Amherstburg voter asks “what is the PC government afraid of?”

What has happened to our democracy? At seventy-five years of age I am seeing the government of Ontario reducing our so called free democratic society into a dictatorship?

Are we following the steps that are being taken in the United States? 

To side-step a very negative “Watch Dog Report,” ergo a snap election, which if elected, will give the Ontario PC Government an additional year adding to five years of who knows what will happen.

See the watchdog report, by going to CBC and search Ford’s push to expand alcohol sales early to cost the province $612 million, further, the FAO also said there will also be a $215-million cost as a result of lower tax revenues as grocery, big box and convenience stores are not subject to beer, wine and spirits taxes.

Are the PC Government’s hands in so many “wealthy pockets” that they were pushed into costing Ontarians millions of dollars as the report states?

Back to the subject of democracy, by calling this snap election Mr. Ford has literally taken away the votes of many persons who had the audacity to take a vacation. Because of the length of time it would take to get their mail in ballots to them and returned by Feb. 27, he has silenced a number of eligible voters in Ontario.

Mr. Ford says he has called this election to get a mandate from the people, to respond to the United States government, then why not get a mandate from all eligible voters?

Begs the question “what is the PC Government afraid of?”
