Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty and his lackeys are kicking us when we’re down.

During the worst recession in our province’s history and poised to increase taxes in July, McGuinty is giving tax collectors $45,000 apiece and he’s making us pay for it.

Outraged now?

You should be.

Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan recently announced that the province is releasing 1,251 tax collectors to the federal government, because the province’s sales tax department will be obsolete, as of July 1, 2010.

Conservatism, especially in Canada, seems to suffer from many different flaws—depending on which corner of the conservative tent that you happen to occupy at any given time. It's too hard, it's too squishy, it's too mean, it's too nice; take your pick.

But I'd say that in the right wing's attempt to dominate the political arena, a vague formlessness is probably the Tories’ greatest flaw.
