4. TOP 10 REASONS NOT TO VOTE NDP
1. NDP believes in taxing corporations. Ontario is less competitive today due to carbon tax, high hydro rates, more regulations, etc. NDP anti-
business and will focus on growing size of government
2. NDP wants to buy back Hydro One. Proceeds to buy back Hydro One could be double to triple the cost -

3. NDP will not restructure government including compensation and pensions - https://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/human-
resources/wages-higher-in-public-sector-than-private-in-ontario-says-fraser-institute-183470/
4. NDP has not balance a budget in over 20+ years. NDP was fiscal nightmare in AB and SK
5. NDP could bring back Rae Days - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/former-ont-premier-bob-rae-defends-rae-days-1.3988510
6. NDP caucus members and candidates seldom have background in business and finance. Many are union reps, teachers, lawyers and activist
7. NDP will not fixed a broken arbitration system in Ontario - https://www.oshawachamber.com/reforming-ontarios-broken-interest-

8. Andrea Horwath supported liberal budgets in the past that included Automotive Insurance cuts -

call this a stretched target https://www.ontariondp.ca/news/wynne%E2%80%99s-latest-auto-insurance-stretch-goal-gives-families-no-hope-
rates-will-come-down-ndp
9. NDP supports carbon tax even though carbon tax do not work - https://globalnews.ca/news/3097838/cap-and-trade-to-cost-people-business-
8b-in-first-years-auditor/
10. NDP believes taxing the rich and giving to the poor. The problem is that handouts are not free if someone else is paying for it

about in terms of success.

7. PETER JULIAN AND CORPORATE TAX
• Wow! I see Peter is back with his misinformation. FYI - There are tax laws, right? If you have
an issue the push for more tax treaties and/or changes to tax act.
• The good news is the NDP has no chance of forming the govt at the federal level. BTW: We
seen what happens when NDP tries to tax business to death, right? All you have to do is look
at AB

the mess @RachelNotley left in AB!
1. Canada is ranked 24th in the world on the environment
2. Canada is a carbon sink
3. Canada has some of the toughest water laws in the world
4. Canada air quality is some of the best in the world
5. Canada oil sector is one of the most environmental and ethical oil produced in the world.

20. NDP / ONTARIO
• Ontario – Bob Rae
• Junior Partner with David Petersen from 1985-1987
• Ontario Premier from October 1, 1990 until June 26, 1995
• Budget Balances
• Economic Growth
• For the periods 1990-1995 & 1995-2000, Ontario’s real per capita GDP grew at -0.9% and 3.3% respectively. For
the period 2000-2010, it shrank at -0.3%.
• NDP did nothing in the 1990s to help the economy expand
• Key policies

21. BOB RAE / NDP
• NDP – bob Rae
• Ontario’s economy is growing at clip of 2.1% which is slow growth or about 1/2 off the 1990s
growth. @andreahorwath feels the economy can absorb more tax. Bob Rae felt the same way in
the 1990s as such his approach led to nothing but slow growth and stagnation.

Mulcair must be using the CLC for his analysis. CLC is very reliable as they said there is 100,000 employees that make minimum wage for federal regulated business. Yet, I foun
out that number is nowhere to being close to real number. So, if they cannot get this number right then does he have the labor facts, right?
http://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/federal-minimum-wage-canada
Facts on labor policies
1. Fact 1 – Employment – All I see from your comments is opinion and no facts. It seems you call me a troll, right? The only reason people call me a troll is they cannot
defend their opinion with facts, right? Let me crunch a few things based on the below links –
a. Since 2010 there has been 722K full-time jobs and 118K part-time jobs created in Canada. So, 86% of the new jobs are full-time. So, where is the 80% number y
quoting coming from in terms of its accuracy?
b. The main sector of growth are the following sectors
i. Accommodation/food services approximately 98K
ii. Healthcare approximately 249K – this ties to more money being spent on healthcare by provinces to support need for additional services
iii. Professional jobs approximately 170K
iv. Construction approximately 220K – does this not benefit skill trades and tied to the housing market being solid in Canada
v. Summary:
1. The bulk of jobs are in areas that pay good salaries. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/labor93a-eng.htm. The only
sector that would see the bulk of minimum wage would be accommodation/services.
2. Food/Services jobs are created due to people spending money on meals and entertainment and travel - http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-
tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/trad15a-eng.htm or https://www.restaurantscanada.org/Portals/0/Non-

c. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/econ10-eng.htm
2. Ontario has its’ own issue, but they are not driven by federal policies. They are from bad policies, like FIT or Regulations or other bad policies. So, I guess comments fro
the following people are wrong, right? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/ontario-policies-could-put-auto-making-at-risk-fiat-chrysler-ceo-
warns/article25418311/ (Is this guy wrong?) or why did Cliff Resources pull out (http://www.baytoday.ca/content/news/details.asp?c=73707) or How do you think ORP
is going to impact business (http://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2015/06/02/business-warns-against-wynnes-pension-plan.html)

1. In theory when you have two quarters of drop in GDP then it is deem a recession. The difference with this recessions there
are strong economic indicators that show the recession is non event, i.e. job growth, housing starts, exports and consumer
spending - http://www.gbm.scotiabank.com/English/bns_econ/cmsr150709.pdf

30. HORWATH AND WYNNE
Source - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/horwath-says-ndp-will-support-ontario-liberal-budget-1.1313748
Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says the party will support the ruling Liberals' budget,
avoiding a spring election.
Horwath made the comment Tuesday while speaking at a news conference at Queen's Park.
She said although the NDP did not get everything it wanted, it was enough to offer its support
to the Liberal Party.
"We are prepared to support this budget within a process that ensures the financial
accountability office legislation is passed into law early this fall," Horwath said. "We will pass
this budget based on the commitments this government has made and we will remain vigilant
to ensure their promises are kept."
On Friday, Premier Kathleen Wynne agreed to the NDP's call for an independent financial
accountability officer and new accountability measures in the health-care system.
• Horwath supported the budgets means she supported Wynne’s policies
• Insurance Premiums did no come down -

https://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorials/2012/02/15/drummond_report_don_dr
ummond_recommends_a_radical_overhaul_to_get_ontario_back_to_balanced_bu
End Ontario’s unaffordable $1.1 billion electricity rebate. Kill a $334 million horse racing subsidy. Do
more to collect $1 billion in outstanding provincial offences fines. These are among the no-brainers that
any government facing a $16 billion deficit should be doing.
But economist Don Drummond’s mandate wasn’t just to find these sorts of immediate savings. It was to
suggest ways to fundamentally reform Ontario’s public service so it can deliver better programs for the
long haul. The health-care sector is where that transformation is most desperately needed. That’s why
health accounts for nearly one-third of Drummond’s 362 recommendations.

34. EDUCATION / NDP
• Really? This is not what is
best for the students, but
what is best to keep
teachers employed.
•
• If Horwath was concerned
about the school closing,
especially rural areas then
fixed policies that attract
business investment to SW
Ontario.

37. NDP AND HYDRO RATES
• You do realize buying
back Hydro One will be
$4.5B preposition,
right? There are other
things to deal with that
is including cancelling
FIT, not selling power
at $1B loss,
compensation at Hydro
One, supply
agreements, etc.
•
• You seem to throw
money at symptoms,
not the cause!
You have no solution! The only solution is buying back Hydro One. You have
never mentioned what you will do about the following
1. FIT Contracts
2. Selling power at a loss
3. capping rates increase
4. supply agreements with MB and Hydro PQ
5. Scaling back Wind/Solar projects
