Ontario Election

On Oct 10th Ontario will go to the polls and what seems to be elect another Liberal government which means for 5 years we will hear how they are going to fix problems, and then do nothing like every Liberal government has done for the past 50 years. This election is particularily disturbing for me because in all honesty my views do not fit into any party. John Tory made the mistake of faith based school funding, which ironically Dalton McGuinty once supported, and the Fiberals and there lackies in the media jumped all over it They have made this useless issue the focus of the election which is extremely sad, but this is what works in Ontario where 80% of the people have no idea what the platforms of any party is, they just vote with that the paper tells them to do. Tell me in your daily lives how many times does faith based funding enter into your day... I would suggest never. We already have faith based funding for Catholic schools which Dalton had the pleasure of attending. Imagine now that he thinks it will ruin the public school system, laughable. Here's is a thought for you, tell me in the last 5 years what has gotten better under the Liberals rule..

Education? I would ask everyone to go back to the high school they attended, and ask if it has gotten better since we left. I would suggest NO.

Health care? Throwing money at it Don't fix it. The Durham area, I was without a doctor for a while, and more and more people have no family doctors.

Crime? LOL

I know McGuinty will say it was the previous Harris's government's fault, but even if it was in 5 years has he made it better and fixed anything. Oh but if he wins I will get another Holiday... Thanks. Can I have my money back?, I would prefer that.

I believe in less government and let the private sector get more involved. Name one public run business that does well? Just one? Visited a park lately, tried to drive in Toronto? The issue is the talented individuals join the private sector because they can be more succesful there. Why not let the really talented people join government then useless failed lawyers, or real estate agents that are just in for the perks. Is there any way of measuring success in any public run business. I know there is in private sector. That's because they set metrics, and budgets to determine level of success. Why can't the government release the metrics they are trying to improve? Why can't they measure success? Why can't I get a tax statement from the provincial government which shows where my money goes> The basic truth is the governement sets itself up for failure and attracts lazy, non-dedicated individuals.

Whoever wins the next provincial election, all the people in Ontario lose! Maybe one day we will demand better service from government, then again maybe pigs will fly?
