  • A counter proposal to the Metrolinx revenue tools plan

    The Greater Toronto-Hamilton Region (GTHA) is one of the fastest growing regions in North America. Currently, Toronto is building more skyscrapers than any other city in the West. Along with this unprecedented construction is immigration, making the GTHA one of the most diverse regions in the world. That growth has created congestion during parts of the workday so that the average commute time in the region is 82 minutes per day, one of the worst in North America.

  • Ontario Budget 2013: Digging a deeper hole:


    - M E D I A   R E L E A S E -

    The May 2 Ontario Budget represents Kathleen Wynne's first budget as Premier, but will it be her last?

    That's the $127.6 billion question. Will this budget be enough to placate the NDP and get their support to avert a late spring election? That is the central question around this budget. 

  • Budget: Lower & Simplified

    - M E D I A   R E L E A S E -

    This is the fifth in a series of releases designed to introduce our new Campaign platform for 2013-14.

    The impact of taxation and spending by government affects each and every person in Ontario and across Canada. Many people consider taxes as a necessary evil to maintain our civil society. But today taxes and spending by government greatly exceed what is required to maintain order in a civil society.

  • Jobs: Secure & Rewarding

    This is the fourth in a series of releases designed to introduce our new Campaign platform for 2013-14.

    One of the most enduring myths that politicians and governments perpetuate is their ability to create jobs in the economy. Indeed, governments do create government jobs, and some of those jobs are essential for protecting the rights of citizens. But every additional job created by government places a burden on the treasury, on the taxpayer, or worse requires additional government borrowing. Every government public sector job thus created makes it less likely that a private sector job is created. 

  • Healthcare: Faster & Efficient

    - M E D I A   R E L E A S E -

    This is the third in a series of releases designed to introduce our new Campaign platform for 2013-14.

    Ontario’s healthcare professionals are second to none in the world, but they are burdened under a system that is broken. Past governments have created a centrally planned monopoly that inhibits new ideas and forbids competition while costs continue to balloon.

  • Energy: Cheaper & Abundant

    This is the second in a series of releases designed to introduce our new Campaign platform for 2013-14.

     

    Electricity is generated in Ontario from three main fuel sources; nuclear (57%), hydro (22%) and natural gas (15%).  All of these forms of generation are encumbered by numerous government rules and regulations. The production and distribution of natural gas products allows elements of competition and choice for Ontarians, however the same cannot be said for hydro, nuclear, wind, solar and coal.

  • Education: Smarter & Inspiring

  • Our advice for the incoming Premier of Ontario

    - M E D I A   R E L E A S E –

     

    This week officially marks the beginning of Kathleen Wynne's new Liberal cabinet and government. Will it also mark a return to the classical liberal values of limited and less intrusive government?

  • Bill 115: IS EDUCATION AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE?

    - M E D I A   R E L E A S E -

    By removing the right to strike from teachers with Bill 115, the government is treating them the same as police and firemen, in essence, declaring public education an essential service. Given that the vast majority of families have no choices in where or how their children are educated, this is a logical step. If education is not an essential service, one must ask why the government is providing it.
