontario politics since the last election. Howarth supports Wynne on the only votes that count, then spends the rest of her time complaining about her politics or ethics.

And, oh yea, PC leader Tim Hudak will still be hard pressed to win any election that may or may not be coming. That is, to put it bluntly, a scathing indictment of Hudak and the party that simply doesn’t have the guts to put up a leader with a chance to win.

That said, Hudak deserves kudos for what he said this weekend, and it bears repeating since Wynne has threatened to sue him for saying it, thus letting us know she doesn’t want us hearing it, and Hudak has all the stones of a post-pubescent soprano in an all male choir and is likely to retract at any moment:

Now we know that since this happened during her time in the premier’s office that she oversaw and possibly ordered the destruction of government documents as part of the cover-up

As Kate over at SDA points out, our man Dalton is hiding at Harvard. Fortunatly, it turns out the internet revolution has,in fact, come to Harvard and they have email there now. She thinks emailing him there might be something worth doing, but I kind of think emailing Harvard themselves with your concern over their choice of Fellow and his ethics might have more bang for the buck.

Funny, listened to a chunk of John Tory’s show today, and this isn’t what he was talking about.

The economic disaster that is California is a powerhouse compared to Ontario

Both jurisdictions face deficits of about $16 billion… Ontario has approximately a third of California’s population and a third of it’s GDP…

Last word on this post to PC MPP Lisa McLeod: “He’s not been a responsible manager of our economy, and now we’re paying for it.”

Economic Fundamentalism, In Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario…

We’re all just really, really big children.

We’re just kind of growing up a little bit as Ontarians.

Thanks to Premier Cool Uncle (formerly Premier Dad), Dalton McGuinty, for having such confidence in us. Dad never did!

We’ve heard from Ontarians and they are ready for more freedom.

So, Chris Bentley, you can hear us. Hear this, both of you:

GET OUT OF MY LIFE, YOU SIMPERRING NINNIES!
YOU AREN”T SMART ENOUGH TO TELL ME HOW TO RUN MY LIFE,
and you sure aren’t cool enough to tell me when and were I can drink

In Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario… Chris Bentley, Dalton McGuinty

it’s like Fantino never left…

On Saturday there was a “Truth and Reconciliation Rally” in Caledonia Ontario,  in which the protesters, or bad guys in OPP parlance, were “repeatedly bumped and obstructed,” walking down the road. The OPP, which did arrest Gary McHale in 2007 for the aggressive action of raising a Canadian flag, did bubkus.

McHale did have a chance to speak to one of the six nations elders, but was drowned out by bussed in protesters.

Natasha at Moose & Squirrel has done great work on this.

And be sure to read Christie Blatchford’s compelling book on the Caledonia Crisis:

Update: from Natasha in the comments: o, no — All I’m doing is relaying the info Mark Vandermaas (Voice of Canada) has been kind enough to provide.

Christmas, In Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario…

Sometimes it’s Premier Dad. But sometimes…

you just have to call in the Supernanny.

Dalton, In Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario…, Premier Dad cell phones, France Gélinas, supernanny

Did anyone believe him? Anyone…? Beuller…?  Dalton McGuinty told you a) Smart Meters will save you money on electricity & b) They would be revenue neutral. Always revenue neutral with these guys, always that means there is the same amount of revenue as before, but they’ll have more of it.

Here’s what I said about Smart Meters, as it related to a rate increase a Toronto Hydro because of successful conservation efforts:

…once everybody is doing their dishes in the middle of the night demand will increase at that time, causing the rate to increase in the middle of the night.

Of course, I was off a bit: Premier Dad didn’t wait until everybody was doing their dishes in the middle of the night. Smart Meters raised everybody’s electricity bill automatically, regardless of when you use electricity.

I’ve been paying HST all over town. I can’t wait for the election to vote against this guy.
