How Doug Ford S Budget Sets The Tone For His Ontario Pc Campaign

The move is reflected in the Ontario budget tabled Thursday by Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy, which he described as “Prime Minister Ford’s vision”. This “vision” is in fact less of a provincial budget than a progressive conservative electoral platform. In case of doubt, Bethlenfalvy chanted the “Get it done” campaign slogan at least 10 times during his budget speech. Also, a few minutes after the end of the speech, the parliamentary term was postponed for a long time after the June 2 elections, so the budget will not pass if the PCs do not win the majority. Beyond the slogans, the tone and budget messages seem to have been created to reassure Ontario voters that Ford and computers are not just willing to spend the money they need on critical government services, but actually want to spend them. spend, to the extent that they actually forecast a deficit higher than each of the last two years of the pandemic. It also appears to be an attempt to convince voters that Ford has changed since the COVID-19 pandemic and that cutting government spending is no longer a major concern for computers.

In 2018, the dominant theme of Ford’s campaign was that the government spent too much. Some formations since then:

“The party with the taxpayer’s money is over.” “People are sick and tired of paying taxes, they spend they spend they spend.” “We will put money back in the pocket of the taxpayers instead of in the pocket of the government.”

Ford’s dominant theme for 2022 seems to be that government spending is exactly what Ontario needs. “Over the next three years, our plan will see spending increase by an average of five percent a year, with significant investments in healthcare, education and vital infrastructure,” Bethlenfalvy said in a speech. During a press conference at Queen’s Park on Thursday, I asked the Treasury Secretary about this opposition and whether his party was wrong to campaign so hard in 2018 with the idea that the government is spending too much. “Clearly, the pandemic has revealed part of the lack of investment from – I will be very blunt – the NDP – backed Liberals,” Bethlenfalvy said.

“I think we are very wise to invest in healthcare and education and vital infrastructure,” Bethlenfalvy continued. “This is what the people of Ontario want.” It’s one thing all the major parties will agree on, that the people of Ontario want to invest in health care and education and long-term care and transit. The poll told them. Now the parties have to convince the Ontario voters that they are the best to offer. The NDP and the Liberals will try to sow the seeds of doubt that computers will actually spend what they need. “Doug Ford will return immediately to reduce the minute this election ends, if we give him the chance,” Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath told a news conference Thursday. According to the limited number of NDPs, the budget proposes to spend $ 2.7 billion less than what inflation would justify over the next three years. CLOCKS Computer table pre-election budget:

The opinion of Ontario Liberal leader Steven Del Duca is that Ford’s vision is not bold enough. “The lack of ambition for Ontario is breathtaking,” said Del Duca. “Not a new idea to improve our schools or provide better care for our seniors.” However, after 15 years in power in Ontario, the Liberals will have to overcome the perception that they were the ones responsible for leaving healthcare and long-term care systems on the brink, with hospitals overcrowded and waiting lists c years long, so that when the pandemic struck, they could not cope. “They had 15 years to do these things,” said Bethlenfalvy. “How many long-term care beds did they build? How many new hospitals did they build? How many subways were built?” The desire to look like manufacturers is why Ford and his ministers have spent the last two months in a state of campaign, making almost daily announcements about every future hospital and long-term care plan the government has in the works, no matter how long done before construction actually begins. That’s why Ford re-announced its plans for transportation to the greater Toronto area, stuck a ritual shovel in the ground for the Ontario Line subway, and pressed the ritual switch to start tunneling in its extension to its Eglinton West which is not yet operational Crosstown LRT. , all the last few weeks. They are all designed to send the message of momentum, of building what Ontario needs to get out of the pandemic. What can be lost in the tornado of the campaign is the fact that the Ford Government’s budget for such projects over the next 10 years ($ 159 billion) is actually less than the 10-year plan set by the Liberals in 2018 (182 billion). dollars). . The Ford administration’s election budget “is completely devoid of the kind of ambition I know the Ontario people have for our province,” said Ontario Liberal leader Steven Del Duca.
