Finally, Some Nice Weather

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

It seems that Southern Ontario was finally blessed with some nice weekend weather.  Not wanting to miss out on this bit of good fortune, we set out to take the boat out for its first run of the year.
Below are a few photos of a most relaxing day.
Looking ahead…

It’s Hard to Survive on $1 Billion!

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Apparently, making ends meet at the taxpayer-funded CBC is a difficult exercise.  Already the recipients of over $1 Billion per year in taxpayer cash, CBC President Hubert Lacroix is asking for about 20% more!  Lacroix made no mention of any efforts to trim his bloated budgets.  In his world, more subsidies are the only answer!

Ontario Health Care Priorities

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

When Dalton “I won’t raise your taxes” McGuinty implemented his Ontario Health Premium, he simultaneously made cuts to the services provided.  Basically, the Health Premium doesn’t entitle us to premium health care.

Selective Opposition

Liberals are vowing to amend the government’s film tax credit legislation at the risk of triggering a federal election, insisting they will not let bureaucrats decide what Canadians can watch.
So Liberals are against bureaucrats deciding what Canadians can watch.  Does this mean we have the blessing of the Liberals to shut [...]

Helping the Economy… NDP-Style

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I’m no fan of Dalton McGuinty, and I don’t believe he has any credible plan to properly manage the economy of Ontario.  In fact, I’ve been critical of Dalton on that topic here, here and here.  However, as bad as Dalton’s economic stewardship is, Howard Hampton and his band of merry socialists would be much worse!
Here’s what Hampton had [...]
