    McGuinty's answer was that Ontario is the biggest job producer in the country (does he also know that Ontario is the biggest job LOSER in the country?). He said his government is reducing the Ontario Public Service by 7% (5000 jobs cut, saving us $500 million).
    He said he'll find another $200 million inside government agencies, boards and commissions by trimming the fat.
    He said there are better ways to deliver health care by providing provincially supported health care in the home. (House calls). He offered a $1500 tax credit to seniors who renovate their home in order to modify it for home health care, which will allow them to stay at home in their golden years as opposed to going to a separate old age home, where it's been reported husbands and wives are split up and sent to different homes!
    WRONG. SHAME.
    Let's eliminate that practice, shall we? For the love of God?

    McGuinty bragged about how 400 new schools and 18 new hospitals have been built under his watch, how he brought in 2900 new doctors and put up thousands of miles of transmission lines across the province.
    Andrea Horvath called him on his tax credit *bribe* saying that he had 8 years to implement such a thing and he never did.
    Only during elections does he make these tax offers. And then they never materialize...
    She also ripped him apart on the health care system in Ontario, using a scathing example of her son's visit to an emergency room.
    She will make sure that a mother who goes to emergency on a Friday night is not sitting there with her child on saturday afternoon.
    Bravo Andrea!

    Tim Hudak slammed Dalton on his health care ideas, because as every Ontarian knows, McGuinty is responsible for the absolute nightmare scandal that was E-HEALTH. A billion dollars went down the drain on that one. For jack-fucking-shit.
    Hudak said The economy only grew by 10% and the Ontario Liberal government increased spending by 80%!
    Andrea also mentioned she will cap gas prices and lower the deficit to GDP ratio. (a little muddy on how she'll do it tho. Would like to know more, but time didn't allow it)

    Question #3 was
    What specific steps will you take to help Ontarians who are living on fixed incomes who are facing financial difficulties with rising costs and taxes with goods and services?

    McGuinty said "a tax credit to renovate! We are re-building our energy systems to reduce energy bills by 10% We are looking at home care".
    He liked to mention David Suzuki's name, saying that the Great Canadian supports his energy plans, and how he's shutting down coal production.
    Someone mentions a carbon tax.....

    Horvath said "the HST was unfair. There is no way to make it up as a taxpayer, other than getting another job.We will take the HST off heating, hydro and gas. We will offer municipalities to take 50% off operating costs for more streamlined transit systems. The hours of home care will be bumped up. For 8 years McGuinty's "status quo" hasn't worked".

    Hudak said "McGuinty has got to stop listening to his Bay street friends. Smart Meters were nothing but a tax grab. He can't set priorities, that's why he takes the easy way out every time by raising taxes. It's easy to raise taxes. It's not easy to tighten your belt. Can you conserve power effectively? Most people can't. We'll offer rebates for old appliances".
