Denley: There is so much wrong with the budget Ontario’s PC government delivered Wednesday that it’s hard to know where to begin.
Let’s start with one small positive. If viewed from a very high level as a one-year plan, it sounds OK. Lots more money will be spent on COVID-related health costs and on help for beleaguered private sector workers and businesses. That was expected.
Get into the details and the longer-term economic plan, though, and you will find a government that passively accepts years and years of massive deficits and whose plan to kick start the economy relies on little more than the same ineffective ideas Ontario governments have been trying for years. PC supporters will be challenged to find even the slightest light blue tinge to this budget. There is little to distinguish it from the kind of nonsense delivered during the Liberals’ long deficit run.
