Ontario election (and corporate welfare) watch:
The auto industry (also known as the corporate welfare industry)
- Progressive Conservatives tout tax cuts instead of throwing taxpayer cash at them.
- Liberals tout throwing taxpayer cash at them, so, more government spending and thus higher taxes for all (or as their Globe & Mail division kindly puts it… “injecting money…to stimulate the sector…”)
As the Globe‘s own headline admits just for a second, for the Liberals it’s just spending, 
but then the Globe’s reporters revert right back into their left-wing happy-face code-speak:
Liberals tout spending, PCs push lower taxes for Ontario auto industry
Ontario Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne says injecting money into the auto industry is the only way to stimulate the sector, while the Progressive Conservatives are arguing lower taxes would be more effective.
The Globe should get a political donation receipt from the Libs for that wordcraft.
Liberal welfare monger Kathleen Wynne also said Tim Hudak would “destroy the auto industry,” by ending government funding to the sector.
“Destroy” it? By “ending government funding”? What is this — the CBC? Even the liberals’ Toronto Star division put that word in scare quotes in their headline:
“Kathleen Wynne warns Tim Hudak would ‘destroy’ auto industry”
Alternate reality: Wynne has utterly no clue about economics and business. Or worse, she does, and she’s a socialist.
Wynne believes unless government gives businesses money, the whole industry will be “destroyed.” Or she doesn’t believe that, but wants to control business. What form of government does that sound like to you? It’s not capitalist. It’s not free enterprise or free market. And that’s all we really need to know to not vote for her and her party.
The you’ve got to be kidding party’s Andrea Horwath spoke in the same socialist dialect as fellow leftist Wynne, not surprisingly, warning that Ontario must be willing to (get this socialist code-speak) “offer financial incentives to auto companies…” but didn’t stop at just auto companies: “…and other manufacturers.”
The expanse of “financial incentives” is limitless, to socialists. Until everybody in “incentivized” equally, thus rendering the whole exercise moot. No, they will not get a clue and figure this out (or worse, they already know).
Just to help clarify, “financial incentives” are also known by liberals, socialists, and other progressives by the phony left-wing code-speak term “investments” 
and “stimulus” and “sponsorship,” oh yeah and also “socialism,” but they don’t use that latter word, because they aim to fake you out. And the media advance the left-wing advocacy by not even once raising the specter of what will happen if the Liberals and the NDP “provide” “financial incentives” to “stimulate” the auto sector; that taxes will by necessity have to rise. Again. And/or the enormous debt of Ontario will increase, even more.
Here’s more such nonsense from the NDP’s Horvack with my emphasis:
“We…have to make sure we’re providing the partnerships necessary…”
“Partnership.” Dear God. Only to a socialist intent on controlling business, and the marketplace in which it operates, would government cash being given to a business mean a “partnership.”
Maybe they should try not giving the auto giants more cash. I don’t want to bore you with the old bromide about the definition of insanity, but really.
