The Ontario election will be interesting. Ontarians seem to vote for one party Federally and another Provincially, but eight years of the current Provincial Liberals have tanked Ontario's economy and turned the province into a "Have Not" province receiving Federal Equalization payments.
Now on the eve of an election, the McGuinty government does this:

Dalton McGuinty introduces secret tax right before election
We all know it's in Dalton McGuinty's nature to raise taxes. And we all know it's in his nature to lie about taxes.
But I don't think anybody saw this blunder coming. Right before the provincial election, Tim Hudak revealed today that Dalton McGuinty has introduced another secret tax on smart meters.
As if smart meters weren't bad enough - they've increased hydro rates by 150% and they cost every household $200 to install - but now, Dalton McGuinty has added a new tax on smart meters that will cost families $132 million. This is literally a tax on McGuinty's tax machines.
To make matters worse, just like eco-taxes, the HST, and the health premium, this is a secret tax - McGuinty kept it entirely hidden. In fact, the Ontario PCs revealed that the only place this secret tax is mentioned is in the footnote in the Public Accounts document, which is four volumes of 300+ pages of government spending. Unbelievably, McGuinty couldn't even wait until after the election to raise taxes again.
Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think about McGuinty's latest tax grab.
