Even though I left Ontario 6 months ago, I still like to peek in and see the state of the liberal train wreck. I almost fell off my chair this morning when I read that Ontario is planning a "carbon tax" for later this year. What is with this woman, has she lost all grip on reality? Yhis has to be the apex of political cynicism Ontario is going it alone on a carbon tax under the guise of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, what a crock of shit! Without federal involvement and te involvement of all the other provinces and for that mater the entire USA, this plan is just a tax grab disguised as a "green initiative". Just come out and say you've made a mess of the books, you've squandered billions and now you're flat broke and need more of the tax payer's hard earned money to keep from going insolvent.
Ontario is about to shoot itself in the foot once again with a tax regime that nobody else has to contend with. This coupled with the fact that there'll another tax grab in 2017 with the ontario pension plan, the province is going out of it's way to kill off business and jobs. I do t understand if this is just a case of complete ineptitude and lack of understanding of economic realities or if it's simply policy driven dogma that drives this party? Either way, the tax will come in, money collected will simply go into general revenues and wasted, GHG will not be reduced and Kathleen Wynne won't single handedly save the planet. What this does is give more ammunition to Stephen Harper in the upcoming election. Remember, Trudeau has stated he's commited to "putting a price on carbon, read new tax) so this is great new for Harper as this will be an unpopular tax, still fresh on the minds of Ontario voters. Not to mention that was no mention of a new tax during the last election. Between Wynne, Sousa, Chiarelli and Murray Ontario has a stable of four complete incompetents running major portfolios that they clearly have no business running, Ontaio will soon be what Newfoundland was prior to discovering oil, an economi basket case relying on federal handouts, and you all did it to yourselves by voting for these cretins. Looks like good times ahead for socialist Ontario.
