The Liberals are not helping the economy get back on its feet. Read this article and see why.
During these omnipresent troubled economical times, the Ontario government has now put a hold on further funding for two potentially stimulating programs. The future does not look bright for anyone in Ontario who is planning on starting their own business. In the past year, thousands of people have been laid off from their jobs because of businesses closing down. We have a financial crisis in our province and many people are not even eligible for employment insurance. The government seems to be turning a blind eye to the problem, shutting many Ontarians out in the cold.
Most job loss has occurred in the manufacturing sector. Certain communities have been hit harder than others. The provincial government has decided to pull the plug and stop accepting any further applications from anyone wanting to pursue education and create a new business. What are the unemployed supposed to do? Because of the funding cuts, there won't even be any research carried out to explore job creation. The unemployment stats are misleading because anyone who doesn't qualify for employment insurance fall off the radar. While the numbers continue to show a decrease in unemployment rates, the reality of it hardly compares.
In light of recent reports of government funded organizations wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on programs that ultimately made zero headway in accomplishing what they started out to do, really is a slap in the face for the thousands of unemployed people of Ontario.
Perhaps we are in need of a change of government in this province, since it seems that their list of promises that remain unleashed keeps growing, and any hope of recovering from this economic downturn continues to diminish.
Anyone still working in Ontario should be very thankful for what they have. I feel badly for the one's who don't know how they are going to make ends meet, or how they are going to begin to start over.

McGuinty's Liberals roll to majority
Read this link yourself "McGuinty’s Liberals roll to majority" here.
Liberals stayed solid in their campaign focus
McGuinty had a simple campaign focusing on health care and education. Whether you work or have experienced being a patient within the healthcare system, you know how important funding is. The healthcare system has been on a steady decline for a long time, which became quite evident in the early 1990’s with a big crunch that is being felt even more now with an aging work force. He said he was going to enhance healthcare the last time he ran and he turned around and introduced a health tax. Education has also been a hurting sector and the same kind of financial issues apply here. The people of Ontario really want to believe there will be positive changes in these two very stressed and important sectors. I remember reading that McGuinty's wife is a teacher, so that should be a bonus for the educational system. After all, she is the love of his life!
I see many different needs in our province and I hope the liberal party will do right by the Ontario people as Mr. McGuinty stressed that this win was about the Ontario people.
What does a majority government mean for Ontario?
I think the people of Ontario are basically sick of government propaganda and broken promises. Tory may have had a chance at stopping the majority government, but as said before, the faith-based funding issue really freaked people out. If we can't sustain what we have already, then how would we fund other faith-based schools? I live in rural Ontario and have seen a steady decline in public school enrolment here. The catholic based school system has captured a majority of enrolment with the building of a brand new state of the art highschool in 2000. I agree with the fact that John Tory basically handed the election over to Dalton McGuinty when he said he was going to publicly fund other faith-based schools. That was a hot topic too hot to touch.
McGuinty was then able to use the segregation issue of our children to his advantage and win the majority vote. He sent powerful messages like “our children always play and sing together”, as well as asking the public if they wanted to segregate our children? This would be the case if the PC’s got in power. I really think this was the nail in the coffin for the Tory’s. The fact that John Tory retracted his original statement and proposed a vote in Queen's Park meant nothing to most people as the damage had already been done. With the liberals getting a majority government there will be little opposition for them and their agenda.
It's about the Ontario people...
It's up to McGuinty and his government to do the best for Ontario. Only over the next four years will we know for sure what this government will in fact do. Maybe next time we will also have a better attendance at the polls. What a shame that only 52% of people got out to cast their vote.
