So let me get this straight.
31% pay and benefits increase right before Christmas.
3-month Christmas break.
Additional increase of 2% on the new salary because the Feds got one and there’s a clause stating the provincial guys get the same raise
4-month summer break
Various bans, some backpedalled, some not.
Legislation drafted with so many flaws that some bills required hundreds of amendments – many from within the Liberal caucus
Scandals and corruption – Sorbara, Takar, Caplan, Colle – all cabinet ministers under the cloud of scandal
I can’t go on, it’s too infuriating.
McGuinty can spin all he likes – I think he’s toast. Of course Fiberals are slippery and will lie to get elected. I just hope they don’t fool too many people who live in la-la land again.
Hehehe. Just to keep this all fresh in the minds of voters, I’m going to get a t-shirt and fabric marker and make a Liberals Legacy t-shirt, listing as many broken promises and inane initiatives as I can, and wear it to public events.
