McGuinty Strikes again

When the heck will Ontarians wise up and stop voting this idiot in?

In McGuinty's latest outrage inducing moment, he once again governs only by regulation. This is the only way Dalton knows how to govern, by introducing retard legislation.

The bill is so bad it's laughable. Energy Minister George Smitherman claims that the new regulations will create 50,000 new "green" jobs. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but this job creation is born on the backs of joe the taxpayer. The Ontario government is creating an artificial demand for a new trade.

I personally have little faith in the numbers of this bill, by their own admission the numbers are scant (as in non-existent), but the Ontario Liberals claim they will create fifty thousand new jobs, and hydro costs will be kept to only a 1% increase despite 5 billion in upgrades ordered.

This is a magical farce.

The government is not in the business of creating an artificial demand for an industry. If people are worried about the energy efficiency of a house they are about to buy, they can make the energy audit a pre-condition to sale and hire an auditor. This is just like how it works for home inspections if someone is worried about the roof or the foundation. What is difference?

The housing market's hole wasn't deep enough for Pencil Neck (5'perimiter)so he now created a black hole. Ontario will not recover!
Diaperman did not notify the Ontario Real Estate Board and the contractors, they are not very happy to say the least

We can't get rid of McGuinty until we have an alternative and Tory is not an alternative.

I heat my very drafty yet beautiful 150 year old farm house with wood ,harvested from my 100 acres. Personally I think our family is very green,not using hydro to keep warm,and in the summer we open windows or draw the curtains to stay cool. Get away from my home,get away from wallet and lower business taxes you morons!

Pettitji nails it! Sure McGuinty will create 50,000 jobs.There will be 49,500 new beurocrats that will regulate 500 guys that used to build decks after they lost their other jobs who will now become green auditors if they can come up with 25,000 $ for green equipment and a liberal party membership.
