The Progressive Conservative leader, Tim Hudak, has geared up his attacks on the Liberal government’s controversial handouts of cash to corporations, calling the practice “economically disastrous” and “morally wrong.” Criticizing one of the key initiatives planned by the Liberal Leader, Kathleen Wynne, for keeping and luring jobs to Ontario, Hudak made a harsh-worded speech prepared for the London Chamber of Commerce explaining that lower taxes are more effective.
Mr. Hudak alleged that “the McGuinty-Wynne government gave millions to Kellogg’s for a plant in Belleville that employs 100 workers — the same Kellogg’s that turned around and closed a hundred-year-old plant, laying off six times as many workers in London.” London is an important riding in the June 12 election, which is why it is being recurrently visited by all major party leaders as the Conservatives and NDP beef up their tactics to defeat veteran MPP and Liberal candidate Deb Matthews — Wynne’s deputy premier and health minister — in London North Centre.
According to Hudak, his 30 per cent cut to corporate taxes will be financed by tossing Wynne’s $2.5 billion “corporate welfare slush fund.” He commented that a scandal-in-the-waiting with money “to be handed out at the sole discretion of Liberal politicians” and compared it to social assistance cheques. He questioned “can you imagine if politicians personally decided who got regular welfare . . . maybe give out twice as much welfare in Liberal ridings as in opposition ridings?” Previously, Wynne has accused Hudak for an approach that would “destroy” Ontario’s auto industry by refusing to provide aid to keep high-paying jobs.
