The government’s flip-flop on eco fees is the latest retreat for the Liberals, who’ve been forced to pull back on poorly articulated policies that have backfired with the public.
Premier Dalton McGuinty pulled the plug on a sex ed curriculum that irked parents and religious groups, issued a mea culpa for a secret fence law for the G20 summit that drew howls of outrage from civil libertarians, and killed plans to sell off a stake in Ontario’s largest Crown corporations to slay the province’s huge deficit — all in the last four months.
He said Gerretsen never apologized for approving the new fees nor admitted trying to sneak it in on the same day consumers were hit with the new 13 per cent harmonized sales tax.
“We believe the shell game will continue,” added the Progressive Conservative leader.
“Most importantly, the McGuinty government is pointedly refusing to bury this tax grab once and for all.”
