ONTARIO ELECTION; THE TRUTH DIED HERE

   Because on Friday, Ontario will still be one of the world’s most indebted non-national governments, the Liberals having hiked public debt to $325 billion in 2018, 134% higher than the $138.8 billion they inherited from the previous PC government in 2003.
  Neither Horwath nor Ford had the courage during the campaign to tell voters the simple truth.
  That is that it’s ridiculous for Horwath to promise free dental and pharmacare, and for Ford to promise income and gasoline tax cuts, before the new premier gets a look at the province’s books.
   This given that the auditor general, backed by Ontario’s Financial Accountability Office, has already cited the outgoing Liberal government for “bogus” accounting.
