Tea Party Tim Strikes Again!!!


 If you liked the guy on the right, then you will for sure like the guy on the left. For all that Mike Harris did to Ontario, a Tim Hudak government would be 1000 times worse. Take for example Hudak's 1 million jobs plan. All of Canada's leading economist have shot down Hudak's plan, saying it's a fraud, and I'm not surprised as it was written by Tea Party members of the Republican party in the United States. Do we in Ontario really want the Tea Party involved in a Hudak government?

I was planning to enjoy a movie tonight at my local Cineplex theatre, and just before the movie started a commercial of Tim Hudak appeared on the big screen. Hudak's political ad claims that 1 million people are out of work in Ontario. Here's some math facts for Tim Hudak and the PC party:

  • Ontario's Population as of May 2014 stands at: 11,323.30
  • Ontario's workforce at full employment stands at: 7,483.60
  • Ontario's current employment level stands at: 6,934.70
  • Ontario's unemployment level stands at: 548,000
  • Ontario's rate of unemployment stands at: 7.3%
  • Canada's unemployment rate stands at: 7.0%
Clearly Hudak and his Tea Party team can't do simple math. Based on Hudak's claim of 1 million people out of work, our unemployment rate would be over 13%. Hudak further claims that if he does not balance the books in 2 years instead of the projected 3 years he would resign. Hudak makde a similar claim that if he did not create 1 million jobs in 8 years he would also resign. Does Hudak really think voters are that stupid? He's basing the creation of 1 million jobs on the fact that he would win 2 back to back majority governments.

Hudak plans to terminate 100,000 public sector workers over 4 years. There people are teachers, nurses, front line workers, and so on. Ontario has the lowest public sector workforce compared to all of the other Provinces. This is of course based on our population level and as a percentage of GDP. Hudak and gang cry that our public sector gets paid way too much money. What Hudak can't seem to understand is that the cost of living in most major urban areas of Ontario is the highest in Canada. You can't buy a half decent house in the GTA for under $ 600,000. In P.E.I. you could buy 3 house for the price of one in Ontario. these public sector workers who Hudak wants to fire pay taxes, buy homes in the community, spend money at local businesses, and send their kids to local schools.

Bottom line is that a Hudak government would take Ontario back to the days of Mike Harris when he closed 28 hospitals, fired 6200 nurses, forced our best doctors to leave Ontario for other Provinces and the United States. Teacher strikes were the norm, large class sizes, and no after school activity's will be what's in store for Ontario.

If you want to see schools closed, hospitals closed, teacher strikes, cut's in our social programs, then vote for Tim Hudak, and don't say I did not warn you!!
