Dalton McGuinty sent a strong signal this week with his new cabinet appointments that he intends to continue with his tax and spend agenda. He signalled what could amount to expensive moves by growing cabinet to 27 people, appointing a Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, creating a new cabinet committee on 'poverty', and entertaining municipal requests to increase the PST. These moves demonstrate that he is ignoring all economic indicators that the Ontario economy may be in for a rough ride.
