Are Ontarians Pocketbooks in McGuinty's Sights Again?

With the Conservative budget released, one can only wonder if Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has his eyes on Ontarians' Pocketbooks once again. McGuinty, who promised during his election campaign that he would not raise taxes introduced the infamous "Ontario Health Tax" which costs the average Ontario family aproximately $690/yr, as well as cancelling income tax cuts which would have saved the average family about $240.38/yr.

Unfortunately, with many tax-cuts announced under the new Conservative government, McGuinty seems to be thinking of raising taxes again. When asked whether or not McGuinty intended to raise taxes again to offset the federal savings, the Premier was silent.

The Liberal government is continuing to tax more and deliver less. It is unclear whether Ontarian's will even benefit from the federal tax cuts or whether McGuinty will tax the savings back. We Ontarian's should be very concerned, I think McGuinty's dreaming of our dollars again.
