On the heels of the official introduction of the Wynne government’s budget, another early election has been called after the opposition vowed they would vow against the budget. Not surprisingly, it only took hours for the three major political leaders of Ontario to start posturing.
This is a very important election for Ontario, but more so for the City of Peterborough. April’s unemployment numbers were released recently and once again they’re on the rise, topping out at 11.7%. This means that more than ever, people need to put some serious thought into who they will vote for in next month’s provincial election — and in the upcoming municipal election this fall.
Each provincial party is promising “boosts to the economy”. Most notable and laughable is the “Million Jobs Act” from Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak.
You may call me a cynic, but the only politicians capable of creating one million jobs in Ontario would have to be wizards with control over global economies.
