We will create one new statutory holiday in February called Family Day, because a workforce that gets time off is a workforce that works even harder when they are on the job, this will improve our economy
We will keep the Ontario Health Premium Tax to cut wait times and to employ more nurses and internationally trained doctors.
We will continue balancing the budget and pay down the provincial debt. Help Ontario businesses stay competitive by eliminating the capital tax by 2010 and reducing provincial property taxes on businesses and we will continue to manage taxpayers dollars wisely and in an open manner.
The Liberals have been hit hard about broken promises but that was mainly because of our 5.6 billion dollar hidden deficit that the previous Conservative government left us, we are finally beginning to overcome that and Ontario is stronger than ever. The Liberals will keep Ontario moving forward
VOTE LIBERALS
We think that the Conservative’s proposal to add scrubbers on coal-fired plants to reduce toxic emissions by 90% and to also reduce green house gases is ineffective. Researchers show that even the most expansive scrubbers would only reduce toxins by 34% and would do nothing to reduce green house gases. The bottom line is adding scrubbers will do nothing to reach PC goals, this shows that they haven’t done their research and did not think this through, what kind of leadership is that?
The NDP and Green party wishes to eliminate nuclear power plants, but that’s just not possible in a province like Ontario where nuclear energy accounts for 45% of Ontario’s electricity. Nuclear energy is safe, reliable and 100% greenhouse gas free.
If they do get closed, almost half of Ontario would have NO electricity, additionally many workers will lost their jobs that would be a terrible thing for our economy, we agree that we have to conserve energy but it wouldn’t be nearly enough to make up 45% of the energy produced by nuclear power, Ontario has to move in a direction which will lead to a better environment but closing nuclear power plants is definitely not the solution.
No nuclear power means no electricity, no electricity means that we have to light candles, we won’t be able to cooked food and most importantly no television, msn, or facebook. So nuclear power plants or no electricity for half of Ontario, It’s your choice.
