We were taxed heavily with a lot of increases. The EI payments were raised significantly but it was made much harder to collect. Even our young people with part time jobs trying to save for university were charged even though there was no way they would be able to collect. But MOST IMPORTANT, they slashed transfer payments to the province for health care. Mike Harris is still vilified for how he had to make cuts in health care but he didn't have the funds. The Liberals kept those in Ottawa to pad their "surplus" Dalton McGinty better watch out. The Liberals will likely do it again but this time he will be the one forced to make cuts.
