The Ontario Budget handed down this week was a joke. The Liberals campaigned on a platform of no tax hikes and a balanced budget. They delivered neither. By putting in place tax hikes, the Liberals have broken the Taxpayer Protection and Balanced Budget Act which received Royal assent in 1999. That means it is the law. Simply put, this law says that the government must go to a referendum BEFORE any tax hike is put into place. So the Liberals have not only lied during their campaign, they broke the law. I never have trusted politicians.

While I am on this, the Liberals have stated over and over that the reason they have had to go back on their word is because the previous government left them a deficit and its all their fault, blah, blah, blah. Well, if the problem was that the Liberals didn't know, then why were they making promises? And if there is a problem with disclosure of the books of Ontario, then why aren't they legislating that the books be open, and just like corporations, if the books are cooked then people get a "Go to Jail, Go Directly to Jail" card? I should be able to find out what is happening financially in our province. But you can't believe anything they tell us.
