“The premier’s desperate ‘strong medicine’ ads are leaving only a bitter taste in the mouths of Ontario families,” Tabuns said. “Instead of a last-ditch campaign to sell a tax that no one wants, the McGuinty Liberals should be listening to Ontario families and hitting pause on their plans to bring in the HST.” Read more»
