Dear sir:
As a new provincial election rolls around, taxpayers have to carefully consider what sort of government they want running their province for the next several years.
Do they want a government that employs an anti-Robin Hood policy, whose philosophy seems to be “Take from the poor and give to the rich,” or one that has the best interests of all citizens at heart.
The Eves government and the Harris government before, in their attempts to create more tax relief for the major tax providers, have created many negative side-effects.
The results of these actions have resulted in hardships for our less affluent citizens, inadequate health care, tainted water, tainted meat, continued disruption of our education system, power blackouts, and decreases and confusion in municipal finances.
The budget presented by the Eves government would amount to $10.3 billion, according to independent economists. Eves denies that this is so, but can find no independent economist to back up his figures.
At the same time, the Eves government is hiding a $2-billion deficit.
One of the main government promises has been that they would provide balanced budgets in return for all the hardship and inconvenience they have visited upon the citizens of Ontario.
This has not happened.
The solution to all these problems is simple. This government has failed in its mandate and needs to be replaced.
Signed,
Bob Fryer
Fort Frances, Ont.
