McGuinty promised to reduce air polution. He did . . . by closing down Ontario's industry. McGuinty was upset with perceived injustices in equalization. He fixed that by making us all poor. McGuinty believes that women should have babies . . . whether they want them or can afford them. The State will bring them up at the taxpayers expense. What else would you expect from a good Catholic. McGuinty wanted classroom sizes in secondary schools at a maximum of twenty . . . even for the forty odd thousand in a second year of Grade 12 for which there is no curriculum. We have them. University classrooms for the same cohort customarily run in the hundreds if not thousands. Feel the pain yet? Let's not make too much of what McGuinty didn't do. Let's concentrate on what he did. |
