Dalton’s Legacy…
…Turning Ontario into a ‘WEAKER SISTER’ .
Well at least we’ll have Danny Williams to bail us out.
* * * *
Update : One thing Dalton could do is crack down on the illegal cigarette trade , and try to regain control of the lost tax revenue. But Weak Sisters don’t do that kind of thing.
Anyway, who would want to invest in a province where natives are allowed to barricade highways at will, and told they have the legal right to intimidate business developers ? Go west, young man!

And yet we are told that Ontario gives more than $20 billion to Ottawa than it receives in transfer payments.
Whats wrong with this picture?

U.V. - I agree that this needs to be looked at. Ontario has probably the least optimistic economic outlook compared to its ’stronger brothers’.

Doesn’t matter, if Dalton needs more money, he will just tax us on something. I just waiting for him to report that we are in bad financial shape so we have to increase something. This is all a lead-in to something that he was going to tax anyway.

Danny Williams now feels suprior to McGuinty with the wealth his NFLD and Labrador has and since Williams is more liberal than a conservative and with the wealth he has, williams can treat McGuinty ‘a liberal’ like a schoolboy “you spend the money I give you wisely or else face less the next time around.” “No more frivolous spending on ridiculous progams that no one wants.’
