Bob Rae was despised by the left for bringing in "Rae Days" to curb government spending, yet you blame him?
absolutely
He naively brought in union friendly legislation that has haunted the Ont govt ever since.
it was only after he granted this legislative gift to the unions and a recession that he figured out the govt could not afford the price of the gift
The unions figured
they owned him and that he owed them for getting elected.
The unions did not, do not and never will concern themselves with the financial stability of the provinces finances
He tried to restrain the spending via "Rea Days" and his former union friends turned on him.
Why do you think he switched from NDP to liberal ?
The vast majority of any govt spending is on personnel cost, the public sector union employees' represent the majority of personal cost
That union friendly legislation has been abused by the public sector unions ever since
And the province has struggled with deficit spending ever since
its no secret where a lot of the borrowed $400 B debt has gone
you can clearly see where Rea, Dalton the Dummy and Granny Wynne borrowed and accumulated massive debt
you can also clearly see when Rea's disastrous union friendly legislation turned Ont into a debt dependent
Ford's right wing government is economically far worse than Dalton or Wynne, and more importantly he is in power NOW and forcing an unnecessary election NOW. But you're still harping on Dalton.... sad AND pathetic.
What is pathetic is your economic understanding
Any idiot can borrow without restraint and have a great time, especially if they get to leave the responsibility of their massive debt to the next chump to hold the job.
If you want to find fault with Ford (and we know how desperate you are to find fault with him) it is for being that next chump.
Sound economic governance includes sound debt management and
leaving the provincial balance sheet in good order for future generations
Rea, Dalton the Dummy and Granny Wynne all completely failed their economic governance responsibilities.
absolute unquestionable, undeniable failure
The massive debt has gone past the tipping point
if Ontario loses the auto industry to the US, a provincial debt default is assured.
But hey, if you run into financial trouble you can always drive up to a union leaders mansion and ask for a few bucks, if you can get past the security gates and guard dogs
Perhaps then you might just realize what is pathetic
for now you will just pretend all of the above is not true, insult me or leave behind a childish laughing imoji
and that is pathetic
