All you apathetic Ontarians should get off your ass and write your MPP about the McGuinty budget if you don’t want your salary increases to be eaten by the government, and then some.  Wrong tax at the wrong time.

In a nutshell: “Home renovations, gasoline, home-heating oil, haircuts and fast food, for which the PST doesn’t currently apply, will be subject to the harmonized rate. So prices for those items will increase by eight per cent”

Gas for the car goes up 8% Oh why not, it’s going to be sky fucking high by the time the harmonized tax comes into effect!

A place to live, a place to grow...

I wrote my MPP last Wednesday, CC’d my city councilor, and CityTV News new for the hell of it. It didn’t hurt a bit! Just keep in mind that YOU are paying these people to run what is effectively a business. If you sat on the board of directors of the Corporation of the Province of Ontario you would have fired these jackholes a long time ago. Sadly no such accountability exists and it’s up to US to hold them accountable. Imagine Ontario Inc. on the stock market. It would have been delisted a long time ago because people aren’t stupid enough to invest in a money losing venture.

If you live in Toronto you should be super-pissed. Mayor Miller’s property taxes coupled with this budget could compel we Torontoians to just get the hell out! I’m pretty pissed at the prospect of paying an extra $60 just to renew my license this year. Why? Because I live in TO…

Funny enough my councilor has already responded to my letter but I’ve not yet heard from my MPP. Wonder if they’re swamped with similar letters? Wonder if they even care?

Speak up. It’s your right, and your responsibility.
