Tag and Save Namely, the New Democrats are back. Tag and save this article to your Del.icio.us favourites. Long a dormant force in provincial politics since being turfed from What is Del.icio.us? power in 1995, today's poll shows support for the NDP among decided voters at 19.6 per cent — or, rounded off, 20 per cent. It is the latest in a long string of polls that has put the provincial New Democrats at or above 20 per cent. In the last two provincial elections, in 1999 and 2003, the New Democrats fell to historic lows with 12.6 per cent and 14.7 per cent of the vote, respectively. Now they have returned to the 20 per cent level, their traditional floor prior to 1999. And both common sense and the polling numbers tell us that the NDP is regaining the lost ground largely at the expense of the Liberals. Any further encroachment would reduce the Liberals to minority status, or remove them from power altogether. What is the explanation for this turnaround, especially given that the NDP has the same leader (Howard Hampton) and roughly the same policies as it had in each of the last two elections? Hampton himself answered the question during an interview in his office yesterday.

  • Queen's Park Notes
    Queen’s Park notes FOLLOW US @Mobilepk For the week of March 30–April 3, 2015 LIBERALS AND TORIES SPAR OVER DIRECTION OF PROVINCIAL DEFICIT Finance Minister Charles Sousa (Mississauga South) announced the province’s deficit for 2014-15 is $10.9 billion, $1.6 billion below its target of $12.5 billion. Sousa added that these figures confirm that the Liberals are on track to balance the budget by 2017-18. In contrast, Progressive Conservative Finance critic, Vic Fedeli (Nipissing), said that since Kathleen Wynne became Premier two years ago, Ontario’s deficit has increased from $9.2 billion to $10.9 billion. Fedeli disputed Sousa’s claim that Ontario would balance its budget by 2017-18. Fedeli added, “Expert after expert, from the Ontario Chamber of Commerce to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, to the Moody’s and Fitch credit rating agencies to the Auditor have all told the Liberals they must change course. So far, we have no evidence they’re willing to do that.” Meantime, Sousa has yet to announce the date for the Ontario budget. With the announcement that the Federal government’s budget will be presented on April 21, it is expected that the Ontario budget will be announced shortly afterwards. 2014 PUBLIC SECTOR SALARY DISCLOSURE LIST RELEASED For the first time in recent memory, the release of the Public Sector Salary Disclosure (2014) list (Sunshine List) did not dominate the Legislature. In fact, not one question was asked by the opposition parties on the number of public sector employees on the 2014 disclosure list.
