The budget was pretty much as expected, and included a lot on what the NDP campaigned on. Most of it is why I voted against the NDP. I cannot get on board with the move to the $10 per day daycare or the removal of tolls. Tolls are an important part of curbing traffic, and it is now costing the province $500M per year. This money has to come from somewhere, and implementing a new tier for incomes taxes to pay for the removed tolls, will increase the tax burden for many people who don't take the bridges daily. I don't think the government should be in the business of building condos, and their 114,000 figure is horrifically unrealistic. I have gone on many times about this, but the whole plan on the 114,000 units is short sighted, costly, and doesn't actually solve the problem. If the NDP wants to eliminate MSP premiums I'm all for it, as long as they show how they can pay for it. They still haven't done that.
