Ontario, dear Ontario, where are we heading? (Part 2)
Continuing with our strategy to turn this Province around to avoid the iceberg that our economy is heading for.
Once we stop digging our financial hole we focus on job creation. In order to accomplish this we must first recognize what the Liberals don’t. Governments do not, and should not, create jobs.

Bureaucrats, can’t work to your budget? Hire a Housewife!
Where the “H E Double Matchsticks” are our Public Service Managers? These are the people we trust to spend our taxes wisely but all we hear is that don’t have enough money to do their jobs properly. It’s truly amazing that these people continue to present the same excuses, year after year, with a straight face. [Read more...]
