Among other things, Ernie Eves called him and his promises naive, and some of Ills colleagues have used adjectives like integrity and honesty to describe him, but like him or lump him, thanks to a landslide vote and a whopping 72 seats with a 46.5 per cent of the popular vote, Dalton McGuinty is Ontario's new pre- mier. The question of whether or not he's up to the job still remains, however, and the frightening aspect of this election Is that Ontario could've potentially given the reigns of a majority government to some- one whose inexperience could cause a fair amount of damage to Ontario. Financially, one of the concerns surrounding McGuinty's promise is its inflexibility, as it doesn't prepare for the various unknown possibilities that could occur witliin Ontario over ttie course of a few years. For example, McGuinty promised that he would neither raise nor lower taxes, and promised that our tax dollars would go first and foremost towards a financial tourniquet to stem the blood flow caused by the Tory-inflicted wounds to our ailing health and education systems. . To further emphasize his commitment, McGuinty signed a taxpayer protection promise orchestrated by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) effectively committing himself and his party to abide by the Taxpayer Protection and Balanced Budget Act. Specifically, he signed a promise that lie wouldn't run a deficit, and that he'd avoid tax increases or implementation of new taxes witliout Ontario voter consent, which could only be gained through a province-wide referendum. By doing so he's denied his government one of the most reliable key factors in capital generation; which will force his government to find alternative sources of revenue that are both reliable and stable, or cut spending to balance the budget. And the spending cuts will certainly not be coming from his own pock- et or the pockets of his cabinet ministers, but from the already-strained social programs. In addition, the wisdom of a premier who limits his government's ability to raise funds without tak- ing into account the state of the world's affairs, with the ever-present possibility of a terrorist attack and the economic drought caused by the recent SARS troubles, is questionable. It would seem that McGuinty hadn't considered the possible future demands on Ontario's finances. Another potential example of McGuinty's naivete could be the platform promise sold to students and faculty regarding post-secondary tuition. The Liberal government is planning a two-year tuition freeze while a new plan that will benefit both staff and stu- dents is forged. But what compensation will there be for college and universities during the two-year slack promise that the new Liberal government will pro- to be the most reasonable, enough concerns remain period as inflation rates continue to escalate? duce a better plan than the existing one, making the surrounding their promises, to suggest that giving In the short term, students will enjoy the two-year tuition aspect of the Liberal platform a gamble at McGuinty a majority government wasn't the best tuition freeze financially, as it means that more best, and potentially producing a sizeable gulf idea. money will remain in their pockets, but the quality between today's education standards and those of of the education they're purchasing will decline as two years from the start of the freeze.
