The province’s own website notes that the budget essentially serves as a “financial roadmap for the year” and sets priorities for government spending “based on months of research, consultation and analysis.”The budget was tabled at 4:00 p.m. with the usual secrecy around it. Reporters spent the day pouring over the numbers sworn to secrecy. Well except for the carefully selected “day of budget leak” revealing a goodie.
So Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives simply fine tuned the politics of election year budgets. Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy’s speech hailed the budget as a plan “to get it done.” That’s the PCs election campaign slogan for the June 2 election and the word “done” made 24 appearances in Bethlenfalvy’s speech.
The 2018 election reduced the Liberals to seven seats, not even party status, at Queen’s Park. The New Democrats, with 40 seats, have been the Official Opposition for four years. But recent public polls have the Liberals running a few points behind the PC’s. The budget speech’s focus on the Liberals just might mean that internal PC polling is showing Ontario needs to be reminded of the perceived failures of past Liberal governments.
After the budget NDP leader Andrea Horwath told CP24 that the government failed to take the opportunity to “fix what’s broken” in Ontario. The NDP platform unveiled this week promised an NDP government will fix the social problems in the province. Horwath criticized the budget for being focussed on construction instead of social programs.
FORD WILL RENEIGE ON EVERY PROMISE......LIES
Doug ford will cut 300,000 jobs from Ontario if he gets elected. Please vote for either Andrea Horwath or Steven del duca. A conservative politicians will cut jobs from economy including new blue party and Ontario party. Liberal, NDP and greens are the only way to strong economy
Should have been called that all along instead of all the breathless coverage it got.
LetTheBullshitStart. Rarely do any promises even start to happen until just before the next election
Campaign means nothing. Would vote Conservative today and will election day. NOTHING IS CHANGING THAT!!!!
Sure does!
