We had8years of Conservative Common Sense with Mike Harris, who Privitized, cut, slashed, demonized and demoralized Public Sector workers...all we got was richer corporations, patronage appointments, scandals, MPPs who became multimillionaires over night when Mike snuck out the back door and no real improvement for everyday Ontarians.
Lil' Timmy is recklessly saber rattling, letting the same neo-Con talking heads who programmed him during the election speak through him once again to push an agenda that is meant to benefit a very select few at the expense of the majority of us already trying to deal with the reality of the 21st Century.
Dalton needs to go.
Sadly like most Canadian Governments the Ontario Libs have been in power so long their arrogance has made them unserviceable to us; however the Conservatives offer no real plans for a future for the Province, just short term cuts and "get tough" talk meant to satisfy gross public resentment towards the phantom few Hudak and his lot have talked into existence in order to propell their own desire to form a government and get rich as Uncle Mike and the First Generation of Ont Neo Cons did at the turn of the Century.
Let us hope that the NDP have learned since the disaster of Bob Rae.
It would be refreshing though if any of our Politicians at Queen's Park would come out and table a motion to scale back their disgustingly rich pensions, benefits and pay...Dalton won't do that...and Timmy, who has never worked anywhere but in Politics and really has no idea about what the average Ontario family goes through, who qualified for his pension for life after just 6 years whelping on the back bench most assuredly isn't going to take a hit. That's what the little people are for.
And those facts my misguided, angry fellow voters (if indeed you can get your self righteous arses out to vote), those are the true legacy costs to all of us. The pensions earned by nurses, police, corrections, MTO workers and the like ARE NOT crippling anything. Largely the are administered through unions at their member's expense and are no more subsidized than they would be by the Private sector.
The legacy costs that have become a buzz topic for fast votes and little thought come from the Top, starting with the Queen's Park elite and trickling down to the layers upon layers of management laced with cronies and unqualified (remember Walkerton?) overpaid do-nothing's who burden the system and eliminate any competitive spirit the Public Service could have.
Cuts are needed. They are needed here though, from the top down. NOT the bottom up. All you do by attacking the pensions and workers singled out by Dalton and Timmy is too attack working class people with families like yours who have no voice as they are the scapegoat for the corrupt and empowered.
Wake up and think.

@Thom, where do I begin?
Let's start with your offensive treatment of another person who took the time to comment...calling them "dick" and "moron". Name calling is not intelligent debate, it is just plain childish.
Now, I am not a supporter of either Dalton McGuinty or Tim Hudak, and I don't believe either of them have the tools or policies to effectively govern. That being said, your characterization of Tim Hudak as "pro money" (as if that was a bad thing) is laughable. Money is nothing more than a measure of value, value produced, value traded, value earned.
You rail against it being "all about the bottom line". Well of course it is all about the bottom line! It has to be all about the bottom line. No bottom line...no money, no wages.
Money is a good thing, profits are a good thing. They lead to jobs and good wages.
@Thom, I suggest that you attempt to educate yourself on basic economics and perhaps even read the business section in the paper once in a while.
Maybe if you do that you will be able to enter a debate on economic issues armed with more than name calling and a few tired old socialist platitudes.
