Hudak...Give Your Head A Smack

The Ontario Conservatives have again brought a selfish view to politics by their actions in the past week. This week Opposition Leader MPP Hudak announced his opposition to the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax....AGAIN. In addition on Thursday multiple Conservative MPP's were thrown out of the legislature for not acting in a professional manner.

All this because the Conservative MPP's cannot put Ontario ahead of partisan attitudes. The Conservative MPP's do not see the HST as something that will help the struggling Ontario economy. They do not see it as a way out of the recession. They do NOT see the HST as a way to make Ontario more competitive. The Conservative MPP's at Queens Park see this as a way for them to grab votes and sway support from McGuinty's Liberals to Hudak's Conservatives.

Yet the Conservative leader announced when he was Finance Critic a few months ago that "There are a number of models for harmonizing the PST and GST, ranging from full harmonization ... to various ''made in Ontario" models that allow for certain products to remain exempt from the PST portion of the harmonized tax,''. Hudak and his Conservative cronies know that the HST is a good thing and that it has to happen in Ontario. Their meaningless tactics to try and bring in partisan feelings and opinions into the HST debate will only hurt Ontarians. As listed before on this blog, the Conservative Party on the federal level are in complete support of the introduction of the HST. British Columbia is also harmonizing along with Ontario. The Ontario Conservatives are attempting to destroy one of the greatest things that could ever happen to Ontario and its economy.

My message to Hudak and the Conservatives...Put your partisan politics aside and give your head a shake...quit playing games and find another issue to jump on...the HST is a good thing for Ontarians, and it WILL be implemented in July of 2010.
