As if any more proof was needed, the Ontario budget tabled this week has driven home, yet again, that the province’s Liberals, and their leader Kathleen Wynne, haven’t learned a thing. The government is particularly proud of having “balanced the budget,” as it had previously promised, by the next fiscal year. The Ontario Liberals have spent money like the proverbial drunken sailor for a decade, ramping up the province’s debt to $312 billion (it was $132 billion when they took office in 2003). But it’s a little rich for the Liberals to claim to have balanced the books while still adding tens of billions to the province’s debt tab.
