Democracy of Hypocrisy

Once again, the Ontario government will get it's nose in business that it should otherwise stay out of. In October of 2008, I blogged about the issue of Michael Schmidt selling raw milk to his neighbours and friends. The government believes that

raw milk can carry bacteria such as salmonella, E. coli and Listeria monocytogenes, which carry serious, and sometimes deadly, health consequences.

and being the ever present guardians and protectors of ourselves, they are appealing a recent court decision that found Schmidt not guilty of violating the Health Protection and Promotion Act.

...on the Liberal win in Toronto Centre.

Former Winnipeg mayor Glen Murray has won a provincial byelection for the Liberals in the Toronto Centre riding

You've got to be kidding. The liberals pull off another win in this province that enjoys being fleeced. I hope that Toronto Centre doesn't reflect the views of the rest of Ontario because if it does, then we shall be in for another McGuinty majority come election time next year.

Tisk tisk Spanky, this doesn't look good at all.

What have you guys gotten yourself into now lol.The white elephant known as Ceaser's Windsor is having a bit of trouble with their new $81 million power plant. See, the thing is, it isn't fully operational, far from it, and it may never be! The good ole citizens of Ontario should be mad as hell for paying for this boondoggle but I haven't really heard much from anyone. Must be the love we still have for the Dalton Liberals, but then again, the polls are showing his support shrivelling up so who knows.

Some highlights of the article

The OLG also says the energy centre was supposed to cost $40 million. Built into the parking garage of Caesars Windsor, the powerhouse provides heating, cooling and backup power to the expanded gaming facility.

Well, in theory that is what it is supposed to do, but in reality...

It looks like the bulls may soon be on parade yet again. Count Michael "Iggy" Ignatieff and the non Conservative Conservative Stephen Harper are talking smack like they are in some kind of pre-fight press conference a la Mike Tyson/Lennox Lewis. Ok ok, maybe not with all the expletives and hysteria but nonetheless it's entertaining in it's own right. Harper says that if the Liberals want to "fight" an election, the Cons are ready. The issue? None other than Employment Insurance, or perhaps its because Iggy is doing well in the polls, hmm, talk about timing eh. Just what we need, another election, this dysfunctional parliament should have it's own variety show because the comedy is top notch, however, I do not believe that we need to go to the polls again.

So I've come back to post here on my blog after going through a bit of depression over the past month and a half. What do I come back to? None other than Ignatieff spouting off about how it might be necessary to raise taxes to fight the deficit. Well, considering I live in Ontario, which has been losing jobs at an alarming rate, I don't think we want more taxes. I don't think the guy who got laid off at the GM plant wants to pay higher taxes, and I know I don't either.
