Prorogation:
An all-party condoned procedure and legacy used by this liberal government for
purely political reason to high-jack democracy through pompous unwritten
principles, non-binding conventions and traditions according to the liberal
parties anointed lieutenant governor and Queen's representative as opposed to the peoples or voters
representative.
Wynne’s promise to her liberal party to
recall the legislature in itself does not resolve or solve her political parties
or that of other future potential abuse of arrogantly using prorogation for political
purposes.
Unless the throne speech introduces measures
that effectively would prohibit and make it impossible for governing political
parties from introducing prorogation, unless Canada is in a declared state of
war, this liberal government should be immediately defeated on a no-confidence
vote by the opposition parties forthwith.
Education: A liberal party legacy that has allowed public
education to be controlled, managed and bullied around by teachers through their
union leaders and associations at the direct expense of students and taxpayers.
As a
profession teachers supposedly entered
this work environment NOT for the money as it has become for wages, benefits, sick
days, time off and pensions but rather to teach. Labour through it unions must
be controlled by governments, the people, the same way corporations not dictated
to by unelected members of the legislature.
Taxpayers,
students and parents all have had enough of collateral damage directly caused
to the public education system by the labour movements. The facts are clear
40,000 children do not graduate annually and a great number of those who do
cannot realistically read, write or do the math, let alone spell or carry on a
conversation.
Teachers and their unauthorized indoctrination of children and students, unlike those making cars, defending the innocent and guilty, doctors and the likes, as a profession are unaccountable for the consequences of their actions to the children, students, parents, taxpayers or society.
The public wants a word with these teachers and that is if you do not wish to teach then get out of the profession now and find another career through a union and leave the teaching to teachers who are dedicated to the same and not monetary gains at the expense of students and others.
What about cutting the fat out of education @ http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/malkin-dare/ontario-education-budget_b_2629624.html

Energy: Another economic disaster directly
caused by this liberal government. The cancellation of gas plants demands a
RCMP investigation and a subsequent judicial inquiry that has an outcome resulting
in jail time and restitution by MPP’s, bureaucrats, technocrats and political parties
found responsible and thus liable for wasteful spending, fiscal mismanagement of
programs and services that for me legally was a breach of trust on or within
government by a lack of fiduciary duties or oversight and mismanagement of
public funds.
There
has been no track of transparency by Wynne previously and as such simply asking
the auditor general to check the books is in my humble opinion a political
attempt at a further cover-up by this liberal party.

Economics: The liberal party of Ontario for
the past ten years has clearly demonstrated no transparent
political decency and honesty relating to Social justice.
As
such for this liberal government is the effective implementation of the above
three measures.
Transit and Transportation: Wynne has been a Toronto member of the
legislature for a decade and has never concerned herself or her party or led
the way on transit issues for either the city or the GTHA.
A 1%
transit tax on banks, unions and all corporate taxpayers as opposed to a new
direct 1% sales tax on individuals or parking fee increases, road tolls or
additional gas taxes is the one measure immediately required for transit subway
funding.
Presently
and for far too long individual income taxpayers contribute $24.2 Billion
annually in taxes, while banks, corporations contribute a mere $9.4 Billion in
taxes.
Any
new revenues for transit funding must come from a 1% transit tax on banks,
unions and all corporation doing business in Ontario and NOT a sales tax on
individual taxpayers.

Why should a business in Parry Sound pay an additional 1% tax to fund transit in Toronto. Rural Ontario people already fund transit through their gas taxes. Transit funding must come from the people who use it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thought and comments Peggy and let's not be too parochial here!
ReplyDeleteAll drivers in Ontario, including those throughout Toronto and the GTHA pay a gas tax when they fill up at the pumps.
The one exception is the first nations people, I believe. So let's not be too Parochial.
I want all business, banks, unions and corporations be they in Tim buck two or elsewhere in Ontario and Canada to pay a transit tax as opposed to a 1% sales tax.
A portion of the tax fund, based on ridership, of course would also be used to help fund your present transit system in Parry Sound.
Take care and keep smiling!
Margaret Thatcher took on the unions. Kathleen Wynne is part of the unions. Teachers' and civil servant unions in Ontario hold the public hostage, and that is not going to change with Wynne. The Hamilton incident shows just how egregious the unions are. As long as the liberals are in power, nothing will change. And to be honest, not sure Hudak would make a difference.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elke for your thoughts and comment.
ReplyDeletePersonnaly I strongly believe that political parties, all of them provincially and federally, in reality with there less than a percentage point of all registered voters DO NOT honestly represent the voters per say and rather their own individual political parties ideologies and policies that they seek our votes under at election time as opposed to to those of the voters.
Do Political Parties Represent Honesty and Transparency or are an Asset or a Ruse to Democracy and Elections?
