Premier Dalton McGuinty says spending cuts are on the way
Things are bad in Ontario. How bad? Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals are about to table an economic statement with a record-shattering $22 billion deficit, and are sounding gloomy warnings of cuts ahead. The Premier won’t even rule out mandatory furloughs for public-sector employees, à la the “bad old” Bob Rae days. Dust off the Nirvana records. It’s time to relive the early 1990s.
