Why do politicians lie? To protect you

VICTOR DE JONG INTERROBANG It’s an unfortunate reality in politics that leaders say one thing and do another. In his 2003 campaign, Dalton McGuinty locked eyes with Ontarians and promised not to raise taxes. A short time later, the annual health tax was introduced. The situation seems blatantly obvious: McGuinty is a liar like every politician and there’s no point in listening to what they say. Wrong. Unfortunately, we are the problem. It was just a few weeks ago that, London City Council passed the city budget which cut $1 million per year from London’s affordable housing fund, reduced funding for the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and diverted funds from the strategic reserves. All of these actions were so the City could meet Joe Fontana’s prom- ise of a zero per cent tax increase. Now, on one hand, it’s admirable that a politician fol- lowed through on a promise, but what is it really going to cost in the long run? CTV News reported that by cutting the aforemen- tioned services, the average household was saving just $7 per year. London residents voted in a candidate based partly on his promise to freeze taxes and that’s extremely unrealistic. There’s no doubt that if it were possible, people would vote for a freeze on the price of gas at, say, $1 per litre. However, if the freeze were over a period of five years, more and more resources would need to be diverted from other services to make up the deficit created by the freeze. If London taxpayers really wanted to have their taxes lowered at the cost of services, I’m sure a candidate would The death of farming: arise proposing a 10 per cent slash in prop- erty taxes and the elimination of garbage pickup.
