Cannot Trust the Liberals

1. Ontario Liberals support the Conservatives' plan for electricity retail market competition and deregulation.

2. Ontario Liberals support the Conservatives' plan to sell off publicly-owned electricity generating stations.

3. Ontario Liberals, like the Conservatives, refuse to commit to an immediate increase of the minimum wage to $7.50.

4. Until the by-election, the Ontario Liberals were completely silent on saving the Ontario Northlands Railway. Although invited, they didn't even ride the Survival Express in April 2001.

5. Ontario Liberals and Conservatives both refuse to oppose all shipment of PCBs to Northern Ontario.

6. Ontario Liberals and Conservatives both oppose banning the use of strike-breakers.

7. In 1992 Dalton McGuinty introduced legislation to ban the right to strike for teachers, except in summer. Now he says he's changed his mind. What does he really believe?

8. The federal Liberals and the Ontario Conservatives have both failed to provide adequate funding for Medicare and have both slashed funding to colleges and universities.

9. The Ontario Liberals refuse to commit to eliminating Mike Harris' tax breaks for the wealthiest people in Ontario.

10. Dalton McGuinty is trying to have it both ways on private school funding. "The Liberal leader now says money for religion-based educational institutions should be made available, just not right away." (NOW Magazine, May 24, 2001)

THE RECORD IS CLEAR - THE LIBERALS AGREE WITH THE CONSERVATIVES ON MOST MAJOR ISSUES.
