HAMILTON - Premier Dalton McGuinty and his cabinet
ministers will be greeted by a ring master and a roulette wheel when
they go into a $300-a-plate fundraiser on Monday.
The Premier and his supporters will be asked to spin
the wheel and answer the question: How should
Ontario invest $2.4 billion? In tax cuts to big banks and
corporations, or in job creation and quality public services?
When: Monday, November 29
What: Hamilton Trillium Dinner for the
Ontario Liberal Party
Where: Liuna Station 360 James Street
North Hamilton, ON
What time: 5:30 p.m.
OPSEU members are campaigning against the Premier’s
$2.4 billion-a-year cut to the corporate income tax rate as one
million public sector workers are being asked to take a wage cut
equal to the rate of inflation.
“A wage freeze for the workers who defend children
from abuse and neglect, protect your health card from fraud and
train the workforce of the future, doesn’t make sense when every
single dollar they give up will go to pay for corporate tax cuts,”
said OPSEU Regional Vice-President, Mike Grimaldi.
In an August poll of 1,000 Ontarians by Angus Reid,
75 per cent said the McGuinty government should cancel the corporate
tax cuts.
“The best investment for Ontario right now is the
jobs and services that will make our province stronger today and in
the future,” said Grimaldi.
OPSEU is holding rallies at Liberal events across
the province.
