Fix that spin

So the Ontario government is proposing new solutions for the huge deficit the province has and in doing so will be pissing off the left, the right and the centre. Now that is a feat. Let's sell off bits of the LCBO (one of the bigger government money makers), bring back photo radar (boo), let go of TVO (poor Polkaroo!), expand the tax on prepared meals to cover those that cost less than $4 (wha? Punishing the frugal? I realize it's an anti-fast food thing, but since when is the government my mother?) and actually sell things like hyrdo and water for their objective value (something that is a good idea but has been previously opposed by the Liberal government). The left will be more pissed off than anyone as most of these ideas are former PC proposals. Maybe the Liberals can pull it off, I don't know. But if they're going to, they need to hire new writers. Case in point:the best part of the proposed plan were the vague and basically retarded statements made towards the health care system:

"The health-care system would be transformed to focus on keeping people well, providing services outside of hospitals, and using teams of professionals to care for citizens. It will also be modernized by creating electronic health records."

Yes, because the health care system has always been focused killing people. And professionals? Heck no. The Health care system has tried its best to ensure that only the most inept, ham-fisted morons with sloth-like intelligence provide care for the sick. Finally, a government with a solution to those problems. Oh and Dalton, do your homework. We already have electronic health records. Asshat.

On an interactive note, apparently Ontarians are going to get their say on an on-line Budget Town Hall. So I emplore all Ontario citzens to get involved in their government. Things do need to change. Grab the government by the short hairs and make a difference.
