The McGuinty government is always talking about the fact that 83% of the items that we purchase everyday won't increase in price as a result of the HST. I'd like to point your attention to the other 17% of items that will increase as a result of the HST. These items include necessities such as heat & hydro, gasoline for your car and internet access.

In the next few weeks there will be several improvements to the Bramalea-Gore-Malton NDP Riding Association’s web site. The improvements will include the addition of a Blog section, News feed filter (like Google news) and most importantly of all the launch of our tax time donation e-campaign.

On behalf of the executive for Bramalea Gore Malton Riding Association I’d like to wish everyone all the best in 2009.

I would also like to direct your attention to the Ontario Health Coalition’s web site specially the media release detailing the auditors’ report on the P3 hospitals. After 7 years of hard work by the OHC and it’s members this report says exactly what everyone expected, that P3’s are signifantly more expensive than a publicly funded hosipital. The bottom line: They cost more and deliver less.
