Editorial: McGuinty’s hydro bait-and-switch
Ontario’s economic update is in – and the provincial Liberals’ desperation level clearly is up. In advance of the update, provincial Finance Minister Dwight Duncan already had leaked the Liberals’ plan to cut Hydro bills by 10% for five years by using $1-billion in borrowed money. That populist sop would be ill-advised under any circumstances, but especially so given Ontario’s projected 2010 deficit of $18.7-billion.

Laggard Ontario

The Ontario government will be tabling its fall economic statement in the legislature on Thursday. Premier Dalton McGuinty, who has been seemingly unaware of the impact of his energy and economic policies on the province’s economy, would do well to take heed from the danger signs provided by another update – the recent Statistics Canada update to provincial GDP numbers.

Tribunal has some flaws
By Howard Levitt
Heralded by the McGuinty government as the protector of human rights in Ontario, the Human Rights Tribunal was to have ushered in a new era. Unlike the Human Rights Commission before it, the government assured us the Tribunal would efficiently process complaints and ensure fair hearings for employers and employees alike.

Ontario to bribe its power-shocked voters
By Terence Corcoran
This cannot be true. News reports say the Ontario government is going to bring in a new Clean Air Benefit, a payment to electricity consumers to help reduce their soaring electricity bills. In an economic statement Thursday, Finance Minister Dwight Duncan is apparently going to announce the Clean Air Benefit as a bold response to the growing realization across the province that Ontario’s electricity sector is a fiscal runaway train.

The high cost of ‘conservation’
By Parker Gallant
In June, 2006, Dwight Duncan was Ontario’s Minister of Energy and about to launch a new green initiative for Ontario’s electricity sector, the Conservation Demand Management (CDM) program. The objective was to get Ontario consumers to reduce their peak demand for electricity via conservation.

Debtor’s prison for dads

Last week Ontario announced it will begin impounding cars of fathers who fall behind in their child support payments. What, are mere licence suspensions not driving enough men to despair?

McGuinty’s election train off the tracks
By Christina Blizzard
Politics is an extreme blood sport. When things are good, they’re great. Politicians walk on air. They exude that golden glow of success. They can do no wrong. When things are bad, it seems nothing can pull them out of the slump. And right now, things are going very badly for Premier Dalton McGuinty.

Courts get a new way to discriminate against fathers
By Barbara Kay
“They throw guys in jail for non-support all the time, and when they do, the guys serve the whole 30, 60 or 90-day sentence (the term keeps lengthening), even though cocaine dealers routinely get out of jail after serving half their time.”

Emergency room moved to parking lot at Ontario hospital
By Lee Greenberg
TORONTO — An overcrowded Ontario hospital has moved some of its overflow emergency room operations to an unlikely location — the parking lot. The Credit Valley hospital, in suburban Mississauga, said it renovated an ambulance bay to accommodate “spikes” in demand like those that happened during the H1N1 pandemic in 2009. The renovations include “heating and other necessary utilities for patient care,” according to an email from Krista Finlay, a hospital spokeswoman.
