Ontario to become a police state under McGuinty?

When McGuinty asks us to call his toll-free snitch line if we find illegal private health care, you wonder if we are becoming a police state under his regime.

Last Saturday at the Ukrainian Independence Day Festival in Etobicoke, McGuinty talked about freedom from authoritarian regimes, but his actions make us believe that doesn’t apply to us.

Is Dalton McGuinty suggesting that anyone making a profit on healthcare is committing a crime? And should be reported to the government like a common criminal? Doesn’t he realize that some smaller private health care clinics might be able to take care of smaller health problems quicker and much cheaper and still make a profit, and still bill OHIP for the job? Most economists will tell you that private enterprise can generally do everything better, quicker and cheaper than the government. Especially a government that has already screwed up as many things as McGuinty's did.

If you listen to McGuinty, only the fat cats in his government, the wind turbine and solar panel companies owned by his frieds and the unions are permitted to make a profit in Ontario. Since Dalton McGuinty came to power, the number of wind turbines in Ontario has increased from 10 to 900. They are costly and inefficient.

McGuinty should listen to his own rhetoric. Did he forget that companies and individuals who don’t earn a profit aren’t required to pay the high taxes to reduce his large deficits? Profits are not a dirty word, Mr. McGuinty. Profits are necessary to motivate people to innovate, to produce better products and to stimulate our sagging economy, especially Ontario’s sagging manufacturing sector that lost nearly 300,000 jobs since McGuinty became Premier. Without profits there won’t be jobs and without profit nothing happens.
