How much more of Dalton McGuinty's reckless spending can we take!

Have you read the Toronto Sun's assessment of all-day kindergarten's cost? [See: The real cost of all-day kindergarten by Moira McDonald]. This was one of "Goosee McGuinty's" pet, $1.5B projects in 2010 which was billed (in McGuinty fashion) as a long-term investment that would give kids an academic boost. Moreover, in last year’s provincial election, the Liberals told parents the program would save them $6,500 a year in childcare costs! And that's the point ... It's a thinly disguised, $1.5 billion dollar DAYCARE program!

But the $1.5B is just the start. Read on:

Retrofitting and construction has been needed to keep up with the expansion, after two years of squeezing the larger, extra kindergarten-friendly classrooms the program requires into existing space. The provincial government has so far allocated $1.4 billion to cover capital costs.

Now, according to my calculations that $2.9 billion dollars--So far. But the insult to injury doesn't stop there. Last week this vote-sniffing premier pointed out difficult trade-offs must be made.

“We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and roll out full-day kindergarten,” McGuinty told reporters. “We can’t afford that.”

Well, Mr. Premier, we can't afford you and all the other financial boondoggles you've steered us into. So, for God's sake man, do the honourable thing and step down.
