Hugh Mackenzie
Huntsville Doppler<\/p><\/div>\n

In the last provincial election, a little more than a year ago, I voted for Doug Ford. I did not vote for him in the leadership race. I voted for Christine Elliott, who by the way won the majority of votes. I can\u2019t remember if it was a ranked ballot, but if it was he would have been my last choice.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, when the election came around I voted for him. I could not vote for the NDP who have socialist tendencies and had a shot at winning the election. There was no way I was voting for the Liberals, who after more than a decade in power left us broke: a deficit of $15 billion, an almost insurmountable debt of $347 billion and an annual interest payment of $13 billion. Think what we could have done with that. I like some of the principles that the Green Party stands for, but they had no chance of affecting the balance of power in that election. And, so, I ended up voting for Doug Ford. I saw little choice other than staying home, which I have never done.<\/p>\n

There are some things that Doug Ford and I have in common. He believes in less rather than more government. So do I. He believes in reducing public debt and so do I. It boggles my mind that so many people in Ontario and, for that matter, Canada, recognize so strongly the threat of environmental issues to our future but ignore an equal threat to our future, of uncontrolled debt, that eventually will lead to an inability to provide basic services to people, such as health care, education and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

Ford also believes in strong fiscal management which means spending less public money than you take in, and so do I. I guess that is why I am a Conservative, although, unlike other partisans of all stripes, I am not afraid to call my party out when I think they are wrong.<\/p>\n

For these reasons, I was cautiously optimistic when the Ford Government won a majority a little more than a year ago. Whatever my concerns about Doug Ford, I knew he had a strong front bench with people like Christine Elliott, Caroline Mulroney and Rod Phillips. In addition, apart from politics, without personal experience with him, I found it somewhat hard to dislike the guy. He came across as affable, someone who really seems to care about people and has been, at least up to now, exceptionally accessible for a Premier. To me, he did not come across as arrogant or overly ego-driven.<\/p>\n

The problem, however, which overrides all of this, is that it became readily apparent that Premier Ford and some of his inner circle did not know the first thing about how to run a government or how government works.<\/p>\n

One of the early signs to me was a personal one. With the ink hardly dry on his appointment as Premier, the first thing Ford did was to cut the size of Toronto\u2019s Council in half. There may have been legitimate reasons to do that in due course, but there was no consultation, no rationale and no plan for the consequences. It did not appear statesman-like. It appeared vindictive.<\/p>\n

And then to add insult to injury, he stuck one more knife into his political nemesis Patrick Brown by preventing him from running for election as Regional Chair of Peel. In order to do that, of course, he had to cancel every election at large of Regional Chairs in Ontario and that is when it became personal.<\/p>\n

I had filed to run in an election at large, for District (Regional) Chair in Muskoka. I had a strong platform to drastically reduce the cost, role and power of District government, which was, and still is, way out of control. We had done the polls. We knew I had a good chance of winning and my platform fit nicely with the Ford agenda. But it was not to be. The baby went out with the bathwater.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

Subsequently, the Ford Government seems to be working hard at pissing off people. Most of us know that the cost of government and therefore the services it offers has to be reduced. But the knee-jerk manner in which they have gone about it, has not worked. There has been little consultation, serious angst about important services being eliminated, such as financial help for autistic children, and little evidence that the real waste in government is being rooted out and done away with.<\/p>\n

A few days ago, the Toronto Star ran an editorial, the headline of which read, \u201cFord must rebuild trust<\/em>\u201d<\/em>. The last thing the Star really wants is to see Doug Ford succeed, so of course they don\u2019t mean it. But I do. There is still time for Doug Ford to stop acting like a kid in a candy store with his newfound power. He needs people around him who understand how government really works and not people who see their role as rewarding their friends and attempting to destroy their enemies.<\/p>\n

Doug Ford has a mandate to reduce the cost of government and to get the Provincial debt under control. He still has time to do that, but he desperately needs a transparent plan that the people who voted for him, and agreed with his priorities, can support. To me, instead of ad hoc cuts here and there, with little cohesion and even less explanation, he needs to take another route.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

The Government needs to require every single Ministry to find a percentage, say from five to 10 per cent, of waste and unnecessary programs, Tribunals and commissions and so on that no longer have any real purpose. Some of the bureaucrats, who never want to give up anything, will inevitably come back with cuts to essential services to embarrass the Government. But Ford must push back and dig deeper than that. Anyone who has worked in government, including myself, knows there is waste, duplication, programs that no longer serve the public interest and sometimes an unwillingness to find better and more cost-efficient ways to do things differently. If Premier Ford is really serious about reducing the cost of Government, and I have to believe he is, he needs to find those things and get rid of them. He has people in his Cabinet who know how to help him to do just that.<\/p>\n

Ford also needs to be bold, especially when it comes to our unmanageable debt. No one likes taxes and increasing them is clearly a political risk. But our Provincial debt will not go away without extraordinary measures and it must be dealt with. Perhaps a special, time-limited tax is in order with proceeds to be directed solely to debt reduction and nothing else. Legislation forbidding deficits except under extraordinary circumstances would also be helpful.<\/p>\n

So, the question remains, is it too late for Doug Ford? I would like to see him succeed because many of the things he stands for are things I believe to be important. Can he do it? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n

And time is quickly running out.<\/p>\n
