news Queen’s Park Watch: Eco Taxes, or Why Tim Hudak Thinks You’re Stupid

PC leader Tim Hudak celebrated American Independence Day on Monday with a press release lambasting Dalton McGuinty for so-called “eco taxes” and promising that if elected the Tories will free Ontarians from their oppressive yoke.

The statement shouldn’t surprise. Hudak has been programmed by PC spinmeisters such that every other sentence must contain the words “taxes” and “McGuinty,” and thus far the strategy is working. However, in this case there’s one problem: it’s a load of crap.
