It’s becoming more and more clear that the Andrea Howarth led NDP party is NOT the NDP of the past fighting for social injustice. In fact, I think this NDP’s new direction seems like a deceptive representation of the NDP brand and almost right leaning. Some claim Andrea Howarth and Ontario NDP are only

I think one of the biggest issues in the upcoming provincial election is JOBS! I’ve seen it all over the media and it’s also of personal interest to me as I’m looking for work right now.
So I thought I would do a little analysis of each of the major party’s platform strategies for job creation. Here goes:
PC PARTY
Looking at the PC platform there isn’t much there regarding any plan or strategy towards job creation except for this statement:
“A Tim Hudak government will focus on letting the job creators – not the government – drive new job growth.”
Since when has that ever worked???!! We’ve been seeing unemployment rates soar while businesses post record profits and rich shareholders make gains. It’s obvious that the job creators aren’t going to use any gains towards driving new growth as shareholders are more important to them.
Anyhow, the PC platform goes on about:
- Lowering family tax rates
- Cutting red tape for businesses
- Lowering corporate tax
- Updating the apprenticeship system (however it’s unclear and poorly written as to how or why)
- Raising corporate taxes
- Tax breaks for businesses that provide training for employees
- Tax breaks for businesses that buy Ontario goods
- Freezing tuition rates for post secondary education
- Make Ontario more competitive globally to attract jobs
- Education
- Increased early childhood education
- Summer learning for struggling students
- Changes to teacher’s education programs to increase “hands-on” experience
- Grants for low-mid income family’s post-secondary education
- Relief with loan payment for post-secondary graduates
- Incentives for job creators
- Doubling trade missions to attract global investment in Ontario
- Promoting innovative businesses in Ontario
- “Green” energy incentives
- Lowering taxes on new business investment
- Continued support of apprenticeship programs
- Continue to make Ontario people healthy and healthcare more accessible
- Leadership in Northern Ontario mining jobs and industry
FYI – A recent article proving value in “green” energy.
