Good Bye Dear Dalton

Dear Dalton,

Hope you enjoyed your stay. Remember your trip through Ontario with fond memories. Or should I say your second trip? When we invited you you said you wouldn't increase our taxes. Remember? Within six months you had broken this promise and imposed a new health premium, but of course this was that Mike Harris fella's fault right? What did we get for this new premium? You eliminated OHIP coverage for eye exams and physical therapy? Who needs to see right?

During your second visit you decided to harmonize the PST and the GST. Many saw the logic in this, after all you were going to exempt any items that weren't currently taxed under both systems right? Wrong! Much better to enjoy that extra tax revenue! And what about the eco tax? Why wouldn't we all want to pay even MORE tax on items such as hairspray, detergent, batteries etc.?

Finally, you were thinking about banning the Double Down sandwich from KFC? Good thinking! I mean we all know the citizens of Ontario can't think for themselves right? Good thing we have Uncle Dalton along to do that for us!

So once again, hope you enjoyed your stay. I think it's time to go now though. Please don't forget to close the door on your way out.
