Transit gets biggest boost
Fri, March 24, 2006
The Liberals are trying to buy Toronto votes with their unbalanced budget, critics say.
By CPTORONTO — Commuters in and around Canada’s largest city got the bulk of the cash yesterday in a budget that seeks to buttress Ontario’s busiest roads, bridges and transit system — and pave the way for a Liberal election win in 2007.
Of course Dolt McGuinty isn’t trying to buy Toronto votes, he’s merely trying to improve his ability to get to out of Queen’s Park and up to cottage country on the weekends!
And, only for the sake of humour and to demonstrate how the government is really the source of all “healing cash”, here is what the communists NDP had to say about the budget…
New Democrat Leader Howard Hampton estimated the Liberals had room to put about $3 billion into the hands of farmers, poor families and other needs, but “chose not to.”
“This is a budget of missed opportunities,” Hampton said.
And John Tory (who is really a liberal) had this to say…yawn…
“It’s a 100-per-cent political document, as opposed to one I’d call prudent,” said Conservative Leader John Tory.
He accused the government of “uncontrolled spending” in a province that “used to be the economic centre of Canada” but is now falling behind the other provinces, led by energy-wealthy Alberta.
