Our New Government at Work

Dress code for Ont. Legislature



Obviously Ms Smith has nothing else to occupy her time. Too bad the Liberals weren't spending their effort tackling the budget deficit that they're using as a very large broom to sweep all of their election promises under the rug. Too bad Ontario doesn't have the same recall provisions that some states have.



My nephew spent some time as a provincial page in the Legislative Assembly. It's not the dress code that shows a lack of respect: it's the general conduct of the losers elected to public office who really have nothing to do until the next provincial election. Buncha jibbering overpaid do-nothing monkeys (yeah, I know. I'm insulting monkeys...)



Opportunistic grandstanding, but you have to give him points for style.

Let's see the list of broken promises this government has acquired:

---

Promise: No development on Oak Ridges moraine
Result: Development on Oak Ridges moraine

---

Promise: No private hospitals. (Stupid promise in my mind. Yet another sacred cow that should be taken behind the woodshed and given both barrels. But it was a promise.)
Result: public-private partnership agreements to build two new hospitals in Ottawa and Brampton

---

Promise: 4.3 cent per kilowatt hour price cap on hydro rates until 2006. (Stupid commitment made by the previous government. But still a promise)
Result: Higher rates this spring.

---

Promise: a cap of 20 students on classes from junior kindergarten to Grade 3
Result: Undelivered, yet unbroken.


And this is less than 3 months into their mandate. Yet they have time to fart around about the colour of someone's tie and whether or not a MPP can wear cowboy boots or not.
