Sousa should pay careful attention during de Jong’s visit this week, but it’s unlikely he will. This Ontario government rarely looks west for anything. Except equalization cheques, of late.
TORONTO - B.C. Finance Minister Michael de Jong is in Hogtown this week to speak to the Toronto Region Board of Trade about opportunities for economic growth in both his province and Ontario.
Taxpayers here in Ontario should hope and pray that their finance minister, Charles Sousa, will be in the front row taking copious notes. Given the provinces’ vastly different fiscal track records, it’s hard to believe both these governments call themselves Liberal.
