Interesting post by Globe blogger Andrew Steele on Ontario’s recent infrastructure spending announcement.
Steele writes: “Between now at 2011, the McGuinty Liberals will be spending $27.5-BILLION on roads, transit, hospitals and schools over the next two years. In contrast, the Harper budget — for all its profligacy — only devotes $5-billion to Ontario infrastructure over the same time period.
“Let me put this into context. In their last full year in office, 2002-03 the Harris-Eves Progressive Conservatives spent about $1.8-billion on capital. Ontario is now budgeting almost TEN times as much in the critical investments that make our province run.”
One Response to “ McGuinty outdoes Harper on infrastructure spending ”
Why are you telling us this? In the end the govt does what the govt wants. We all know McGuinty & the Libs don’t know what the hell they are doing but who do you think is going to help this province. Horvath? PC? All these govt figures are there for one reason and that is to line their pockets while in office and line them while they are out. You think Madoff concocted a great ponzi scheme, this is the greatest of them all because it never ends.
Thnx for the info though and nail McGuinty a little harder.
