I want you to turn your attention to this McSquinty commercial, for the 2007 Provincial election. First, I want you to skip through the first minute of Liberal Propaganda, and head for the 1:00 mark and start listening (don’t watch his face or you might get sucked into it too!). Folks, he got elected on that 40 seconds of speech:

Now, merely two years later, we have a McGuinty-is-against-but-still-approved ”Afro- centered” high school in Toronto, and now he is mulling over a school for boys. I suppose boys and girls are just too different to be sharing a classroom. Our children who “need to be sharing a classroom together to learn from and accept their differences”, can’t really be expected to do that and are now being segregated one by one.

After watching people being more outraged by the Governour General’s real title than a 1 billion dollar eHealth scandal, and another slew of announcements (like: Dalton Days, insurrance going up 10-20%, numerous taxes [electronics, paint, tires etc.]) that didn’t inspire ANYONE to raise some questions, it seems the Ontario electorate just doesn’t care.

And that’s a very sad thing.

Guinty & Smithy are just running wild now. One boondoggle after another. There seems to be no way to stop them.

The latest stupidity project is taking shape in Almonte. Mr. eHealth Scandal himself, George Smitherman, was on-hand to unveil the latest proof of incompetence: Two-hundred acres of prime, fertile farm land has been leased to a French company, that, for the lovely sum of $100,000,000 of Ontario taxpayer dollars, will erect a “solar wonder of the world” and, get this, will be paid $0.42 per kW/h to generate electricity. We currently pay, say, 0.06 per kW/h for coal/hydro/nuclear, so that will be an increase of seven hundred percent to the cost of electricity. AND we have to pay them to build it. On top of that, there will be an 8% increase once Dalton’s Rip-off Tax goes through next summer.

They say the project will start to generate electricity in December. Uhm.. after they hired some students to wipe the snow off of these miles and miles of solar panels. Yeah, solar energy is a real good idea: first off, you lose 2/3 of the day because there is no sun, and then you lose 1/3 of the year because there is snow sitting on these things.

And Dalton’s planning numerous projects like this one over the next three years.

Can we please get this guy out of office before he bankrupts all of us?

Read and cringe.

The federal government, in conjunction with the Alberta government, have invested $779M for an underground plant food storage unit. The unit will capture plant food (also known as CO2) from industries and store it underground in a holding facility (much like as in Ghostbusters), to be released into the atmosphere by some crazy scientist (again, much like as in Ghostbusters) sometime into the future, creating havoc for everybody on Earth. Or something.

At least it is some $220M less than Ontario’s recent M2W (Money To Waste, or, McGuinty To Waste) program.

Together, they could have bought 1800 MRI machines, or 100,000 nurses, saving MANY, MANY more lives than electronic health records or stopping Global Warming could ever hope to do.

Called “Canada’s biggest white-collar fraud“, Lacroix has been sentenced to 13 years in jail (of course, counting time served, and eligible for early parole after 1/6th of that time, Lacroix could be out in 18 months).

“Biggest”? A mere $100 million? I can think of a number of people who scammed us for much more than that: hmm, for say, $1 billion, people like McGuinty, Smitherman, Caplan, Kramer. They scammed millions of people out of 1 billion dollars.

How much jail time will they get for that?

Not one day, I’m sure.

Turns out, the “controversial” body bags that were sent to a Manitoba reserve, and created so much uproar in the media and opposition parties last month, were ORDERED by a NURSE on the reserve!

I’m waiting for them. Yessir. Let them apologies fly. Global TV, CTV, Ottawa Citizen, Iffy Ignatieff, Jackie Layton. I’m waiting….

But I’m not holding my breath.

Biggest story yesterday was, without a doubt, the eHealth auditor’s report on a $1B WASTE of OUR MONEY. That was, in fact, the biggest news story this week. On Wednesday morning, the Ottawa Citizen (a CanWest newspaper) reported on David Caplan’s weasley resignation over eHealth on PAGE 4 in a sub-sub column type story, buried far away from the front page. I thought: OK, it’s a CanWest paper. They don’t like to talk dirty about ANY liberal.  Strike one.

So then came on Global TV News (CanWest again) with Kevin Newman, live from Toronto, on Thursday evening. Lead story? How the CONSERVATIVES are NOT ACCOUNTABLE for the stimulus program with their ‘vague’ Action Plan website with only ballpark numbers, and how in the States it is all so wonderful with fancy websites with all the information you could ever need on their stimulus packages, down to the cent. We got to see some Liberal MP, aide by the side, you know, to provide him with some much needed ideas, staring at a computer screen and commenting on how the Economic Action Plan website is misleading Canadians and withholding the truth. Then they tracked down John Baird, and his explanation was simple: (paraphrasing) “That website they have in the US cost them 65 million dollars, we’d rather put that money into roads”. There, end of the story. A non-story, really. Why did they open with this story as opposed to the Billion Dollar Scandal in Ontario? Simple, so we can now ease into the liberal un-friendly story with the following line: “… and another example of what can happen when Governments are not held accountable: in Ontario a report came out today on eHealth, the Ontario Government’s…”. ANOTHER EXAMPLE? You’re equating a blatantly incompetent McGuinty Goverment’s 1 BILLION DOLLAR WASTE to a website that only lists ballpark figures of money actually spent and got something for it? And those are BOTH examples of what can happen when Governments are not held accountable?

Strike two.

This morning, I open the Citizen. Granted, they (finally) have the eHealth story on the front page. However, my eye caught a story further on in the paper: “PM appoints 5 judges with Tory links“. And I thought: funny how I never read: “Chretien appoints 5 judges with Liberal links” back in the nineties. It was just “PM appoints 5 new judges”.

With the polls clearly indicating that Canadians are moving away from Liberals and towards Conservatives, it is no wonder CanWest is losing money: you can’t bet on a losing horse and expect to make money.
