Since coming to Queen's Park Dalton Mcguinty's administration has been to Senior Citizenry what a Lamprey Eel is to a Lake Trout!
Make 'em pay - The first thing he did upon taking office was to rescind a seniors' property tax emption already passed into law by Ernie Eves.
Keep them in the dark - The second thing he did was to remove the kph ceiling on hydro electric power, thus increasing heating costs by double in come cases.
A bitter pill to swallow - The third item was to introduce a so-called "Health Premium"--read "Health Tax," making my generation of seniors the first to pay for health benefits after the age of 65. PS. I recently sat 8 hours in EMS to get a prescription!
Our 'Hero' ...? - And who can forget his courageous stand in apposition to the auto insurance companies to limit premium increases to 10%--or else! The 'or else' was that they would get to share in some generous benefits which McGuinty was holding out to them. Some 'or else,' considering that the insurance companies had already raised premiums about 30% in the previous three-or-so years!
More to come when I can find the time.
