Blue Like You

Dalton McGuinty seems to like going after things that don’t need fixing. For example, right after the election he gave Ontario a holiday nobody asked for.

Then he mused about taking away a prayer which a great number of Ontarians consider a tradition of this province. Apparently, there is a huge outcry against it.

Now he wants to impose a province-wide ban on pesticides, in spite of Health Canada assurances that the products are safe when used properly . He is pandering to the emotional bleating of the environmental extremists without consulting scientists in the field .

On the other hand, when it comes to really important matters that affect Canadians every day, I see little action. People lose jobs and Dalton blames Ottawa .

Can’t find a family doctor? Tough. Need to see a specialist fast? Too bad you’re not a dog .

Oh, I know things went a lot smoother in the last term, but there weren’t so many challenges either. Perhaps all the none-issues are simply a smokescreen that Dalton is using to hide the possibility that he simply doesn’t have a clue.

Wednesday Update: Dalton’s Mom upset by Lord’s prayer plan - Star . Gee, this part has a familiar ring :

…NDP Leader Howard Hampton, meanwhile, suggested the issue was designed to distract Ontarians from more pressing matters like the slowing economy.

Also please read: Economics tops health on pesticides - Star . Do environmentalists really get what this bill is going to do? It’s actually going to put caps on pesticide laws, so that the local laws can’t be made any more stringent . Golf courses will be forever exempt . Are they o.k. with that?
