NEWS:

Mere days after Dalton McGuinty ruled out legalizing mixed martial arts competition in Ontario, he once again has been caught backtracking when he used a Saturday morning news release sneak in a complete reversal of his position.

This is the latest example of the McGuinty Liberals backtracking on their stated priorities.  In the last few weeks alone Dalton McGuinty has been forced to backtrack on defending illegal meetings at the LHINs, ramming through a massive new eco-tax, creating a monster new SuperCorp and paying massive subsidies for solar power.

This latest McGuinty climbdown is also more evidence that the out-of-touch McGuinty Government is in complete disarray and desperate for money to fuel its out-of-control spending.  Dalton McGuinty’s MMA climbdown is the fifth cash-grab attempted by Dalton McGuinty this summer alone and follows hot on the heel of his HST tax grab, eco-tax, attempted SuperCorp sell-off, and online casino schemes.
