What New Tax Will Dalton McGuinty Surprise Us With This Time?


News

There are two major problems with Dalton McGuinty’s Speeches from the Throne. On one hand, they are always filled with major promises that he never acts on. On the other hand, they fail to include the major policies that he does act on.

This is particularly true for Dalton McGuinty’s tax increases. Dalton McGuinty’s 2003 Throne Speech failed to inform Ontario families of his plans to impose a massive $15 billion so-called ‘health’ tax. McGuinty’s 2005 Throne Speech failed to mention his plans to provide mammoth new land transfer and car tax powers to David Miller and the City of Toronto. And McGuinty’s 2007 Throne Speech failed to mention his plans to slap families and seniors with the largest sales tax increase in Ontario history – the $3 billion HST tax grab.

Ontario families, seniors, small businesses and taxpayers, will have to wait and see what tax increase was conveniently excluded from the Throne Speech this time around.

Quotes

“Oddly, whenever Dalton McGuinty writes a Throne Speech, his plans to impose massive new tax burdens on Ontario families always seem to end up on the cutting room floor. Given McGuinty’s out-of-control record of taxing and spending, he owes Ontario families an answer about what his next tax increase will be.”

– Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak

“Even the Liberal caucus was pretty glum listening to the Throne Speech. Maybe that was because it did not rule out any more surprise taxes and fee increases.”

– Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak
