Learn to Spell
In this digital age it really cheezes me off when people don't know how to spell. When they see your name in print how many times before they send the email but they cannot be bothered to get a proper name spelt right. I know I make typos and such, but come on this is overboard.
$10/hour minimum wage
Recently there has been discussion about Premier McNutty pledging a $10/hour minimum wage by 2009. If McNutty wishes to help the working poor, why not cut taxes on what they make. As one person put it, when under 20k a year is considered poor, why does the government start collecting tax at 8K of income.
I take a McNutty pledge as seriously as a Nigerian money scam. McNutty said no tax increases then soaks us for $2 Billion in health care taxes, and wait times go up. Pledged more jobs, but yet Ontario has lost over 50,000 manufacturing jobs in his term of office. Way to help us out there!
Increasing the minimum wage without tax relief will have a negative effect on the economy when it is ill-afforded. Handcuffing businesses with higher wages will only cause job losses and higher prices.
Good job. With any luck you'll have a "stronger record" for being a screw up than Bob Rae! Wouldn't that be a feat!
When is slush not slush? When its Grade-A prime-choice Liberal slush
Slush is slush! When I was a kid, the only slush I knew was slush on the road or those red or blue slushies from Mac's Milk. As I grew older, I learned of other slush. Political Slush. Now thank's to Lieberal Dalton McNutty, I see yet another form of slush. Liberal Slush. The nice thing about Liberal Slush is that it doesn't stick to them.
This slush fund the Liberals have funded something like $25million dollars through to "community groups". While some of the groups have been genuine, Lost Villages Historical Society being one of them, the way the monies were acquired leaves a certain taint to them.
Why did the Liberals not follow an open and transparent policy on giving out this money? Because the money went to Liberal friendly groups.
How about some transparency and honesty? Meanwhile I am heading to Mac's Milk, I need a slushy with some substance and a brain-freeze, because all I am getting from the Liberal one is a headache!
Blogging again
