Everyone is looking for change in this election. The NDP and PC have been trying to get votes by creating platforms that exploit voter fears with band-aid solutions but no real vision into the province's future which leads me to believe it's negative change. I don't really think this is providing the change that is needed. I question the motive of the members of the NDP and PC. I don't feel they have given enough thought to the future of Ontario. It's as if they just want to get the job and be in control because they may not agree with the current political situation in Ontario. The Liberal platform seems to offer more real change than theirs.
Latest change from Howarth has been trying to create more health scandals that aren't scandals at all.. As well, there's orange pumps all over the place. I think the pumps are cute but wouldn't ever vote based on cuteness. I would take this into consideration however:

Latest change from Hudak is his promise of a war on the unions, public sector workers and wage freezes. REALLY?! I foresee service interruptions and failure in health, education and service across Ontario period. Not to mention our resources wasted in negotiations that will add no value and if avoided, make up for the cost of keeping these workers happy. I am not one to really like the idea of unions either but if I had a nice union job, I probably wouldn't be complaining. The public service workers really work in thankless positions but provide really good services for us. We need to stop attacking these poor people.
Oh and here's the latest change with the Liberal front. Our only hope to bring real lasting change and a brighter future to Ontario:

My Own Alternative Idea and Some Info You Should Know
There's been allot of talk of taxes in this election campaign but I wanted to point something out:
This is a fact! Ontario has the 2nd lowest income tax rates out of all the Canadian Provinces.

Notice also that we don't have a 4th income tax bracket like many other provinces, federally and many places around the world? This brought me to think of something. Why not introduce a fourth tax bracket in Ontario for those who are doing well? Say those who bring in more than $180K pay a percent or so more. The distribution of wealth is becoming less spread out in Canada and it would actually be beneficial to those with greater incomes to help out rather than blame the government for everythhing. In turn, the economy picks up and the assumption is that so would the income and value of investments for these high bracket earners.

Just a thought. Rather than pick on the public service workers and cause grief to everyone in the province I think this would be a much better alternative to help with Ontario's current revenue problems and economy woes.
