Sometimes it’s Premier Dad. But sometimes…In Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario…

Joe Warmington Gets it (emphasis mine):
Like a giant boa constrictor, they are slowly sucking the breath out of the lives of Ontarians and the lifestyles they’ve come to know…
The public is too busy paying taxes to keep track of how this land is becoming is [sic] a giant tax, fee and regulation society that builds very little, except massive debt to pay for bureaucratic insanity.
It seems the whole game is more about saving their false economy…
They are rapidly eroding the life we understand and replacing it with a collection business, which seems to be the only industry thriving on Ontario.

The Pimply Minion’s Rebellion of 2010 continues apace.
It really seems this summer that governments in North America have started a war on the citizenry.
And it’s not big government, Stephen Harper and Barak Obama coming down from on high. It’s not even Premier Dad, Premier Uncle Jean and Premier Auntie Eva: Political middle managers bullying the staff. No, this is the locals, the councils and the by-law officers declaring what you can and cannot do full stop.
Want a lemonade? it must have the pimply minion seal of approval; want to get together with 75 friends and associates to discuss freedom on private property? not without a permit; want to write a blog? not without a license:
…Marilyn Bess has operated MS Philly Organic, a small, low-traffic blog…
In May, the city sent Bess a letter demanding that she pay $300, the price of a business privilege license.
“… for the city to tell me to pony up $300 for a business privilege license, pay a wage tax, business privilege tax, net profits tax on a handful of money is outrageous,” Bess says.
Of course, now Bess gets to write everything off, her computer, the room in her house where she blogs from, her server space &tc.
Except, I agree with William L. Anderson at The Freeman:
…I suspect there’s a more important reason for this new government outrage: intimidation of anyone who would use a blog to criticize government officials.
In other words, it’s not about the money, it’s about the rebellion.

If you don’t like the policy, wait around 6 months, it’ll change:
March 2010:
“If I was to knock on 1,000 Ontario families‘ doors and ask them for their top three concerns, I’d be surprised if anybody said, `Well … one of those is we’ve got to start this new kind of mixed martial arts in Ontario. That’s going to mean a lot to me and my family,’” said McGuinty.
“It’s just not a priority for our families and it’s not a priority for me.”
August 2010:
Our government has been monitoring MMA for some time. We know that the sport has evolved and that Ontarians want to see it here.
Geez Premier Dad. You’re on about it’s not a priority for you, then you say you’ve been monitoring it for some time. Which is it?
And if Ontarians want to see it here, can we presume that if you knocked on “1,000 Ontario families‘ doors and ask them for their top three concerns,” somebody would say MMA in Ontario?
