Oh, Great! ... Hudak would put skilled immigrants on the fast track to live and work in the province while targeting students, seniors, teachers for budget cuts!

According to the Toronto Sun Newspaper, Hudak's Progressive Conservatives would speed up the citizenship application process for "talented" individuals in Ontario universities. 

"If there's a top student at University of Toronto from India who is at the head of the engineering program, I want to offer her an accelerated path to citizenship to live in this country, to get a good job here," Hudak said Tuesday.

 "If there's a top student at medical school at Queen's University from China, let's offer an accelerated path to make this the new home and work in our medical system. Let's say Ontario's actually open again for the best and the brightest in our schools to make them permanent residents and then citizens of this great country."

Meanwhile he is proposing to increase the current 20-student class-size cap (up to Grade 3) to 23 children, and from grades 4 to 8, the cap average would jump from 24.5 students to 26 and in high school classes would rise from 22 to 24.

Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne’s promised raises for Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario members and early childhood education educators would also be cancelled.

In addition, the Liberals’ 30 per cent tuition grant for most Ontario college and university students would be eliminated.

And, as for seniors, the people who for the most part built this country, the “healthy homes renovation tax credit” that pays senior citizens up to $1,500 to improve bathrooms and stairs to enable them to remain in their houses longer — and out of costly long-term care facilities — would be axed.

However, Hudak isn’t all cuts. As part of his so-called “Million Jobs Plan,” he is proposing a reduction in the corporate profit tax—e.g. banks, oil companies, auto manufacturers, etc.—from 11.5% to 8%. (For comparison, I pay 18% tax on my income.)

 As most of you will recognize this is the old ‘Trickle-Down’ theory of job creation. Broadly speaking, this is a model of how it works—or most often not:-
