TimminsToday.com received the following letter from Jay Cornelsen about the coming provincial election.
The NDP and Liberal candidates keep talking about Hudak's bad math.
It is the bad math of those two parties which will downgrade the provinces credit rating, further eroding investor and business confidence in a province badly in need of manufacturing investment.
As Steve Black, the PC candidate pointed out, it is the giant provincial debt of $270 billion with $10 billion a year going to pay interest alone, now borrowing another 12 billion dollars in campaign promises to buy the support of Ontario unions with voter's own money that is making Ontario a financial pariah in the world.
Much like Detroit City became an investment black hole before they went bankrupt because their politicians were self interested and corrupt.
Their math is even worse for northern Ontario city tax payers.
While stating they will not increase taxes on the middle class, the cost of their campaign promises will be double downloaded on northern communities and individual homeowners.
Under Bisson's watch the Liberals slowly cut back then completely eliminated our Connecting Links Program, a fund the city depended on as a source for roads and provincial highway upkeep that run through our city.
Timmins already has the largest property tax increase in northeastern Ontario at close to 3 percent this year after seeing an increase of $10 million over the past eight years.
With nothing but borrowed money in the provincial treasury I suspect Timmins and our sister cities will receive the short end of the stick once again and we might see close to 6% increase in our property taxes next year if we are lucky.
And the city will not be able to do anything about it!
Particularly because Bisson will have no say or influence not being part of the ruling party…. again!
No, Hudak may fall short a few jobs of the one million promised but by proper budgeting and cutting out of bloated expenses Ontario will once again be an attractive place for business and manufacturing investment.
But with the free-borrowing Liberals and no dime left unspent NDP policies, northerners will receive a double whammy over our Southern neighbours.
A whopping 44-percent increase in our hydro bills to start, to pay for the horrific money spent on the Liberal and NDP supported for their science fantasy, out of the sky Green Energy Plan.
Our southern politicians and Bisson seem to forget the north pays two to three times in hydro and natural gas bills.
Bad math for Timmins homeowners is to vote Bisson back in so we all can be forced to pay double right out of our pockets for his non-representation and betrayals to his home town consistently siding with the Liberals against northern interests.
Gilles will say he had to vote with his party.
No!
Gilles was the party whip, his job was to insure all his members voted with the Liberals and their destructive dismantling of Northern Ontario urged on by their purist environmental backers.
An alien from the moon could have done a better job representing this riding than Bisson.
Bisson is complicit in aiding Wynne to create her personal Legacy, expanding multi-billion dollar Toronto subways and buying expensive office buildings like MaRS Phase 2 to house more and more bureaucrats with expensive borrowed taxpayers money.
She is taking the invaluable provincial gas tax fund to give dependable funding for her pet Toronto projects while Bisson sits idly by knowing no one is going to listen to him anyway! At least half this fund should be given to northern communities. He should be screaming bloody hell!
Wake up Timmins! This time voting for Bisson will cost you right out of your wallets for decades to come. Steve Black has shown during his time on council he is not a rubber stamp or a party first man, but one who will stand up end defend his community. Wouldn't it be refreshing to finally have some one like that representing Timmins James Bay!
